Bolton: a stylish name for your new bodyguard

Bolton: a stylish name for your new bodyguardThe new jacket from LS2 is the ideal ally for comfortable and safe everyday motorcycling, especially in the difficult mid-season.

The year 2023 was once again a testament to the rise of two-wheeled urban mobility in Europe. LS2, aware of the need to protect all these users who ride motorbikes on a daily basis, presents the Bolton jacket. A lightweight and comfortable companion that offers maximum safety, without losing sight of the importance of a careful and metropolitan design. With removable protections on shoulders and elbows, CE Level 1 certified and made of three-layer softshell, the new LS2 jacket is available in a men’s and women’s version.

For years, motorbikes have been the undisputed protagonist of urban mobility. A role that continues to grow exponentially, at the same pace as the need to protect and ensure the safety of all motorcyclists who travel daily on their mounts. While it is true that there is an important awareness when it comes to quality equipment for long routes or trips, it is essential that this awareness extends to the cities. This is where LS2, a manufacturer of helmets and motorbike equipment, comes into play. LS2 is committed to creating an accessible product catalogue that combines first-class materials and the latest technology.

One of the latest additions to their portfolio is the LS2 Bolton waterproof jacket, an urban style jacket designed specifically for the in-between seasons and mild winters. It is made of triple layer softshell and is waterproof and windproof, making it an unbeatable ally even on days when the weather is bad. The rider’s safety is guaranteed thanks to the removable protections on shoulders and elbows, certified according to the EN1621-1:2012 standard, at CE Level 1. In addition, a back protector can be incorporated (the LS2 851 Level 2) and it is prepared for a chest protector.

Its light weight and the incorporation of a thermal lining and hood, both detachable, as well as a waterproof front zip closure, make it an extremely comfortable and functional garment, as shown by the inclusion of a front chest pocket and side pockets, and reflective strips for total visibility of the rider in all conditions. Design also plays an important role. With a sober and urban character, it stands out for its fit that adapts perfectly to the rider’s body and for its casual and metropolitan touch.

The LS2 Bolton waterproof jacket is available in black and in a wide range of sizes from S to 5XL for the men’s version, and from XS to 5XL for the women’s version, for a recommended price of 149 €.

Maja Kenney of Maja’s Motorcycle Adventures reviews the LS2 Chart Evo Lady Pant

LS2 Serra Evo Ladies Jacket

The LS2 Serra Evo Ladies Jacket is an all-purpose jacket ready to take you from the daily commute to a long tour. Suitable for most weather conditions, it is waterproof, breathable and well-fitted. 

The LS2 Serra Evo Ladies jacket is well fitted to a woman’s shape and suitable for a variety of motorcycling rides.

Earlier in the year (June), I had a trip to Norway and this time it was a different style of riding. I knew there would be plenty of off-roading to do and wanted a jacket that would be suitable for any weather without having to stop to adjust anything. LS2 Serra Evo Jacket fitted the requirement. It is waterproof and breathable with vents for warmer days. It also comes with a thermal lining but I was hoping that won’t be necessary (it wasn’t).

What I really like about the jacket is the flattering fit for a lady. With several adjustments available, it really follows the body shape beautifully for a look that is safe and attractive.

New LS2 All Terrain Adventure Glove

Flexible, breathable and designed for comfort on highways and byways, LS2’s versatile All Terrain Gloves are a must for adventure-seekers. 

All Terrain use goat skin in their construction because it is tough enough to resist abrasion from tarmac, yet soft and supple enough to allow plenty of feedback from the controls when riding on tracks. It’s double layered on the palm and other key areas, for maximum durability.

For added protection there are Level 1-certified TPU protectors over the knuckles, and padded sections at the base of the hand and over the vulnerable scaphoid area. As you’d expect, the gloves are fully certified to the latest CE safety standard.

The rest of the All Terrain’s shell is a lightweight, flexible textile containing neoprene and lycra for flexibility and breathability – a must for demanding days off-road. The goat skin sections are also perforated to help heat and perspiration escape.

Stretch panels at the finger joints and lycra sections between each finger help with precise operation of the controls – crucial when tackling loose surfaces and a silicone print on the palm improves grip on the bars.

The short cuff design sits easily under riding jackets, and has hook and loop closure for a snug and secure fit. There’s no need to remove the gloves to operate devices either, as both index fingers are touchscreen compatible too.

LS2 All Terrain Gloves come in both men’s (sizes S-2XL) and ladies’ (XS-L) versions, in four colourways: Black, Black/Blue, Grey/Red and Black/Hi-Vis Yellow. All retail at only £49.99 including VAT.

Padded ankle sections make them super comfortable to wear off the bike too; ideal for commuting and touring.

New Carbon Modular Helmet From LS2

Travel light whenever and wherever you ride with LS2’s new Vortex, which features a carbon fibre shell, Bluetooth connectivity and is dual-homologated as both a full face and open face helmet.

Made from 100% high-grade carbon fibre – the same material used in the aeronautical industry, Formula 1 and MotoGP – the Vortex weighs just 1300g*, significantly less than regular flip-front helmets which can be upwards of 1700g.

Alongside the aerodynamic shaping of the shell, the low weight helps keep the wearer’s head stable at speed and reduces pressure on the neck and fatigue on longer stretches – a real bonus when touring.

A full wrap-around neck curtain and one at the chin help keep the wind and weather out, as well as reducing annoying and tiring wind noise – essential when tackling long stretches of motorway or dual carriageway.

This also helps with hearing sat nav directions, rider-to-passenger and bike-to-bike comms, as well as music – all possible as the Vortex is LINKIN Ride Pal Bluetooth-ready, for full wireless connectivity on the move.

The quick-release visor is formed using 3D Optically Correct “A Class” Polycarbonate, which avoids distortion for a clear view of the road ahead, and is supplied with a Pinlock insert to reduce fogging. A drop-down sun shield also features, and is operated using an easy-to-find slider on the left side of the shell.

Inside is a removable and washable hypoallergenic lining for comfort and freshness, plus Dynamic Flow-through Ventilation – with adjustable intake ports, internal channels and exhaust ports – delivering a constant, light flow of air when needed.

The LS2 Vortex is available in sizes XS-XXL (53-64 cm) and retails for £299-.

It is also available with the LINKIN Ride Pal system (RRP £129.99) for the special price of £399.99.
