The Ariel Pro from Belstaff sports the same clean lines and versatility of its predecessor, but gets a new dry-wax shell thats been reinforced with upgraded abrasion protection.

Despite its technical merits, as much as any jacket in our inventory the Ariel Pro excels off the bike as well as it does on it. The D3O shoulder and elbow armor are easily removed for civilian use, with a classic easy style that works in a range of situations.

But with the armor in place the Ariel Pro is ready for the road.

Belstaff is best known for its legendary , a fully belted, heavy-duty waterproof and insulated 3/4-cut coat that is as intense as it is iconic. If youre looking for a lighter, simpler solution to riding safely through the city with style, then look no further than this short-cut summer option. Theres also an in-between stylethe a short-cut quilted-shoulder waxed jacket with removable insulation.

But the Ariel Pro does away with all the quilting, belts, and insulated liners to delivers a clean, stripped down jacket with an aesthetic that belies its technical bonafides.

As with the other Pure Moto jackets in the Belstaff lineup, the Ariel comes with quality accouterments through and throughlike the corduroy on the collar, the lower snaps clad in rubber to protect paintwork, the checkered cotton liner. This thing is downright civilized.

Its also doubly waterproof, with a dry-wax shell thats doubly reinforcedfirst, with a waterproof membrane underneath; and secondly, as part of its Pro upgrade to achieve Class A CE certification, its reinforced with abrasion resistant swaths of Cordura at critical abrasion zones.

The armor is plenty discreet and hides quite well, but and also goes in and out of the jacket quite easily should you want to wear the jacket out on the town.

Were not usually fans of heavy branding, but when youve been around for almost a century and have a logo as cool as Belstaffs phoenix, we make an exception. The Belstaff phoenix on the shoulder tops off the jacket with a touch of class.
