Belstaff Outrider jacket in khaki Product Information
It didn't have a membrane, so was no good in the rain. Yet it was too robust to make for a summer-weight jacket. Nor did it come with any venting. And even though Belstaff says this jacket was modelled on a style from their archive, I can only imagine that that is based on a very loose interpretation, because certainly I have never seen anything like it.
But within a couple of weeks of its release, we sold a couple, even though it's not even on our website; and so we've had to revise our thinking. Perhaps we do have customers to whom a shirt-cum-jacket like this does have an appeal?
The styling is subjective, but there's lots of things going on here. You get a large collar on the jacket, although it is poppered, so shouldn't flap too much as you track across town. You get diamond-quilted padding on the shoulders and elbows. There's concertina stretch banding at the elbows and behind the shoulders for comfort. There's a flap pocket on the left breast, but nothing on the right. There's corduroy in the neck for comfort. The tail is a little lowered, which is good to see. That tail, confusingly, is also faced in corduroy. You get two, zipped, hand-warmer style pockets on the outside. There's another one inside the jacket. There's a poppered adjuster at the ends of the sleeves.
So, what's our view? Well, a little undecided really. We don't see this as a serious motorcycling jacket, but for someone who does most of their riding in an urban environment, and who doesn't need a membrane or good venting, the Outrider passes muster.
