Scorpion XDR Master Jacket Review Part 2 Sportbiketrackgear.com

[AdvancingIdeals]

I am wondering. Is this jacket going to be able to withstand abrasions and still be usable like a rugged leather jacket. My options are this or a leather jacket. I love this jacket as an all-arounder, but really how well will it protect me in a crash?

@AdvancingIdeals No it can not perform as good as leather. There are trade offs in each direction. Textile typically means lighter and often times more air flow while sacrificing a little protection. With the leather it is typically a bit heavier and warmer with a higher level of protection.

You don't seem to have unusually long arms, yet the sleeves seem a bit short. When will manufacturers understand on a bike sleeves can never be too long. Summer exists and we dont always have long winter gloves over the jacket.

That said great review as usual, and overall the jacket is exactly what I'd buy if only they had longer sleeves (same problem with most brands except Rukka and some models of Dainese so far).
