The Robin is a leather motorcycle jacket that combines classic, polished elegance with modern protective technology. Though in all fairness, quality supple leather is already a mark of distinction on its own.
This AA‑certified motorcycle jacket will certainly appeal to motorcycle riders who demand a timeless style without compromising on protection. Made from soft, supple cowhide with a thickness between 0.9 and 1.1 mm, the leather is both the visual and functional centrepiece of the Robin. That leather thickness strikes a perfect balance between protection and flexibility: durable enough for real protection, yet not so heavy that it sacrifices comfort.
Over time, the leather develops a personal patina that enhances the vintage appeal. Leather settles and ‘moves’, adapting to the wearer. The satin lining fits perfectly within the motorcycle jacket’s design vision and feels smooth. Quite fresh, the Robin is a motorcycle jacket suited for summer riding, thanks to a full‑length front air‑vent zipper (ACS) that provides cooling on warm days. Keep in mind, though, this is still a leather motorcycle jacket without membrane. And when not needed, the ventilation flap zips neatly to the inside, staying completely out of the way.
The traditional cut is accented with modern details. The standing collar features a magnetic closure, which in practice means that opening and closing it is nearly effortless. The Robin motorcycle jacket is also prepared for the eVest and eVest PRO systems, for motorcycle riders who want to add integrated airbag technology to a heritage‑style motorcycle jacket. Storage is practical, with four external zippered pockets and two interior ones providing plenty of space for daily use.
This men’s version adds one extra press stud at the waist for tailored adjustment. Limited adjustability, but if you’ve chosen the right size, you won’t need much more.
Safety comes first with height‑adjustable D3O Ghost shoulder and elbow protectors, CE‑certified at Level 2. A back protector and chest protectors can be added as optional upgrades, though the motorcycle jacket carries its AA rating even without them.
Finally, a connection zipper allows pairing with corresponding (Held) motorcycle trousers, though this classic leather motorcycle jacket that blends elegance with function also matches perfectly with a pair of motorcycle jeans.
Below you will find an overview per jacket size of the appropriate CE homologated D3O back protector.
| size of the jacket | D3O back protector | |
