Generally speaking, fashion-forward motorcycle jackets tend to be fairly useless against the elements, and they generally don’t offer much in the way of real protection against skids and spills. That’s where the Dainese Harrison leather jacket breaks from the mold, however. Its stylish four-pocket design and hand-dyed leather outer construction offer the look of a stereotypical all-form-no-function jacket, but hidden underneath the shoulders and elbows lies functional Pro-Shape Armor. There’s even a pocket in the back to accommodate a Dainese back protector. In addition to protection from impacts, the Harrison jacket also comes with a quilted thermal liner to keep out the wind chill when cruising down the road.
This is one of Dainese’s top-tier jackets, normally retailing for $800 — so being able to buy it for $320 cheaper than that price, as you can right now at Revzilla, pretty much counts on a steal.
