Cortech by Tour Master Latigo Leather Jacket

Cortech has used a combination of perforated and non-perforated leather as well as nylon stretch panels in the construction of the Latigo Jacket. The overall styling is much like that of a race suit… very form fitted which is geared toward the aggressive sport/street rider. The end result is a stylish design that is quite comfortable and offers very good protection. The nylon stretch material is used under the arms and across the chest, and flexible leather accordion panels are used in the shoulders, at the elbows, and at the sides for extra flexibility. For protection, there is a removable triple density back protector as well as C.E. approved armor for the shoulders and elbows. The shoulder armor is removable; however, the armor for the elbows is permanently sewn into place. Fixing the armor to the shell of the jacket is more secure than just having it in a nylon pocket sewn into the liner. In addition, this jacket has some external molded shoulder protectors which provide some extra protection and ventilation, and they look pretty cool too. There is also EVA foam padding in the collarbone area and in the mid-section of the torso to give the illusion of six pack abs (can’t hurt, right?). The ventilation on this jacket should be quite good, and the jacket does come with a vest-type liner for when the weather turns cooler. The liner should block the majority of the wind on the torso, but the insulation feels pretty thin (so don’t expect too much warmth).
