Where to find jackets similar to those used by the NSW MotorcyclePolice?

I am looking for a warm high-visibility motorcycle jacket, similar to
those used by the NSW Motorcycle Police.

Although I have not had a really close look, they appear to be a
reinforced bright green/yellow jacket, with a warm lining.

Are you also after a white helmet and BMW with red-and-blue lights to
go with it? ;-)


BTH

 

A shit leather jacket made from pig skin, that the firies rejected.

or if you want something fluro yellow, go to a workware shop..

 

Errr, I do believe it was being pointed out that you contemplate asking the
NSW Motorcycle Police.

Either that, or next time I bump into my ambo mate, I'll ask where he got
his.

They're made by Tiger Angel (or atleast the Vic Police ones are). I was in
the shop at the time when a copper came in and picked his up.

I imagine they are very closely (if not exactly) based on the Element
Jacket. This is a Goretex Jacket with inner lining as well. I know the
version I saw the copper pick up had a polar fleece type liner, rather
toasty for those frosty Melb mornings.

I love talking to myself ..

So I'll tell myself I should have also told you the standard jacket retails
at $599 and can be seen at www.tigerangel.com.au

 

Not really
Although, I did once test ride an ex-police K1200RS, in my normal riding
gear, ie black jacket and multi-coloured helmet, and it was amazing how
much more room and "respect" I got, compared to normal.

They are probably very un-cool. But they are waterproof, warm, and
highly visible.

I usually try to avoid the NSW Motorcycle Police, but, yes I suppose
that is one option.

That would be good. Thanks.

 

Really?

It is highly unlikely the NSW Police are going to sell a non-member one of
their jackets, so, it will be therefore "similar".

My ambo mate has one that is similar, so both my points are valid.

Was that with the lights on or off?

I don't think firies want jackets made from pigskin. They smell terrible
when they burn.

The lights, sirens etc had been removed, sadly

This is the bike, FWIW
