FAQs

What type of protection does the jacket offer?

The jacket includes D3O protectors in the shoulders and elbows, offering impact absorption. It is also designed with durable materials and reinforced stitching for abrasion resistance.

Is the jacket waterproof or water-resistant?

The jacket features an interlayered breathable, waterproof membrane and a waxed cotton outer shell, providing good water resistance and keeping the rider dry from external moisture.

How should I clean the jacket?

Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Clean by wiping with a damp cloth or soft brush. Use cold water and mild soap for tougher dirt, rinse well, and air dry naturally away from heat.

How often should I re-wax the jacket?

Re-waxing is recommended annually or when you notice a decrease in water repellency. This helps maintain the jacket's protective qualities and longevity.

Can I add a back protector?

Yes, the jacket is compatible with aftermarket back protectors (sold separately) for enhanced spinal protection. Ensure the protector is sized correctly for the jacket's internal pocket.

Is this jacket suitable for all seasons?

The jacket offers a waterproof membrane and ventilation, making it versatile. However, for very cold conditions, layering with thermal garments is recommended. For extreme heat, the ventilation may offer limited relief.

What does 'ultracore' in the wax cotton description mean?

Ultracore refers to a specific treatment or blend used by British Millerain for their waxed cotton, aiming to provide a balance of durability, lightness, and performance.

Troubleshooting

Jacket feels stiff after cleaning or drying.

This is normal for waxed cotton. Allow it to soften with body heat during wear or use a hairdryer on a low setting from a distance. Re-apply wax if water repellency has diminished significantly.

Water is not beading on the fabric surface.

The jacket's wax coating may have worn off. Re-apply a suitable wax dressing according to the product's instructions to restore water repellency.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.

Ensure the zipper teeth are clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant or a graphite pencil (rubbing the tip along the teeth) to ease movement.

Armor feels uncomfortable or shifts during riding.

Ensure the armor pockets are correctly secured and that the jacket is the correct size. The armor should conform to your body with wear. If issues persist, consider a compatible aftermarket back protector for better fitment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Belstaff Brooklands Motorcycle Jacket comes ready to wear. The D3O armor in the shoulders and elbows is pre-installed. Ensure the jacket fits comfortably before riding.

Compatibility:

This jacket is designed primarily for adult male motorcycle riders. While it features integrated D3O armor, it is compatible with aftermarket back protectors (sold separately) for enhanced safety if desired.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Do not machine wash or tumble dry. Clean the jacket by wiping with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For stubborn dirt, use cold water and a mild, neutral soap. Rinse thoroughly with cold water and allow to dry naturally away from direct heat.
  • Re-waxing: Over time, the waxed cotton may lose some of its water repellency. Re-waxing the jacket annually, or as needed, with a proprietary wax (such as Belstaff's own wax) will help maintain its performance and longevity. Follow the wax manufacturer's instructions carefully.
  • Storage: Store the jacket on a wide hanger in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid storing in plastic bags, as this can prevent the fabric from breathing.
