Alpinestars Managua Gore-tex Jacket £700
www.alpinestars.com
A STYLISH JACKET with a nice cut, good adjustability and plenty of pockets. It’s made of quality materials, including a Gore-tex laminate outer, mean that I’ve been able to wear this £700 jacket all through winter. With the thermal liner removed and the vents open, it should be better for riding through summer than heavier textile suits (like my Rukka Arma S). The trouser connecting zip is fiddly and there’s no back protector but there is a pocket for one. Also comes in black. MATT HULL
