Helstons Modelo Rag Leather Jacket Camel / Black

The Helstons Modelo Rag in Camel / Black is a vintage-inspired cowhide motorcycle jacket with an aged, lightly waxed two-tone finish. Its 0.9 mm to 1.1 mm leather, removable thermal waistcoat and rain-protection membrane make it a practical choice for riders who want classic styling with adaptable comfort.

Who is the Helstons Modelo Rag for?

This jacket suits road riders looking for a supple leather jacket with a distinctive worn-in appearance. The Camel leather is contrasted by Black panels and details, while side adjustment tabs help refine the fit. The removable sleeveless thermal layer can be taken out in milder conditions.

Protection and certification

Helstons' published EU type-examination document identifies this exact Camel / Black leather version as reference 20180003 CN and describes it as a motorcyclist's protective jacket tested to protocol VPM-006 10/2012, urban level. That certificate expired on 12 February 2025, so it is included here for product identification and historical transparency rather than presented as current certification. Helstons does not state an EN 17092 class for this reference in the available document.

Weather guidance

The integrated membrane is intended to help protect against rain. Helstons does not publish a waterproof rating for this jacket, so it should not be treated as a fully waterproof outer shell for prolonged heavy rain. The removable sleeveless Thermo-Alu waistcoat adds warmth through the torso but does not insulate the sleeves.

Product questions

Is the Modelo Rag waterproof?

It has a rain-protection membrane, but Helstons does not publish a waterproof rating for this model. For sustained heavy rain, use a dedicated waterproof over-jacket.

Is the thermal lining removable?

Yes. The supplied Thermo-Alu layer is a removable sleeveless waistcoat, so it warms the torso without adding insulation through the sleeves.

Does the jacket include a back protector?

Yes. Removable shoulder, elbow and back protectors are supplied with the jacket.

Why can the leather vary in appearance?

The Camel leather is lightly waxed to create the intended aged, two-tone Rag finish. Natural variation and the worn-in effect are part of this colourway's character.

Leather care

Clean the leather gently with a damp, non-abrasive cloth and a small amount of Marseille soap, then allow it to dry naturally away from direct heat. Condition it with a suitable neutral leather cream and test any product on an inconspicuous area first. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron.

Moto Central fitting advice

If you are between sizes or plan to wear thicker layers, visit the Moto Central showroom for a fitting where possible. Check that the protectors sit correctly at the shoulders, elbows and back, then test reach and movement in a riding position before removing the labels.
