Ashley Watson

I received my Eversholt II jacket today and it looks and feels amazing! The design and materials feel absolutely first rate. Ashley Watson seems to have pulled off the holy grail of a jacket that is AAA rated, fully waterproof and looks smarter than my previous non-motorcycling jacket did for when I get to my destination. I cant wait to put miles into it and enjoy it.

Minimal Branding + Expert Craftsmanship + Solid Protection Being in the US and riding for over 10 years, Ive searched far and wide for motorcycle gear that *both* protects you and looks normal. Its practically impossible- companies make way too much big-branded, logo-stamped, stormtrooper-looking gear. Its only in the last couple years that Ive seen some companies change or emerge with better options. Ashley Watson is at the forefront of developing the ultimate motorcycle clothing. His gear makes sense- its super functional and comes with solid looks that a lot of riders, regardless of experience level, would buy if it was widely available. I know so many riders that prefer their everyday clothes because they cant find motorcycle gear that just looks normal. This company solves that problem. After stumbling across the Hockliffe overshirt 2 years ago, I ventured into Ashley Watsons world. It was so cool to see his adventurous and thoughtful attitude, as well as his design process and goals. He obviously puts a ton of effort and love into getting the entire design and finish of each piece just right, and it shows that he does his own test trips. My other riding tops (some cheap, some expensive) always came up lacking, so I decided to sell them all to snag one of the last Eversholt jackets for colder weather and a summer Hockliffe for warmer days. After two years of use, I can say if you have the funds for a high-quality jacket, these are worth far more than their price. I actually had to go back and look to see how much I paid because I enjoy and use them so much it doesnt matter any more (that has not been the case when expensive gear didnt work out). And the pricing of this gear is right on par with comparable products, many *without armor slots*- incredibly hard to do with a small company. Ultimately, I have all I need for nearly year-round riding now (I dont ride when its icy). Ive done regular commuting, 14-hour rides on highways, and days getting lost on backroads and on trails for camping. I just added a rain shell to my summer kit and Im good to go. I take out the armor for everyday use and when people ask/compliment, they are legit surprised when I tell them its motorcycle gear. I feel the same about Ashley Watsons gear as I do towards Vollebaks- if I could, I would fill my closet with almost everything they offered and be set for clothes for life. They offer extremely well thought out products with the best materials and durable construction meant to last forever. Yes, you can find cheaper options, but these heirlooms offer the best value for price you will find. Best of all, its all I want to wear- on or off the bike.

The Eversholt Jacket has proved to be an excellent choice, and is highly recommended. Riding in bad weather is particularly satisfying, as the Eversholt keeps the wind and rain out even on long rides, despite the jacket not appearing too technical. Having purchased one of the first jackets at the launch in 2017, it continues to be a favourite and is developing a pleasing character of its own thanks to the quality materials which are ageing well. It's tempting to buy the second colour!

Simply the best motorcycle clothing. I wear mine off and on the bike. Everything is considered and oozes quality. We now even have the jackets for all our film crew.
