Super ladies textile motorcycle jacket

The Held Tamira motorcycle jacket for ladies

For several seasons the Held Hakuna adventure riding jacket has been a best seller for men. This is the ladies version. The jacket has a removable inner lining that is both waterproof/breathable and thermally insulated. With that lining zipped in, the jacket is waterproof and defends you against rain and wind-chill. Take it out, however, and you have a superb summer touring jacket with plenty of air vents. Multiple outer pockets make this practical for border crossings and the French motorways. The waterproof inner lining can be stuffed easily into a large pocket situated on the outer lower back panel. The back offers a protector pocket that can be upgraded with CE Level 2 armour from the Held range. RRP £269.99

Fitting the Held SAS-TEC back protector

The Held SAS-TEC Quattrotempi back protector is superb. It's robust, yet soft enough to mould, using your body heat nicely to the shape of your back. It's nice and light too, you hardly know you're wearing it. 

The protectors come in three sizes, Small, Medium and Large and fit most Held Jackets - not just the Quattrotempi range. In this blog you'll see how we fitted it, in less than five minutes, perfectly for the Held Sixty-Six Jacket. 

The protectors are made for the longer jackets- but there's no reason why you can't easily adapt them for the perfect fit to the shorter jackets too, such as the Sixty-Six. Take a look:

Held Sixty-Six Jacket and back protector ready for fitting

 

Locate the protector pocket, the SAS-TEC protector is so supple it can be easily slipped in

Built for long Held jackets, it's too big for the shorter Sixty-Six

 

Not a problem though- mark a line where it needs to end

Simple tools required to make it fit

Simple adjustment made

Bingo! Nice and snug fit now, ready to ride!

So, it's as simple as that.
