Ped Baker, 11 May 2012 09:50

Keis heated jacket, £169.99Time used: Two months What’s good: This top of the range heated jacket is packed full of features including outputs to piggy-back heated gloves and insoles, a specific pocket for the optional controller (£39) and well positioned stretch panels.

Barbour Surtees waxed jacket, £279.95 Miles covered/time: 500/one month What’s good: The wax cotton jacket has made a bit of a comeback recently with many manufacturers now offering similarly styled garments.

Ped Baker, 16 November 2011 13:49

Lewis Leathers Countryman No385 jacket, £675 Miles covered/time: 500/one month What’s good: The adage “buy well, buy once” has never been more apt when it comes to the Lewis Countryman jacket.

Tucano Urbano Libeccio 837 Jacket, £128Miles covered/time: 500 miles/six months What's good?

Jacket review: Belstaff Trialmaster

Ped Baker, 04 September 2009 16:10

Belstaff Trialmaster jacket £379.99Miles covered/time: 3000 miles/four months What’s good? Modern motorcycle clothing and clothing for the ‘normal’ world don’t often mix well, especially when it comes to waterproofs. Despite Italy’s best efforts, wear a waterproof bike jacket down the pub and people will point. That’s not surprising when the majority look as if they belong to an eastern European ...

Gerbing heated vest review

Ped Baker, 28 May 2009 13:49

Gerbing heated vest, £126.25 Time owned:10,000 miles/seven yearsWhat’s good:In seven years this heated waistcoat has never let me down. It’s short enough to wear under a leather jacket to keep spring chills at bay but has a high enough heat output for 200mile sub zero epics. The heated collar negates the need for bulky winter neck tubes. Takes five minutes ...

Suit review: Aerostich Roadcrafter suit

Ped Baker, 01 May 2009 13:25

Best bits: The top-to-bottom zip arrangement means you can get in or out of the suit in less than ten seconds and it fits over your normal clothes. The fabric is more substantial than any other textile garment I’ve owned including premium brands like Rukka. Compare and buy motorcycle clothing Worst bit: Since the bankers stole all the money the ...
