LS2 is best known as a helmet brand, but it has also been producing a small clothing range for a number of years, where it is now making a serious push to increase its presence. The latest addition is the AA-rated Narvik, an adventure-style jacket with a spec for year-round use.
For the summer there are large zipped ventilation panels on the front, twin rear air vents, and zipped sleeve vents; for the winter there is a removable thermal liner; and as rain is almost a certainty year-round in the UK, there is a fixed waterproof membrane which is rated to 8000mm of waterproofness. Protection is provided by CE level 1 armour at the shoulders and elbows, with optional level 2 chest and back protectors also available.
Practical features for touring abound, with lots of straps on the arms, waist and collar to adjust the fit, a pair of front waterproof pockets and a huge rear waterproof pocket big enough to carry spare clothing. The Narvik comes in men’s sizes S-5XL and ladies sizes XS-5XL, in a choice of black with hi-vis yellow trims or a BMW-esque grey, blue and black with red trims, for an SRP of £179.99.
