Halvarssons Torsby brings back the classic leather pilot jacket combined with modern safety features
The new Torsby leather pilot jacket (men’s sizing 48-62) is the ultimate choice for cruising down winding backroads and truly enjoy motorcycling. The Torsby is a nod to the original pilot jackets of the 1950s, refreshed and updated to meet today’s standards in motorcycling safety and comfort.
The soft and natural touch of the tumbled cow nappa leather combines modern luxury with the classic cut of the jacket. It also comes with a detachable faux fur collar that brings an additional layer of warmth on a chilly spring or autumn day. The knitted rib collar, hem and cuffs ensure a great fit and keeps unwanted breezes out.
The all-new Torsby is a perfect addition to the wardrobe of a motorcyclist who wants to wear something lighter for those leisurely cruises without compromising safety or comfort. The leather used in the jacket is a by-product of the meat industry.
Classic looks combined with the latest safety features
Despite its lighter appearance, the Torsby brings together crucial safety features needed for a safe and comfortable motorcycling experience. The jacket is class AA CE-certified.
Back and chest protector ready
The Halvarssons “Furudal” chest protector can easily be inserted into the jacket’s dedicated protector partition, like a large chest pocket. Once the jacket is closed, the protector remains in place and completely invisible. The jacket also has an opening for a back protector.
Next generation of protection
Halvarssons has fitted the Torsby with thin, light weight and breathable level 2 protectors. New protectors can be found at the shoulders and elbows
High abrasion resistant textile (HI-ART)
Halvarssons proprietary reinforcement material, HI-ART, is highly durable but soft and breathable and is used under the outer layer. HI-ART, in combination with a leather, is over 200% more abrasion resistant than the leather alone – a great way to keep safe on the road.
Triple stitching on exposed seams
Triple stitching is another way of contributing to the long life of Halvarssons’ leather products. In practice this means creating three parallel stitching lines on the most exposed parts of the jacket, creating stronger seams.
Easy connection to pants
As with all Halvarssons’ jackets, the Torsby comes with a long connection zipper to pants. Connecting the jacket to pants results in a great fit and ensures that the garments stay in place in all situations.
