Road Tested: Saint Engineered Classic denim motorcycle jacket



Saint came out of nowhere when they burst onto the scene with the world?s first single-layer CE-approved motorcycle denim. The Melbourne-based brand has been developing its ever-expanding range of products ever since, so today we’re looking at one of their newest items?the Saint Engineered Classic denim motorcycle jacket.
The Engineered Classic jacket is constructed from, you guessed it, Saint?s ‘Engineered’ denim. That puts it at a lower price point than the company’s ‘Unbreakable’ products, while still earning it a CE class AA rating. (If you’re not a gear nerd, like me, AA is the second-highest rating for CE-approved motorcycle apparel, based on the garment’s material, stitching, and armor.)
Garments with a AAA rating (the highest) aren’t always practical or cost-effective for the average rider. I don’t own a pair of racing leathers?but even if I did, it’s not as if I’d slip into them just to pop down to the store for ice cream. I generally aim for AA-rated clothing when I’m on the road, and I always ride with elbow, shoulder, and back armor installed in my riding jackets.
The Saint Engineered Classic denim jacket ships with CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors. Riders do have to fork out extra for the optional D30 Viper back protector?and while there are points deducted for this, I?m grateful that Saint includes armor options for their jackets. I simply wouldn?t wear them otherwise.
