Description

Classic Motorcycle Style, Updated for Today

The BILT Alder 2 Leather Jacket reimagines vintage motorcycle design with modern materials and rider-focused features. Its matte buffalo leather and subtle hand-finished detailing deliver an authentic old-school look while offering the performance and protection required for today’s roads.

Premium Buffalo Leather Construction

Built from 1.0–1.1mm matte buffalo leather, the Alder 2 offers excellent durability with a refined, worn-in appearance. The pull-up aniline look enhances the jacket’s character, allowing it to age naturally while maintaining a clean, classic aesthetic.

Comfort and Climate Versatility

Designed for changing conditions, the jacket features a moisture-wicking mesh liner to keep riders comfortable during warmer rides. A removable 80–100g thermal liner provides added insulation for cooler temperatures, making the Alder 2 suitable for multiple seasons.

Ventilation and Visibility

Perforated leather panels across the front, back, and inner arms promote airflow to regulate body temperature. A snap-back collar allows additional airflow when open, while inset reflective elements enhance rider visibility in low-light conditions.

CE-Certified Protection and Practical Features

The Alder 2 includes vented AXIAL AX1 CE Level 1 armor at the shoulders and elbows for impact protection. A dedicated pocket allows for the addition of an optional AXIAL back protector (sold separately). Finished with secure storage pockets, belt attachment straps, and durable YKK zippers, this jacket combines classic style with everyday riding practicality.
