BELA HIGHLAND MEN MOTORCYCLE JACKET BLACK ICE GREY

BELA Highland Motorcycle Riding Jacket The Highland is a working jacket for riders who commute, tour lightly, and ride through whatever the weather decides to do. Cordura construction, a bonded Reissa membrane, and a removable thermal liner give it genuine three-season capability. CE-certified armour at the shoulders, elbows, and back means protection isn't an afterthought. Bela builds gear without overcomplicating it. The Highland doesn't promise things it can't deliver. It's highly water-resistant, genuinely breathable, and warm enough for cold-weather commuting with the right base layer. What Kind of Rider Does the Bela Highland Suit? The Highland works best for three riding contexts: Commuters who ride five days a week through variable weather and need a jacket that handles the job without constant adjusting. All-season recreational riders who want one jacket from September through May without buying separate cold and wet weather gear. Touring riders on a budget who need layered weather protection, CE-certified armour, and practical storage in a single piece. TL;DR: 600D Cordura shell, Reissa membrane, 75g removable thermal quilt, CE EN1621-1:2012 Class A armour, four pockets, YKK hardware, reflective panels. A no-nonsense three-season jacket built for real riding. How Does the Bela Highland Handle Wet Weather? Highly water-resistant. Not a substitute for a fully waterproof jacket. Here's the honest version. The Reissa membrane is laminated inside the Cordura shell, not inserted as a removable liner. That means the outer shell doesn't absorb water, the jacket stays light in the rain, and drying time is short when you stop. It handles light rain, drizzle, and spray without issue. What it won't do is protect you through a prolonged downpour or a full storm. If heavy rain is a certainty, a lightweight over-jacket or a fully laminated alternative is a better call. Think of it as a highly capable all-weather jacket, not a fully waterproof one. For 90% of rides, it's more than enough. Materials: How Is the Highland Built? Every material in this jacket has a clear purpose. 600D Cordura Polyester (double PU-coated, WR-treated): The outer shell. 600D Cordura is one of the most abrasion-resistant fabrics available in textile motorcycle gear. The double polyurethane coating and water-repellent surface treatment mean light rain runs off rather than soaking through. Reissa Waterproof and Breathable Membrane: Bonded to the inside of the shell. It stops water penetration while allowing vapour to escape outward. Without this layer, the jacket would just be windproof. With it, it's genuinely breathable in changing conditions. Micro Mesh Lining: The face fabric you feel on a warmer day with the quilt removed. Lightweight and non-clingy. It keeps air moving against your base layer and prevents the jacket from feeling sealed shut. Removable Laser-Dotted Thermal Quilt (75g fill): Soft, light, and properly warm for cold-weather riding. It attaches and removes cleanly without fuss. The 75g fill hits the right balance between warmth and packability. Neoprene Collar: Soft-touch finish that seals the neck opening without rubbing. It's a small detail that matters on longer rides. YKK Coil Zippers: Used at every closure point. Smooth, reliable, and durable enough to outlast the jacket in most cases. Pockets and Storage Four pockets, all placed where you'll actually use them. Pocket Location Waterproof waist pocket x2 Outer shell Phone pocket Removable quilt liner Cargo pocket Base layer interior Phone, wallet, keys, and a compact disc lock all fit without needing a separate bag. Adjustability and Fit The jacket is built to fit the riding position, not just the body standing still. Velcro strap adjusters at the waist, cuffs, forearms, and biceps let you tighten or loosen the fit depending on how many layers you're running underneath. Accordion elastic panels at the elbows and shoulders flex naturally with arm movement, removing tension across the upper back when you're reaching for the bars. Zipper adjusters at the cuffs work with gloves worn over or under the sleeve. A rear zip connects to compatible motorcycle trousers for a secure waist-to-trouser seal. The front uses a waterproof YKK zipper backed by a velcro storm flap. Silver reflective panels on the chest, arms, and back improve passive visibility in low light.

Shoulders, elbows, and back protectors are all CE certified to EN1621-1:2012 at Class A. All three positions accept Class AA upgrades if you want a higher protection level. Can the thermal liner be used separately? It's designed as an inner layer for the Highland specifically. It's not intended as a standalone jacket. Does this jacket connect to motorcycle trousers? Yes. The short rear zip links to compatible trousers and closes the gap at the waist on longer rides. How should I wash the Bela Highland? Hand wash at 30°C only. No bleach, no tumble drying, no ironing. Air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the membrane and shell coating.
