For sheer cool, you can’t do much better than Triumph’s impressive new café racer style Air Retro jacket. This lightweight number is perfect around town, especially in the kind of roasting weather we had last weekend.
At a glance, this air mesh jacket looks like leather, complete with dull sheen, good brass zip and poppers and stylish stripes along the pre-curved arms.
But the material is designed to be both abrasion-resistant and to let the air through. It works brilliantly, cooling the rider and letting the air whistle through to your base layer. £139. More at triumphmotorcycles.co.uk.
