Firstgear's Babe leather jacket makes a motorcycle jacket look classy. It's not your typical black leather jacket that you wear to the office, that's for sure, but it's not rough around the edges either. The Babe jacket is definitely made for riding.
It's made from premium heavyweight 1.1-1.2mm drum-dyed leather as well as Powerstretch paneling on the shoulders. The zippers are heavy-duty, made to resist a tight fit. And you'll also find smaller zippers for ventilation on the back and upper sleeves.
Armor padding is optional and not included, but there are plenty of pockets you could add protection to. You can also use these pockets to store anything else you need on the road (maps, valuables, etc.).
One last thing to observe is the Babe's fit. Notice the contouring around the high-waisted midsection. This will make the jacket feel extremely snug. So if you want a normal fit, get a size higher than you normally would. Then you'll really feel like a Babe!
