Product questions
Does the jacket include armour?
Yes. John Doe states that Level 1 shoulder and elbow protectors are included. The back-protector pocket is ready for a compatible protector, but the back protector is sold separately.
Is it waterproof?
The Aero Mesh Jacket is designed for maximum ventilation and John Doe does not publish a waterproof membrane for it. Choose a separate weather layer when rain protection is needed.
Can it be worn in cooler weather?
Yes, with suitable layering. John Doe offers the optional Aero Mesh Windblock Jacket specifically as a thin inner layer for cooler rides.
Moto Central fitting guidance
Try the jacket in your normal riding position. Confirm that the shoulder and elbow protectors stay centred, the sleeves cover the wrists and the collar and zip close comfortably over your usual base layers. Moto Central can help with fit and protector positioning in the showroom.
