Leather Motorcycle Jacket Buyers Guide Scorpion All In Naked
A Buyer's Guide to Leather Jackets - More Than Skin Deep
Scorpion All In Naked $400 Scorpion calls its gear Exo-Wear, as in exoskeleton. We didn't crash-test the All In Naked, but it's clearly built for more than style. Inside is a removable, medium-density foam back pad. Removable CE-approved armor resides in the shoulders and elbow/forearm area, with holes to assist with ventilation. The jacket itself is constructed from heavy 1.2-1.4mm drum-dyed cowhide with a double layer over the shoulders. A removable, full thermal liner with Scorpion's KwikWick material helps wick away perspiration; it even provides access to two of the jacket's three inside pockets. Two more zippered pockets are found on the front waist. Sleeves close with a zipper and two-position snap, while the front has a heavy-duty metal zipper with a wide wind flap. Gusseted zippers on each side of the waist allow adjustments, and stretch panels on the back of the elbows increase comfort. And from the padding in the elbows and shoulders to the black-on-black stripes and "Scorpion" across the front, it's plenty stylish. The All In Naked even has subtle, printed gray ghost and black-stitched flames on the right sleeve. | RATINGS | | Comfort | 4 | | Protection | 5 | | Versatility | 3 | | Overall | 4 | Notes: A triple threat of protection, comfort and style-the All In Naked does it all.
