Halvarssons Idre jacket in black Product Information

Halvarssons make terrific leather jackets; but our favourites are those that are made from washed goatskin. Goatskin is lighter and thinner than cowhide for its thickness, but stronger. For summer riding and for wearing off the bike, we don’t think anybody can touch these jackets. For added abrasion resistance, the Idre is reinforced in the key areas with Hi-Art. The armour in the Idre is Level 1, but we don’t particularly like Halvarssons’ armour, and the feel of the jacket would be improved immeasurably by replacing it with D3O’s Level 1 Ghost or SAS-Tec’s Level 2 protectors. All the seams on the Idre are triple stitched, and the jacket is equipped with a full-length zip. Now this means you can zip the jacket into any Halvarssons pant but, more importantly, if you use the brand’s Waist Zip, you can attach the jacket to any riding jean that comes with belt loops. As we have said, we like Halvarssons’ goatskin jackets, but with its total lack of clutter, this is probably our favourite of them all.

Steve C: Very Nearly Perfect

I own, and have owned numerous and expensive jackets and this is the best of them. It has a wonderful weathered look, useful to me because I probably dont have enough biking years to wear in the average jacket I have a Highwayman Cascade from 1979 and it just about looks old. The fit is great. I find many jackets have narrow sleeves and with armour, they are too tight for me. Not this one, this jacket and my Halvarssons leather jeans are my go-to outfit. I can wear this arrangement on all my bikes. The only moan I have is that the leather overlap inside the zip line is a little too narrow. It could do with being 13 mm wider to prevent it getting stuck in the zip. Otherwise, very happy with it.

Phil: Idre jacket

This is far and away the most comfortable jacket I own. Supple, sturdy and lightweight but holds the pads discreetly. Great looking, too. Love it.

Carrick: Idre jacket

Fantastic jacket, very comfortable with soft and supple leather in a classic understated design. Great service from Motolegends, the benchmark for all retailers

Tony: Gorgeous jacket

Motorcycling clothing isnt just about protection and this jacket looks really great on and off and feels very comfortable. This is a jacket for a warm sunny day when you ride in a tee shirt, jeans and boots. Love the softness and style. Excellent buy.
