I have a Dainese Jacket which is getting a bit nippy for the winter so i just bought this Belstaff Explorer jacket off Ebay. I hate getting cold, much prefer to be too warm

Does anyone know if they are any good?

Belstaff......Gore-Tex......Primaloft.....Knox protectors.....what more could you want. It should be the Mutts Nuts with that spec. Good price 'n all.

Great jackets. I keep looking for NOS ones on ebay. My old one lasted very well and never leaked.

Sorry to put a damper on things guys, but I chucked my Belstaff Explorer away Heap of crap IMHO. First one leaked at the elbow after 6 months summer riding. Had the devils own job exchanging it through Fowlers of Bristol, who wanted to send it for testing before they exchanged. After a 'heated' debate they finally exchanged the jacket for a new one which then gave out within the next 6 months The cuffs all got frayed and fluffy whenever they came within 6 inches of velcro and the trouser fastener snapped and the zip broke too (before you lot say anything nasty, no I hadn't put on any weight) Total ****e. Still use the trousers with the aid of braces, but need over trousers to keep the water out of the crotch

Like I say, It's only my experience and to be fair, I bought it in the first place on a reccomendation, so not everyone has had a bad'un. Hope yours proves me wrong

The cuffs on mine got fluffy too but it never leaked, even sitting in driving rain all the way oop North for 6 hours.

So this was a long time ago, then?
