Belstaff ladies Trent jacket in olive Product Information
Let us be up front about this. The ladies Belstaff Trent jacket is a pretty direct copy of the Klim Marrakesh jacket. It’s as simple as that. What we know from Klim about the chassis of the Marrakesh is that it starts out with a 1000 denier Cordura that is then infused with Elastane to give it its stretchability. Belstaff is slightly less forthcoming. They tell us that the Trent (as with the mens' Tamar) also employs a 1000 denier material that is woven with stretch fibres to endow it with 4-way stretch. If anything the Trent feels even stretchier than the Marrakesh, although we’re not sure whether that’s necessarily a good thing. The Trent feels a tad less robust than the Marrakesh, and if we have a fear it would be that the outer fabric might, with time, relax too much. Right now that’s an unknown. But certainly the Trent's outer chassis makes for a jacket that’s supremely comfortable.
Anyway, despite its stretch the Belstaff Trent jacket still rates AA under EN17092; that's better than lots of high-airflow jackets, and really as much as one could ever expect of such a jacket. And that's the same as the Marrakesh.
Now, as we have intimated, the Trent is a copy of the Marrakesh, but actually it betters it in a number of respects.
The first is that it comes, as standard, with Level 2 D3O Diablo armour in the elbows and shoulders. In the Marrakesh you get Level 1 Ghost, and that is just not as good. Although to be fair the Marrakesh comes with a Level 1 back protector whereas the Trent comes with no back protector. If you want a level 2 back protector for the Trent,, we'd go with one from Rheon.
The other way in which the Trent scores over the Marrakesh is the sizing it comes in. And frankly, for us, this is a big, big deal. The ladies Marrakesh comes in six sizes and whilst the smaller sizes work well on people once you have reached a medium and beyond the arm length seems to grow out of proportion to the growth in body size and that is just not what happens in real life. We have found with shorter women that unless they are in a small or extra small, the arms are just way too long. Really to fit a Klim ladies XL or 2XL you need to be six foot tall.
The Belstaff jacket also comes in six sizes; but those sizes span a much narrower spectrum. And they seem to fit proportionally more women. They also have a waist adjustment which the Klim does not.
The rest, as they say, is just detail. Two front pockets with flaps. Elasticated loops that allow you to attach the jacket to a trouser belt. An inside zipped pocket. Poppers at the natural waist to adjust the fit. A zipped cuff with a gusset. And a silicone-coated bottom snap to protect the tank.
There's one last thing. A waterproof coating. But don’t get the wrong idea here. The waterproof coating will do virtually nothing. This is an airflow jacket. After ten minutes in the rain you will get wet.
