Product questions

Is the back protector included?

Yes. Helstons supplies removable protectors for the shoulders, elbows and back with this jacket.

Is the Chica suitable for different seasons?

The removable thermal waistcoat helps adapt the jacket to cooler or milder conditions. Comfort will still depend on temperature, layering and riding speed.

Is this jacket waterproof?

The Chica has an internal membrane intended to provide protection against rain. Helstons does not publish a hydrostatic waterproof rating for this model, so it should not be described as guaranteed waterproof in every condition.

What does Class AA mean?

Class AA is the garment classification recorded on the current Helstons certificate for this exact Bordeaux / Grey reference under EN 17092-3:2020.

Leather care and Moto Central fitting guidance

Follow the sewn-in care label. Helstons advises gently cleaning suitable leather with mild soap and a clean, damp, non-abrasive cloth, allowing it to dry naturally and feeding it regularly with an appropriate neutral or black leather cream. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron the leather jacket.

For the best fit, visit the Moto Central showroom with your usual riding layers. We can check sleeve reach, shoulder movement, waist adjustment and protector position while you sit in a realistic riding posture.
