Protective garment information
Helstons describes the Trust as tested and CE compliant and indexes a separate conformity document for the Trust Plain. The accessible manufacturer information does not reliably state the current standard, garment class, certificate validity or individual protector levels, so none is assigned here.

Product questions
Does the Trust include a back protector?
Yes. Removable protectors for the shoulders, elbows and back are supplied with the jacket.
Does the removable thermal liner have sleeves?
Yes. Helstons' current specification states that the Thermo-Alu liner covers both the body and the sleeves.
Is the jacket waterproof?
Helstons specifies a membrane designed to provide protection against rain, but does not publish a waterproof rating. As this is a leather garment, correct care is important and prolonged contact with water should be avoided.
How does Plain Black differ from Dirty Brown?
This listing is the clean Plain Black finish. Dirty Brown is a separate Trust version with a more distressed heritage appearance.
Can Moto Central help with sizing?
Yes. Visit the Moto Central showroom for fitting guidance, or contact the team before ordering if you are between sizes. A motorcycle jacket should feel secure without restricting your riding position.
Leather care
Clean gently with Marseille soap and a damp, non-abrasive cloth, rinse carefully and allow the jacket to air dry away from direct heat. Feed the leather with a suitable neutral or black leather cream and natural wax. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron.
