Well-made and comfortable to wear
Brand
It seems that Flagship, the sales company of Elf brand, which sells MotorcycleApparel, has created and is selling a Brand with its own name. In other words, the brand is not from Zero, but is filled with the know-how cultivated by the Elf brand.
■ Design
There are five color variations:White, Green Light, Gold, Red and Black. I chose Black because it has a modest assertion.
■Size feeling
The size variation is quite wide, from M to 4L + LW. I chose LW because I am under 170cm but fat, and L size is Wide.
Also, there is quite a bit of room around the collar, which is very helpful for me as I have a thick neck, but those who do not have a thick neck will need to take measures to prevent the running wind from coming in.
■Outer
It is not cowhide. It is synthetic leather (PU). In the past, PU used to have a nasty sheen or crack easily, and PU used to have an image of being cheap or bad, but modern PU is durable, has a very good texture, and feels and looks as good as real cowhide. Some items may cost more than cowhide. What is even better about PU is that it is water-repellent and durable even when wet, so you can put on a rain coat without panicking even if it suddenly rains. Merit is that it is also lightweight and resistant to odors.
■ Inner
The connection to the outer layer is a button, so it can be easily attached and detached, but there are only a few points where it is secured, so it tends to come off easily for those with a limited size.
■ Protector
They are equipped on the shoulders, elbows, and back; it appears that they can also be attached to the chest with Option. There is no particular pressure that would affect comfort or operation.
■ Comprehensive Evaluation
When you actually ride, you will feel that the shape of the OuterSingle Body is well shaped to allow the running wind to escape; the windproof performance with the OuterSingle Body is high, yet the ventilation is good, so you can ride the Outer alone when you feel a little hot, and it is still high performance.
As expected, it is a very good product that lives up to the Flagship name.

I like that it's Orthodox style and not weirdly Riders.
As I mentioned in the title, it's an artificial leather jacket, but it doesn't look like a rider's jacket, so you can wear it around town. You can wear it around town without feeling like a rider.
However, it is still a Riders jacket, and it is a bit tight, so it is different from just a leather jacket in that respect. It's not just a leather jacket.
There are soft protectors in the chest, back, shoulders, and elbows that can be replaced with Defferential Gearォ, but they are not very comfortable. It's a kind of hard foam urethane.
I have replaced my shoulders and elbows with FSP Protection's Hard protector FSP-99.

I'm 162cm tall and weigh 60kg, so I'm probably a middle-aged man, but I'm wearing the L size. The length and girth are just about right for this, and if you add a sweater inside, it will be a little tight. The sleeves are a little too long, and it would be better if the sleeves were about 2cm shorter, but I don't think that would be a problem.
A cotton-filled Inner (Middle?) is included, but this is delicate to wear because the only linkage is a cord at the back of the neck and a zipper at the cuff. The collar and front of the Inner tends to roll inward when you put it on.
The inner lining is quite warm, unless you want to ride around on a motorcycle in temperatures below -10°C.
If you don't wear Inner, you may be able to use it in late fall or early spring. Is it a little too loose?
Also, there is artificial leather, but it is less expensive, so I think the cost performance is good.

As a winter jacket for my partner.
I bought this as a jacket for my partner who is doing Tandem.
The thermal performance is only winter jacket, but you can wear winter parka etc. inside Quantity:1pc. He said it was warm enough to wear.
The size is 1SizeLarge to wear Parka or thick Trainer inside.
As for the protection, the BirdProtector is firmly in the shoulder and elbow, and it feels safe. However, the spinal Protector is of Soft Type, so honestly, there is a sense of uneasiness, so I recommend replacing it with Hard Type if you can.
Be aware that the chest is not included in the de Fault and must be purchased separately.
The design of this jacket is very similar to a motorcycle jacket, so if you're looking for something that's not too different from what you wear, this is not for you.
The price of this jacket is relatively cheap compared to other winter jackets. The price is relatively low compared to other winter jackets.
