With the Finja (meaning 'from Finland') you might think it's an outspoken winterproof motorcycle jacket, but we'll stick with 'multi-purpose'. Textile, with integrated waterproof membrane and an extra thermal lining.
And at what a price!
The Finja-ST is a good all-round touring jacket for women. With a sporty cut, and therefore shorter than the more obvious touring jackets. But with the typical qualities. Price/quality-wise this is more than just an excellent choice. Waterproof and usable from January till December, IXS offers good value for money.
The IXS Finja-ST is a 2-in-1 touring jacket, made of durable 600D polyoxford. The waterproof solto-TEX® membrane is non-removable and has breathable properties, but beware: when temperatures really rise, this can be a bit too much. Although we're happy to admit that IXS definitely makes an effort to create a good climate control with the breathable mesh lining and four ventilation openings. If you're really heading for the southern sun, a summer jacket is a better option. And if it suddenly cools down very quickly, you can always use the removable thermal lining.
The short cut is striking in this segment. IXS usually sticks to the three-quarter length for touring jackets, so this can all be a bit tighter and shorter. It also means that the adjustment possibilities become less crucial. You can still vary with size in your waist (drawcord), underarms (button) and sleeve ends (velcro), but you will still feel that there’s a motorcycle jacket on your body. The four outer pockets close very well and provide a lot of storage space. Also inside, you can put something in both the jacket and the thermal lining.
There is reflective material and that brings us to the 'protection' section.
The Finja-ST can be combined perfectly with IXS pants, and for this reason is also equipped with a long connecting zipper.
All in all, this is a very versatile motorcycle jacket for daily use. At a remarkably competitive price for sporty ladies.
