So I’m loving my new ‘Legend’ jacket –
I spent a lot of time looking for a well constructed black leather jacket with a classic diagonal zipper that had decent internal and external pockets with real armor and that wasn’t a crazy price.
The ‘Legend’ ticks all the right boxes for me – Great construction with quality leather, great pockets, great protection, good fit – me usually 52/42 got a 44 which is a tad long in the arms but great everywhere else and gives me room for something more than a t shirt underneath with the excellent – not too stiff – armor and back protector installed.
Minor Cons? The neck roll could be softer and with 2 snaps for fit; the torso zip out liner could be a little thicker and warmer [feels a bit thin] and the bottom of the main ykk zipper should be covered to stop the possibility of tank scratching – all stuff I can live with ..
Overall I am very happy with my purchase – An excellent practical retro style jacket that will see tons of use on my Bonneville.
