Reusch no-Dirt Motorcycle Jacket

Reusch is in Germany a company renowned for motorcycle clothing, especially for gloves. Internationally they are more famous for their winter sport gear. The no-Dirt jacket is available at Polo, article no.: 20050707009 , click here . Usual price is Euro 359. The jacket is currently sold at Polo for Euro 199. It is called no-Dirt because of its dirt repellent nano-coating. Besides of that, it offers some other interesting high-end features, which usually are only found on much more expensive jackets.

Quality materials:
- grey areas from Schoeller® Dynatec® NanoSphere® with dirt repellent properties
- black areas from 500 D Nylon
- shoulder and elbows additionally covered with a layer of Schoeller®Keprotec® (Dynatec and Kevlar mix)





Tough material with nano-coating:


Six huge membrane supported aeration zippers which actually work, two for each the front, rear and the sleeves:


Adjustable waist:


Adjusters for the width of the jacket's bottom:


Sleeves adjustable with two straps for each arm, cuffs have zip and velcro closures:


Two pockets inside the jacket (watertight), and four on the outside. Here one of the two watertight chest pockets; note the 3 way closing system:


Sling for the inseam, can be invisibly stored in a small pocket. A (short) pants connector zip is provided as well (not pictured).


Included thermal liner jacket:



Plus
- usage of high-end materials provide a safe feel
- textiles from companies with proven track record for producing effective abrasion resistant materials
- no "Titanium nylon shell", "Platinum ballistic nylon", or whatever fantasy materials with unproven properties
- aeration zippers work
- sufficient number of pockets
- dirt repellent
- watertight
- does not flutter
- strap for the inseam

Minus
- very heavy
- collar not detachable
- wears a bit stiff
- bulky fit around the arms
- redundant big lettering on the rear side


Conclusion
Nanosphere coating with self cleaning effect and the heavy duty materials are outstanding features for this price. It's certainly watertight, has detachable winter liner, a five piece CE approved protector kit, etc. etc. etc.. This jacket comes with no lesser excellence than BMW jackets that cost 5 x as much! The seams do not look as straight as on the higher priced BMW gear, but the functionality is top. If you are in a market for a jacket, buy it before somebody else does!
