Trilobite Ace Jacket

Trilobite Ace Jacket Item # 673913

Description

Ace jacket is a city riding jacket with maximum focus on style and functionality. The jacket itself has a very urban look. The upper shell looks like denim but it is actually made of strong Polyester fiber which provides a high level of abrasion resistance. When it comes to the rain, there is a fixed Tri-Tex® 10 000/10 000 waterproof and breathable membrane inside which will not let the water in. Moreover, this jacket is hydrophobically treated all over the surface. The urban design is complemented with subtle leather parts in brown color.

Ace jacket is lined with original DuPont™ Kevlar® aramid fibers in impact zones (back, shoulders, and elbows) which ensures abrasion resistance during friction.

Removable Trilobite® Premium protection CE level 2 in shoulders and elbows, will guarantee maximum impact protection. Optionally, this jacket can be equipped with Trilobite CE level 2 back protector. Maximum visibility is a very important safety aspect especially in rush city riding, therefore the stitching in the upper back part and arms is made with 3M reflective thread.

The main purpose of this jacket is to offer appreciated functionality and details which come handy in daily city life and riding. If you always struggle to find the right place to put your sunglasses away, you will find a smart solution on the chest of Ace jacket. It is easy but priceless.

When your bike needs an attention, or you search the map looking for direction and it is dark outside, the tiny yet powerful Micro Photon II Super LED light is handy on your jacket. The beam of light is visible 1,6 km and it is rated 4,5+ Lumens, although actual output is somewhat higher. The light can run 12 hours of countinuous usage and it works even in sub-zero temperatures. It weights only 7 grams and the combination of Photon's glass-filled Polyurethane body and unbreakable LED bulb makes a virtually indestructible light. Every rider trully welcomes this feature.

Four outer pockets and two inner pockets will ensure enough space for your daily essential things such as keys, cell phone, wallet, documents, etc.

In the waist there are stretch ribbings which provide extensive comfort. Ace jacket has a bit longer back panel, so it fully covers rider's back. It is a city riding equipment which will be appreciated by all riders who do not want to carry anything extra and expect maximum function from their riding equipment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by J dawg from Premium Value Jacket I've worn jackets from several manufacturers; Icon, alpine star, Joe Rocket. This has to be, hands down, the best of the bunch. Feature packed, slim fitting. The best feature is just how unbelievably warm it is. On a 5-10 degree C day I don't need anything more than a t-shirt underneath. The neck and cuffs make a fantastic seal to protect against cold air. I can't say enough good things about this product. Also, it is unique and you don't see many of them around. 100% recommend and I rave about it to all my riding buddies

Rated 5 out of 5 by Biscotti from Great features I bought this recently to have as a riding jacket for the shoulder season. So far, really pleased with the style, comfort and warmth. My other jacket is a REVIT and the sizing is very similar. The jacket did not come with a back protector and tried to order one through Fortnine but could not locate the correct one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jdfraer from This is a great looking jacket. I bought this jacket from F9 along with 2 others to try. This was definitely my favourite! It looks great even with the included should and elbow pads installed (SAS-TEC). The attention to detail makes this jacket an understated head turner, reflective stitching on the chest and arms, real leather trim around the cuffs and zippers. The mini-led light is a bit of overkill, but maybe someday it'll come in handy. The fabric on this jacket is recycled polyester inside and the denim blue outside is a great low-key alternative to all the black jackets out there. I haven't worn in it the rain, but it says and feels like it would be waterproof.

I ride with mini-apes so my arms are straight forward. Does the jacket bunch at the shoulders or elbows when the arms are out like that?

Asked by: Ligered

Since the jacket is made of textile, which is more forgiving than leather, it most likely will but it should be less than a jacket with a thicker material like leather.
