A new Belstaff standard: made of TekWax. Belstaff uses synthetic fibres in the weaving process so the fabric does not rely on thickness anymore to provide exceptional abrasion resistance. The result? A light and safe motorcycle jacket.
The Belstaff Roberts 2.0 has a design that translates extremely well to waxed cotton, the material Belstaff built its reputation on. Only Belstaff re-invented the wax cotton and upgraded it to TekWax. TekWax is a new innovation that uses high-grade synthetic fibres intertwined with Belstaff’s high-quality cotton to obtain an abrasion-resistant fabric that achieves an A rating in the new CE Abrasion & Tear tests.
Using synthetic fibres in the weaving process means the fabric does not rely on thickness to provide exceptional abrasion resistance. D3O CE certified Level 1 armour is included in the elbows and shoulders and offers excellent impact absorption and there is of course a pocket for you to add an optional back protector.
The Belstaff Roberts 2.0 is a sturdy, yet not an overly heavy jacket. The outer layer will keep mild rain out because of its waxed nature, but should you get stuck in heavier rainfall, the Roberts has a breathable yet waterproof Miporex membrane underneath.
* A waterproof membrane does not mean unlimited waterproof. The waterproofness depends on the quality of the membrane. Are you looking for 100% waterproof? Then select a motorcycle jacket with GoreTex membrane.
