Helstons Rocket jacket in black Product Information
The Helstons Rocket jacket is an understated, café-racer style leather jacket. It’s the best value leather jacket in the Helstons range. It has all the bells and whistles that you would expect of a Helstons jacket. We’re talking about full CE armour, including a back protector, a removable thermal liner, a waterproof membrane and so on. But it is more competitively priced because it is made from buffalo leather as opposed to cowhide. The leather on the Rocket is an impressive 1.1/1.2 mm in thickness, but because buffalo leather is widely available it has allowed Helstons to reduce the price. With the Rocket you certainly get a lot of jacket for the money.
Specification
- CE approved
- 1.1/1.2 mm buffalo hide
- Removable thermal liner
- Fixed waterproof membrane
- CE armour in shoulders, elbows and back
- Volume adjusters at waist and at sleeve ends
Warranty
Helstons jackets have a two year warranty

The chart is quite accurate, but you should be aware of the fact that with its thermal liner and heavy back protector in place, the jacket is going to feel quite tight when you first put it on. Over time the leather will give, and the jacket will become more comfortable. If you order one size larger than you would normally, the jacket may well feel a little more comfortable when you initially put it on. But if you were then to remove the thermal liner and back protector for summer riding, it might well then feel too large.

PAUL: I like it
To be honest I have always bought used leather jackets as a much cheaper option. However I treated myself to this and its real quality. Fits well, zips feel like they are unbreakable and the quality of the leather is first rate.. I cannot tell any difference between cow and buffalo leather but I can see £100price difference.
Tony: Great value jacket
I have to confess that I bought this jacket after the video review which as always is an excellent way to see a product from your home. I was a little daunted by the idea of Buffalo leather yet why should I the leather is great and supple and if I hadnt been told I would not have known the difference against cow hide. Well made and extremely comfortable I am more used to the BMW Atlantis jacket which is hugely expensive but very comfortable The only thing I find questionable is the third popper adjustment on the cuff which is completely out of place and suggests a tiny tiny wrist. A very good buy at a very good price. I am now selling my slightly worn Atlantis jacket as this is better.
