Protection and construction
The listed garment certification is Class AA. This describes the clothing classification; the impact protectors have their own ratings.
The specification lists protection at the elbow and shoulder. Check that these areas sit correctly when you adopt your riding position.
Fit and your riding kit
Assess the jacket in your normal riding position, with the layers you intend to use. Check sleeve coverage, movement at the shoulders and any supplied armour positions. If you want to connect it to trousers, confirm both sides of the connection rather than assuming that similar-looking zips are compatible.
