Looking at the new Wolf Nimbus K jacket and trousers, they are 40% kangaroo leather, 60% cowhide and have level 2 armour all round. The jacket also has outlast quilted lining which supposidly regulates body temparture.

I've no idea but a few months back a friend I see rarely, did mention he was really pleased with his new'ish Wolf Trail boots.
Not the same but .... Laughing

Can't specifically recommend the leathers but I have some of their textile trousers and they're lovely, good quality and haven't let a drop of rain in, in 2 years. So, as a brand I'd be happy with them..

I'm happy with recommendations on any of their products, just want to know like how comfortable and well put together their products are.

One of the things that's stood out on the textiles is that they have an ankle zip, inside there there's material to keep the two sections of material attached. This is so you can get them over boots. On every other pair of textiles I've had I've caught the zip on that and it's ripped. The Wolf ones, even though I've managed to catch the zip many, many times it's still not ripped.

The quality on the Wolf products does look good from what I can see, more so than Rst, Dainese, Aplpinestars Etc

Ive got some older Wolf Leather trousers and gloves that have lasted a long time, and more importantly built to last. Would buy Wolf Products again for sure.

I've still got a "Wolf" leather jacket I bought in 1980!
It's survived a few crashes, the leathers still good, it's the stitching that's falling apart.
It's had 3 or 4 new linings in it, courtesy of my mum!
Unfortunately it doesn't quite fit anymore, it's still got some 1980's TT badges on it, I'm thinking of having it framed and making some art with it! Mr. Green

My dad recently bought some "Wolf" gloves. Can't vouch for longevity but they are certainly lovely and comfy and appear good quality.

I'm a fan of Wolf Nimbus leather jeans, having owned at least three pairs (of increasing waist size!). It looks like they've updated them slightly, judging by your links. They fit me better than other brands I tried. They're well made, tough and comfortable once worn in a bit. I was a bit disappointed that the Wolf Titanium textile jacket's waist zip didn't fit the older jeans but that's my only gripe. I'd definitely by more Wolf kit.
