LS2 is most known for its range of helmets, but it has also been selling a range of clothing alongside for some years. It’s now making a big push on its apparel, with a shift towards higher spec kit such as the Apollo adventure suit.
The Apollo jacket is something of a rarity, as it combines waterproof laminated construction with an AAA CE rating. For the shell, triple-layer Cordura shell is combined with stretch fabric in strategic areas, and the laminate claims to be waterproof up to 21,000mm (for the uninitiated, that is a lot!), all secured with a waterproof main zip and storm flap. For colder months there is a zip-in thermal lining, and when the weather turns warm there are large ventilation panels on the chest which can be secured open with Fidlock magnetic fasteners, plus more vents on the cuffs to facilitate a breeze up the sleeves. A four piece CE Level 2 armour set comes with the jacket as standard, and there are pockets for optional chest and back protectors. Other practical features include multiple waterproof pockets, a removable storm collar and a kidney belt to support the lower back. It comes in two colour options – both in shades of grey with red or hi-vis yellow trims – in men’s sizes up to 5XL for an SRP of £499.99. The matching trousers are made of the same Cordura laminate, with a synthetic leather reinforced seat panel, a removable thermal layer, and CE level 2 armour on hips and knees. They come in a black/grey that will match with either colour jacket for an SRP of £299.
