Belstaff
Belstaff Nimbus Textile Jacket Black
The Belstaff Nimbus in Black is a lightweight down motorcycle mid-layer designed to add warmth without excessive bulk. Its compact construction makes it useful beneath protective riding outerwear, while the understated Belstaff styling also works as a standalone casual jacket away from the bike.
The mini ripstop nylon shell is made to contain the down filling while remaining light and comfortable. Inside, a 90/10 blend of RDS duck down and feather delivers 750-fill-power insulation. Bound internal seams and branded stretch binding at the cuffs and hem complete the close-fitting, layer-friendly construction.

Riding use
The Nimbus is described as an insulating mid-layer rather than a protective motorcycle outer jacket. For riding, wear it with suitable abrasion-resistant and impact-protective motorcycle clothing. Belstaff does not state a waterproof rating for this jacket, so it should not be relied upon as the outer weatherproof layer.

Moto Central fitting advice
If you are between sizes or plan to combine the Nimbus with several riding layers, allow for the complete layering system rather than choosing from chest size alone. Moto Central can help with sizing, and riders are welcome to visit our Wolvey showroom to try the jacket with their usual motorcycle clothing.
