Halvarssons clothing

[arry]

Hi

Are these any good? Specifically leather jackets with armour.

Got my eye on one for summer but know nothing of the brand's quality and can't find a local stockist

Cheers

Supposedly very high quality complete with very high price but as always depends on spec.

I used to work at a place that sold the stuff, but it was quite a while ago now. It certainly was good quality, but you paid for that for sure. They were very innovative back then (early 2000s), and had some intriguing methods for dealing with cold and crash protection, some of which I have now seen in other brands, but were original back then. I tend to think of them as on a par with Rukka, but not sure what they're really like now.

I saw them at the NEC Bike show a few years ago, and really liked the stuff, but it cost a little bit too much for me.

If money was no object, I would be all over it like a fat kid with pie.

I like Richa stuff. They do everything from power ranger to hipster with a bit of Jax Teller stuff thrown in for good measure.

I'd quite like the Mugello Jacket next. https://www.richa.eu/en/mugello-jacket?cid=3

I'm told that the view of Halvarssons in the trade (and its sister brands Jofama and Lindstrands) is that they're very high quality with innovative features. More UK dealers would like to stock them but they can't because Rukka doesn't give good terms unless they get exclusivity. And you just have to stock Rukka because of the high demand.

Rukka and Halvarssons/Jofama/Lindstrands are both Swedish and they hate each other.

Can't comment on Halvarssons other than I saw and tried on some of their jackets at NEC a few years ago (out of curiosity, no intention of spending that much money)


Got some Lindstrands gloves though and cannot fault them at all, when you consider the price they're probably the best pair of gloves I own.
