Akito Waterproof Motorcycle Jacket Review

akito edge motorcycle jacket in anthracite.



i wanted a light weight motorcycle jacket with ce armour for summer riding so i purchased an akito edge jacket in anthracite,with 20% off at j&s plymouth i thought it would be a bargain.

oh how i wish i had stuck with frank thomas !

firstly this jacket is not waterproof. rode home in heavy rain and was soaked through to the skin, the so called 100% waterproof fabric soaks it up and in like a sponge.

the jacket was wringing wet and took several days to dry out and akito should be held accountable under the trades description act !.

secondly the arm linings hang down from the sleeves making it impossible to get the zip done up 100%.

akito is budget motorcycle gear but is not a make i would recommend i also have a pair of akito motorcycle trousers which whilst claiming to be 100% waterproof are also not, the rain soaks through the material on this too.

in the end its done to budget i guess, but in the long run its false economy.
