The Segura Hank jacket is a classicall­y-styled leather biker jacket inspired by those made popular in the 1970’s. But unlike those basic 70’s jackets, the Hank is packed full of features. It’s made from cowhide leather with a distressed look and has Ce-approved armour in the shoulders and elbows as well as a pocket for an optional back protector. There’s a detachable thermal liner and adjustable cuffs as well as three inner and five outer pockets.

VALUE FOR MONEY

There’s few items you’ll get more wear out of than a leather biker jacket. You’ll spend as much time wearing it off the bike as you do on it so they really are a great buy and good value for money.

THE LOOK

If there’s one item that says ‘biker’ it’s a black leather jacket. The classic look has been around since the 1950’s and is still the image that defines us.

TROUSERS

To get the most use out of a leather jacket, choose one with a zip that allows it to be connected to leather pants. That way you have the option of making a two-piece leather suit.

DON’T FOLLOW FASHION

Don’t be tempted to buy one of the many fashion leather biker jackets on offer. They might look the part but they won’t have any of the features that make them fit for riding in.

IMPROVING THE BREED

Modern materials have made the black leather jacket more protective and versatile than ever before. Waterproof linings, hard armour and exotic materials like kangaroo skin can all be found in today’s black leather jackets.
