Please Note: this French made XXL fits like an American XL! Made in France. Supple, silky-feeling leather. It felt broken-in right out of the box, and got even better over time. It just looks and feels great.
Although the Fighter jacket is biased more towards street style than motorcycle racing, it does carry the Furygan race heritage, as do all of their products.
The leather used for the "Fighter" jacket is 1.3 mm to 1.4 mm full grain cowhide. It’s dyed and waterproofed with a proprietary formula that impregnates the material, and it’s all done right at the Furygan family-owned factory. Grading, cutting, processing and manufacturing leather all under one roof. Old-World craftsmanship can still be found.
The Fighter jacket comes with removable CE-approved elbow and shoulder armor. Also included is the SAS-Tech CE-approved Level 2 back protector and is also a very interesting piece. The foam is relatively soft and squishy if it’s squeezed slowly between the thumb and forefinger. But hit or squeeze it fast and it instantly stiffens, just like magic. The back protector will actually bend over like a wet noodle if it’s held at one end, but it comes right back into shape as soon as it’s moved. It’s one of the most comfortable back protectors ever experienced.
The Furygan Fighter comes with a zip-in quilted liner.
The fit is just like it should be; snug, with sleeves long enough to cover outstretched arms. The jacket is belt length, and it has an attachment zipper that fits Furygan pants. See photos for fit specifications.
This Fighter jacket has two waist hand pockets with zippers and cool-looking leather zipper pulls with the Furygan panther logo. It also has two horizontal zippered pockets on the upper chest, outlined in red leather; and two inner vertical zippered pockets, one on either side inside the placket.
The sleeves have a zipper and snap at the cuff; no Velcro here.
I purchased this jacket new in 2007. Furygan no longer makes this style jacket and it's rare in the US.
