The W.E.C. jacket is a water resistant lightweight off road ridingjacket with some heavy duty features. Leatt's main concern in designing ajacket like this is the ability for it to integrate with neck braces yetstill be comfortable and easy to wear. The collapsible waterproof fabric neck allows the rider to decide if they would like to cover up the neckbrace and seal out the elements or leave the weather collar off the braceto allow a little more ventilation. If you don't wear a neck brace at all or if you want to wear the jacket casually the collar rolls up neatly andis held down with elastic straps. The top front pocket is 100% waterproofto help protect your valuables. More than just great looking this jacket isa great performer.
