The Course brand from XLMOTO offers riders stylish and affordable motorcycle gear options. The Course Commuter jacket and trousers provide urban motorcyclists useful features and protection without breaking the bank. These pieces are designed to be versatile, allowing you to commute in comfort and safety year-round.

Jacket Details and Features

The Course commuter jacket features a durable yet breathable construction. It uses a laminate membrane material that is both waterproof and breathable, keeping you dry without overheating. For increased airflow on hot days, the jacket includes both chest and back ventilation zips that open mesh vents.

Adjustability is also built-in, with straps at the waist and arms to customize the fit. The jacket offers practicality as well, with multiple pockets, including a hidden inner pocket perfect for coins or cards when going through tolls. Velcro and magnets secure the pockets while a zipper at the wrists helps seal out wind.

The jacket also comes with a removable inner puffer jacket liner for extra warmth. This liner looks stylish enough to wear on its own without the outer jacket.

Safety is also a priority, as the jacket carries CE class A impact protection ratings and is prepped for an optional back protector (sold separately). With its combination of convenience, versatility, and protection, the Course Commuter jacket aims to provide an affordable urban riding option.

Trousers Details and Features

The Course commuter trousers are crafted from PVC coated polyester, making them waterproof and durable. They prioritize both comfort and practicality, featuring a removable inner thermal liner that allows you to adjust for warmer weather. The articulated leg construction and waist adjusters ensure a comfortable, customized fit.

Like the commuter jacket the trousers contain an inner liner. This one goes all the way down to the ankles to keep you nice and warm. Safetywise there's a CE level 1 knee protector and a hip protector. Around the hip there's also a waterproof zipper concealing a ventilation area to open up on the warmer days. On the back there's a zipper so you can connect the jacket with the pant and prevent flapping while riding.

Summary and Conclusion

The Course Commuter jacket and trousers provide an affordable yet feature-packed option for motorcycle commuting and urban riding. With a laminated waterproof and breathable membrane, both jacket and pants will keep you dry in wet conditions while allowing ventilation on warmer days. Multiple adjustable straps and velcros allow you to customize the fit for comfort and protection.
