Belstaff Tamar jacket in olive Product Information

Let us be up front about this. The Belstaff Tamar 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 Tamar also employs a 1000 denier material that is woven with stretch fibres to endow it with 4-way stretch. If anything the Tamar feels even stretchier than the Marrakesh, although we’re not sure whether that’s necessarily a good thing. The Tamar 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 Tamar’s outer chassis makes for a jacket that’s supremely comfortable. 
 
Anyway, despite its stretch the Belstaff Tamar 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 Tamar 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 Tamar comes with no back protector. If you want a level 2 back protector for the Tamar, we'd go with one from Rheon.
 
The other way in which the Tamar scores over the Marrakesh is the number of sizes it comes in. And frankly, for us, this is a big, big deal.
 
Of course, as a rider, a wider range of sizes might make no difference; especially if the Marrakesh fits you, but for us it signals a significant benefit. The problem with the Marrakesh is that it comes in only six sizes. That's simply not enough; especially given that Klim's sizing goes from six-stone weakling to a size that we have never ever had to reach for in the shop! It's simply huge.
 
The Belstaff jacket comes in eight sizes; but those sizes span a much narrower spectrum. And what that means is that it may fit all those people who found that a Small Marrakesh was too tight and a Medium Marrakesh was too generous, that a Medium was too tight and a Large was too generous, and so on.
 
The rest, as they say, is just detail. So elasticated loops that allow you to attach the jacket to a trouser belt. An external pocket on the chest. An inside zipped pocket. Poppers at the 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.
