The jacket also comes with Knox armor at the shoulders and elbows, and a slot for a back protector. With all those mandatory moto-safety boxes checked, we can move on to the rest of what makes this such a great around-town piece—namely: it doesn't scream "moto safety." Instead of high-viz safety yellow, the Victory is offered in a much more mellow palette of Peat and Navy.

It also comes with is an obscene amount of pockets, inside and out. Photographers, say hello to dedicated memory card keepers inside the jacket. Everyone else, say hello to a bevy of internal and external pockets: hand-warmer pockets, 3 distinct chest pockets. This thing literally has pockets on top of pockets. Seven external, plus 6 inside.

And for all those features, the best part about this drug-smuggler special jacket/shirt/shacked is its remarkably low-key aesthetic. The Haley Stevens waxed cotton provides a rugged and highly water resistant layer against the rain. And it just looks damn cool, too.
