‘The Pulsor makes your heart beat a little faster’, is what we heard through the grapevine. Also: ‘The Pul-sor is a pull-over’. To wear while riding your motorbike. That’s technically not correct because it is actually a hoodie. A motorbike hoodie that can be referred to as a full-blown motorcycle jacket. Or a motorbike jacket resembling a hoodie.
We’re not quite there yet but our heart rate has stabilised and the Pulsor has something to do with that. ‘Street-worthy’ is what this hoodie is. It is composed out of a combination of cotton, Twiltex and Dupont Kevlar®. The latter is obviously essential to give everything else plenty of wear- and tear-resistant properties.
The fixed 3D-mesh lining manages to keep it comfortable and pleasant. This Pulsor is no lightweight but don’t expect a waterproof motorbike jacket that will steer you through winter rides, either. Summer, the milder mid-season, the maxi motor scooter, the classic ride or a custom tour ride, those are the areas where this motorcycle jacket disguised as a hoodie feels at its best.
Impact protection complements the wear-resistant exterior: a back protector is optional but the adjustable CE-certified ALPHA elbow protectors and the similarly CE-certified ALPHA shoulder protectors are all part of the standard gear.
With two external slash pockets with zipper, an inner pocket and a Napoleon pocket, there’s more than enough storage space. The sleeve ends and waist are knitted and the first can be adjusted (invisibly but effectively) to ensure a tight fit around your wrists.
The combination with a decent pair of motorbike jeans seems to be apparent, which is why Segura provides a Belt Loop. FYI, the hood that gives the hoodie its name, cannot be removed.
There is maintenance clothing, and then there is clothing maintenance. Good, solid motorcycle clothing is an investment in comfort and personal safety. So invest in its maintenance after your purchase and enjoy your gear for longer.
