Continuing on with my “Rider Reviews” we are going to take a look at the Belstaff Discovery Jacket.

This jacket, although discontinued by Belstaff, is now produced by a spinoff company by the name of British Motorcycle Gear, so while this Jacket is unable to be purchased, the jacket is still manufactured to the same Belstaff standards under a new name, on the same original equipment.

This Jacket Review was originally planned to write a first impressions review of this jacket at 1000 miles.  But that passed, and I figured “Well, I’ll write a review at 3000″ and then that passed and I was like, ok, how about after I get back from my trip? And that is where we are now. With now nearly 13k miles on this jacket since I have owned it, here we are.

So lets take a quick look at the manufactures information.

Mic orders some new gear

British Motorcycle Gear (BMG) EzeOn Pants

British Motorcycle Gear (BMG) EzeOn Pants

With my big trip now just around the corner (so it seems), I have been spending a lot of time going over what I need to finish up before I start.

On that long list of items, I had new motorcycle gear.

Gear is a huge expense, something that I must say that I cringe every time I have to buy new gear.

At present, I currently have in my possession 4 helmets, 3 pairs of boots, 8 pairs of gloves, 2 jackets, and 2 pairs of pants and 1 one-piece leather racing suit.

So when I made the decision to buy all new gear for this trip, it came as no surprise that the gear I would be purchasing, would be more tailored for the style of riding I would be performing.

First up on the list was a new Jacket.

My current jacket, which I will be doing a review of next month, has actually served me well. I don’t have a whole lot of complaints about it, but it is showing signs of wear.  And while it performs adequately in the cooler season, as well as the warmer ones with it’s removable quilted liner and multiple vents (9 in total to be exact. 3 back vents, 4 chest vents, 2 arm vents), its performance in the rain is lacking. Even with keeping up on the water proofing with either Nikwax or Obenaufs, it just wasn’t made to withstand the northwest wet season.
