All-round use, all year round and equipped with all functionalities you can and should expect from a contemporary, decent motorcycle jacket. The Crookton is a 3-in-1 full-fledged touring jacket from Modeka, and at a very competitive price.
A light weight compared to many other touring jackets should not mislead you. Much has to do with the used 600D polyester as outer textile layer. With a zippered, breathable, water- and windproof Hitex® membrane you can deal with almost every weather condition and if it gets too cold, just zip up the removable thermal lining as a third layer in the jacket. Of course, the opposite (too warm) is also possible, but then you have the Air Draft Technology, that provides the necessary cooling by means of well-placed ventilation zippers. On the chest you can use the mesh panels.
As you may expect from a touring jacket, the Crookton is rather long, without that being disturbing. Two adjustable velcro strips on the flanks allow you to center everything tightly. The jacket - even with the removable lining and membrane - always feels light. This provides great wearing comfort and mobility. You can adjust as desired, thanks to velcro on the collar, velcro strips on upper and lower arms and a zipper with velcro at the sleeve ends.
It is almost impossible to have too little storage space with this jacket. One side pocket, one storage pocket with velcro and a small extra pocket with zipper can be found with just your left hand. The right hand is identical, except for the small pocket. Inside you have two inner pockets, both in the thermal lining and in the membrane. One has been specifically designed for your smartphone. The outer jacket has a fifth inner pocket. If you are on the road and you want to store your gloves or lining, you can simply do so in the extra storage space on your back.
The shoulders and elbows are equipped with certified EN1621-1 protectors of the flexible kind. The standard foam back protector can easily be replaced by a certified version. Discreetly applied material (3M™ Scotchlite™) ensures good visibility in the evening and at night.
This Crookton Jacket forms a perfect combination with Modeka Baxters pants. Thanks to the connecting zipper you can quickly create one unit.
