Roadskin Launches the Cole Jacket: AAA-Rated Protection Meets Classic & Cool Style
Roadskin, the UK label specialising in cool, protective outerwear for motorcyclists, has announced the launch of its highly anticipated Cole Jacket. Designed for the modern rider, this completely AAA-rated protective motorcycle jacket is meticulously crafted to look and feel like a stylish, classic piece of casual riding gear. The release offers riders an uncompromising solution. It blends premium road safety with effortless everyday style.
Built to withstand the rigorous demands of the tarmac without sacrificing aesthetics, the Cole Jacket features a robust 350gsm stretch twill outer shell. This exterior offers the essential flexibility needed for navigating tight corners. It also provides a seamless transition to the pub or cafe stop. Beneath the casual surface, a full 240gsm Kevlar lining delivers exceptional abrasion, cut, and tear resistance. Therefore, maximum safety is ensured if the unexpected happens.
Recognising that impact protection is just as vital as abrasion resistance, Roadskin includes highly advanced Rheon Level 2 armour for the back, shoulders, and elbows as a standard feature. This reactive polymer technology stays soft and flexible during normal movement. However, it instantly stiffens upon impact to dissipate energy, showing that premium safety isn’t optional.
The jacket also addresses the practical realities of riding. A full mesh inner lining actively wicks away sweat to regulate body temperature during warmer journeys.
Cleverly integrated collar poppers completely prevent distracting wind flap at higher speeds. They keep the rider focused on the road ahead. Furthermore, exceptionally deep internal pockets are specifically designed to securely hold modern mobile phones and thick wallets. This design does not allow them to dig into the rider’s ribs.
“We know that riders want protective gear that fits seamlessly into their lifestyle,” said Ian, founder of Roadskin. “With the Cole Jacket, we set out to merge top-tier safety with a classic look. We use our collective years of biking knowledge to design clothing fit for function, safety, style, and comfort. It is a jacket that allows you to ride with total confidence and then walk into any venue feeling completely comfortable and appropriately dressed.”
