New Leather and Textile Gear for a New Riding Season

This new and improved Kilimanjaro Women’s Jacket from Firstgear was redesigned with rider feedback in mind. The motorcycle gear company has integrated several new features into the jacket, starting with a waterproof, breathable outer shell made of 400-denier nylon and 100-percent seam-sealed construction. For added abrasion resistance in key areas, 640-denier nylon has been added to the elbows and shoulders.

The Women’s Kilimanjaro Jacket from Firstgear is available in women’s sizes XS-3XL in the three colors you see here. Suggested retail price is $299.95, with a two-year limited warranty.

Other upgrades include fully adjustable D30 T5 CE armor in the shoulders and elbows, delivering the same protection as CE armor but in a thinner and more flexible package. The collar closure utilizes a new slider snap that has adjustment ranges of 1.5 inches for a personalized fit. Cut to fit a woman’s unique figure, the jacket offers compression straps on the bicep and forearms and a waist belt with hook and loop closure.

For protection, the Sapphire jacket comes with removable or upgradable EVA foam armor in the shoulders, elbows and back. Several interior and exterior pockets provide room for essentials, adjustable waist side belts offer a personalized fit, while a snap-down collar keeps you secure in the wind.
