USABILITY

Making your motorised life more enjoyable; that’s our mission. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean we’ll be waiting for you at gas stations to fill up your tank for free. Instead, we spend tons of hours developing innovative specs that prevent or solve complaints and increase your enjoyment in other ways.

Imagine no more loose, floating layers in your jacket. Zipping up in a split-second without having to insert multiple times. Operating touch screens without taking your gloves off or getting rid of that flapping hood by fixing it at the back or zipping it off completely.

In this section you’ll find differentiators that make your life easier – regardless of your riding conditions – and info about the way in which it increases you enjoyment at the handlebars.

EASY CUFF™

SINCE 2009

Loops and snaps that are supposed to neatly connect the separate layers of a jacket or pants. We all know how well that works; it doesn’t. Chances of your watch or foot getting stuck are ten times higher than of you actually putting on the garment without issues.

Make this issue a complaint of the past with our Easy Cuff™, a zip construction at the cuff that keeps the layers fixed and ensures a nice and tidy sleeve. The zip is located at the outside of the cuff, making it easily accessible when needed.

EASY CUFF LITE™

SINCE 2012

Our Easy Cuff™ construction makes getting stuck with your watch or foot a complaint of the past. This zip construction at the cuff keeps the layers fixed and ensures a nice and tidy sleeve. The zip is located at the outside of the cuff, making it easily accessible when needed.

Easy Cuff Lite™ is the further developed variant of the unique original construction. It solves the same problem and works just as well, though it looks much, much better than its precursor, as the zip is now located on the inside of the cuff.

30° BUCKLE™

SINCE 2007

Aside from a closure at the cuff, long-cuffed gloves often also have a strap at the wrist. This strap is placed horizontally in most cases, which does tighten the glove, but also limits your wrist’s freedom of movement.

This complaint is easily solved by our 30° Buckle™, which enables the wrist and hand to move more freely. Thanks to the difference in placement of the buckle, freedom of movement and overall comfort are raised.

COAT HANGER™

SINCE 2007

A motorcycle jacket often weighs (a lot) more than a regular jacket. You might notice it when wearing one, and maybe even more when taking it off and carrying it by the ‘coat hanger’ at the neck – which is often just a textile loop that eventually snaps due to the weight of your motorcycle jacket.

Our Coat Hanger™ is specifically designed to carry the weight of your motorcycle jacket. This strong and durable handle is found at the neck, though we chose to place it on the outside to enable the jacket to dry and air better when stored on, for example, a coat rack.

COAT HANGER LITE™

SINCE 2007

Our original Coat Hanger™ is specifically designed to carry the weight of your motorcycle jacket. This strong and durable handle is found at the neck, though we chose to place it on the outside to enable the jacket to dry and air better when stored on, for example, a coat rack.

Lighter gear such as our hoodies and urban jackets often feature Coat Hanger Lite™, which is a lighter, textile variant. Just like the original Coat Hanger™, it is incorporated in the construction of the outer shell to make it stronger and more durable.

BELT LOOP™

SINCE 2008

Wearing jeans on a sports- or naked bike can get a bit chilly when your jacket decides to creep up on you. Being cold is one thing, getting hurt is another. In case of an incident, you might end up on your back without your jacket covering it.

Raise your comfort and safety with our Belt Loop™. It is made of strong webbing that is secured at the top of the back and runs all the way down your jacket, where you can connect it to your belt. The Belt Loop™ keeps your jacket in place, prevents a cold back, and raises your safety in case of an incident.

BACKONNECT™

SINCE 2009

A downside of many motorcycle jeans is the absence of a zip to connect it to your jacket. It might be comfortable to ride in, until your jacket starts making its way up, or in case of an incident.

Backonnect™ is our solution to this issue, and it’s available in two different variants: a velcro patch with a zip at the back of our jeans, or a separately available universal one. The latter can be attached to any jeans, simply by use of your jeans’ belt loops.

GRIP PRINT

SINCE 2010

There are almost as many different kinds of handlebars out there as there are gloves. This creates many different combinations regarding the fabrics, materials, and structures. Not all of these combinations work as they should, providing less grip than you would like.

That’s where a Grip Print comes in. This coating in certain areas of the outer layer creates additional friction between the handlebar and the palm of a glove, or between the saddle and the seat of pants, raising your levels of control, safety, and comfort.

TOUCH TIP

SINCE 2010

Touch screens dominate the modern day and age. Smartphones, tablets, and even more important for us motorcyclists: navigation systems. It is nice those screens work by touch, but that’s not really helpful when you’re wearing gloves.

That’s why we opt for heat-conductive fabric at the tips of the index fingers. These special Touch Tips enable the warmth of your finger to find its way through so that you can operate touch screens without having to take off your gloves.

FLOATING COLLAR™

SINCE 2010

When shifting your bodyweight around the bike or when diving for the apex, you often feel the collar of your suit being pressed against your neck or throat. Ride around like this long enough and you’ll look like you’re suffering from a serious rash, not to mention the irritation you feel on your skin.

By using neoprene fabric, our Floating Collar™ provides a soft fit and feel to it. In contrast to traditional scratchy collars, the Floating Collar™ prevents pressure points around the neck and raises your comfort.

AEROBACK™

SINCE 2014

Just like Quasimodo, a racing suit just isn’t the same without its hump. Our 1-pieces are fitted with the Aeroback™ hump, which is developed in collaboration with professional athletes in MotoGP, among other competitions.

Our Aeroback™ hump first and foremost protects your spine and neck. Through its shape, the hump also improves aerodynamics and thus makes you faster. In some models, the Aeroback™ is prepared for a hydration bladder.

HYDRATION PORT

SINCE 2014

During an intense workout, like a track session, you need to stay hydrated – if possible, without taking your hands off the handlebars. Because racing suits fit as tightly as possible, there’s only one place to go: the hump.

Some of our suits that feature our Aeroback™ hump are prepared to fit a hydration bladder inside. The nozzle of the bladder can be lead over the left or right shoulder. Keep an eye out for the Hydration Port indication at the top of the hump.

HOODIE HOLDER™

SINCE 2014

If you’re a rider that prefers casually styled riding gear, you might be familiar with your hood catching wind. Being slowed down is annoying enough as it is, not to mention your hood flapping around like a madman.

Prevent your hood from turning into a parachute by using the Hoodie Holder™. Slide the button at the tip of the hood into the Hoodie Holder™ and enjoy a flap-free ride whilst the hood is kept in place.

BACK POCKET

SINCE 2014

Detachable layers are great for the versatility of a motorcycle jacket. Detach or add a layer when the temperature shifts and you’re ready to continue your journey with as much comfort as before. But where do you store these layers?

That’s where the Back Pocket comes in. This large zip pocket at the lower back is large enough to store detached layers. Other accessories you can’t find a place for can also be stored, as the pocket is fully waterproof.

ZIP GRIP™

SINCE 2014

Zipping up without gloves isn’t always a success at first try. Inserting one part into another turns out to be surprisingly difficult for the most intelligent species on the planet. Some of us even try this sport with their gloves on – with little success in most cases.

Our Zip Grip™ is a triangular reinforcement at the base of the main zip. This reinforcement is easy to get a hold of and provides the needed grip when inserting. Zipping up has just become child’s play, even with gloves on!

ZIP-OFF LEGS

SINCE 2014

Wearing long-legged pants on a hot summer day can get uncomfortable, especially when you’re not riding. The alternative – hopping on your motorcycle in shorts or a mankini – might be a bit too much. Let’s meet in the middle.

Zip-Off Legs give you the freedom to turn your protective motorcycle pants into shorts when you’re off-bike. This differentiator can be found in casual-styled pants such as jeans or cargo pants.

HOODIE STRING HOLDERS™

SINCE 2019

There are few things more annoying than your hood flapping around – except for its strings dropping a drum solo on your helmet. Since we already have the Hoodie Holder™ and you’re probably not part of a travelling band: let’s secure those drumsticks.

At the centre of the chest, right next to the main zip, you might find two textile loops. These are the Hoodie String Holders™, in which – you guessed it – the strings of your hood can be secured to prevent them from moving around.

30° BRACE™

SINCE 2022

Aside from a closure at the cuff, long-cuffed gloves often also have a strap at the wrist. This strap is placed horizontally in most cases, which does tighten the glove, but also limits your wrist’s freedom of movement.

This complaint was easily solved back in 2007 by our 30° Buckle, which enables the wrist to move more freely. Our 30° Buckle™ has now been revised and reinforced, which has led to a 30° Brace™, rather than a buckle 2.0.

HYDRO POCKET

SINCE 2022

During active rides, such as adventurous tours or full off-road days, you need to stay hydrated – if possible, without stops or dangerous acts. Inspired by the Hydration Port in the Aeroback™ hump of our leather racing suits, we developed an off-track variant.

At the back of certain pieces of gear, we’ve fitted a Hydro Pocket that enables you to place a hydration bladder inside. The nozzle of the bladder can be lead over the left or right shoulder, which ever works best for you.

CARD POCKET

SINCE 2023

You finally have the weekend off and time to ride. Your motorcycle gear is ready to be jumped into, and shortly after you’re cruising the roads in total freedom. Unfortunately, your happiness only last for a short while as the first toll booth already appears in sight.

To minimise your time lost at mandatory stops such as toll booths, we’ve fitted a Card Pocket at the outside of the left lower arm. You can use this pocket to store an access card or other means of identification or payment.

QUICK ACCESS PULLER™

SINCE 2023

The inner pocket of your motorcycle jacket usually holds important objects, such as your wallet or mobile phone. They’re secured safely by the most isolated pocket in your jacket, though they’re also not quickly accessible.

Enter our Quick Access Puller™: an extended cord that’s attached to the bottom and the runner of the zip. This enables you to open the inner pocket swiftly and gain access to its contents, without having to fumble for the runner when you’re wearing gloves.

QUIXNAP™

SINCE 2023

Snaps, studs, buttons; they’re present in motorcycle garments in all kinds of shapes, sizes, and colours. Even though there are countless differences between all of them, there’s one thing they have in common: you need two hands to close them.

Quixnap™ is the latest and most user-friendly snap on the market. It is easy to use for anybody with a minimum of two fingers, which may even be located on the same hand. That’s all there is to it!

P.A.L.S.

SINCE 2023

Even today, there’s not a lot of choice when it comes to wearable luggage options for motorcyclists. That’s where our utility-style gear comes in.

The garments and accessories in this new segment feature P.A.L.S. webbing or are prepared for our P.A.L.S. baseplate. This enables our utility bags and pouches to be attached in order to expand luggage capacity.

P.A.L.S. stands for Pouch Attachment Ladder System. The last two words refer to the webbing, which enables the first two words; attaching pouches.

ERGO POCKET™

SINCE 2024

Motorcycle jackets often have (at least) two pockets at the front. Some of our jackets are also equipped with a large pocket at the lower back.

In addition, you might now also find ergonomically designed pockets between the back and sides of your jacket. The Ergo Pockets™ are positioned in a way that enables easy access when reaching for one of them.

CONFOLD™

SINCE 2025

Every rider knows how unpractical a motorcycle jacket can be upon arrival. Especially on sunny days, when carrying a heavy jacket in the scorching sun is exhausting to say the least.

Thanks to our patented Confold™ construction, you can now turn your jacket into a backpack for a full hands-free experience off-bike. The backpack provides enough space to store your helmet, gloves, and more.

INSERT BUCKLE

SINCE 2025

Buckles are often easy to use or provide a high-level of security, sometimes after multiple actions. Our Insert Buckles provide a secure attachment after only a single action.

This attachment system consists of a larger buckle with a slot and a smaller buckle attached to the strap. The smaller buckle on the strap locks into the larger buckle on the bag, which guarantees the straps to stay firmly attached.
