Harley-Davidson Men's Willie G Skull Riding Chore Jacket - CE Certified D3O Armour

The Harley-Davidson Men's Willie G Skull Riding Chore Jacket is a CE-certified motorcycle jacket built from heavyweight twill blend with D3O Ghost armour at the shoulders and elbows, a back armour pocket for optional spine protection, and 3M Scotchlite reflective material for visibility. It's certified to EN 17092-4:2020 - the European standard for motorcycle protective clothing - and tested to meet abrasion, tear, and seam strength requirements. The embroidered Willie G Skull on the front and back means it looks like an H-D jacket; the CE certification and D3O armour mean it performs like a proper piece of motorcycle PPE.

CE certification to EN 17092-4:2020 - what it means: EN 17092 is the European standard for motorcycle protective clothing, and Class A (EN 17092-4) is the standard for garments intended for general motorcycle use - tested for abrasion resistance, tear strength, and seam strength at the areas most likely to make contact with the road in a fall. A jacket certified to EN 17092-4:2020 has been independently tested and confirmed to meet these requirements - it's not a marketing claim, it's a verified safety standard. For a jacket that's going to be worn while riding, CE certification to this standard is the specification that confirms it's genuine protective clothing rather than a styled jacket that happens to have armour pockets.

D3O Ghost armour - the impact protection explained: The jacket includes EN 1621-1 certified D3O Ghost armour at the shoulders (98104-22VR) and elbows (98103-22VR) - D3O is one of the most respected armour manufacturers in the motorcycle industry, and the Ghost designation refers to their low-profile, flexible armour that moves with the body rather than sitting rigid against it. D3O armour is soft and flexible in normal use but stiffens on impact to absorb and distribute the force - the Ghost version is thinner than standard D3O, making it less noticeable under the jacket while maintaining the EN 1621-1 impact protection certification. The back body armour pocket is compatible with the EN 1621-2 certified D3O Viper Air back protector (98317-25VR, sold separately) - a meaningful upgrade for riders who want full torso protection.

3M Scotchlite reflective material: The 3M Scotchlite reflective detail increases the rider's visibility to other road users in low-light conditions - headlights, street lighting, and dawn/dusk riding all benefit from retroreflective material that returns light directly to its source. Scotchlite is the industry benchmark for retroreflective material and is used across professional safety and motorcycle apparel for its reliability and durability through washing and wear.

Hidden snap-down collar - the riding-specific detail: The hidden snap-down collar keeps the collar flat against the jacket when riding, preventing it from lifting and flapping at speed. The snap is concealed so it doesn't affect the appearance of the collar when worn open - it's a practical detail that's invisible when you don't need it and essential when you do. The same design principle appears across the H-D riding apparel range as a consistent marker of garments designed with the bike in mind.

Pre-curved sleeves: The pre-curved sleeve construction shapes the sleeve to the natural bent-arm position of a rider on the bike, reducing fabric pull and bunching at the elbow when in the riding position. On a jacket worn for hours at a time, the difference between a straight-cut sleeve and a pre-curved one is meaningful for comfort and freedom of movement.

Pocket specification - more than most jackets: The Willie G Skull Riding Chore Jacket has seven pockets in total: snap flap chest pocket, patch chest pocket with zipper, two front hand-warmer pockets (with a hidden zipper pocket inside the right one), one interior zipper pocket, and one interior stash pocket. For a riding jacket that needs to carry phone, wallet, keys, and documents securely, the pocket specification is comprehensive - and the zipper and snap closures on the exterior pockets mean nothing is lost on the move.

Embroidered Willie G Skull - front and back: The direct embroidery on the Willie G Skull graphic gives it a quality and durability that a printed graphic can't match - embroidery is stitched into the fabric rather than applied to the surface, so it won't crack, peel, or fade with washing and wear. The skull on the front and the full-back graphic together make the Willie G Skull Riding Chore Jacket the most graphic-forward piece in the H-D riding jacket range.

Willie G. Davidson - the designer behind the skull: Willie G. Davidson served as Harley-Davidson's VP of Styling for nearly five decades, designing the 1971 FX Super Glide - the first factory custom motorcycle - and the 1977 FXS Low Rider, among other landmark models. The Willie G Skull is his most celebrated graphic creation and one of the most recognised images in motorcycle culture.
