Held Zorro – Updated jacket and matching pants for the motorcycle enthusiast

For all motorcyclists who value quality, style, and safety, Held has released the updated version of its iconic Zorro jacket, now along with matching trousers. This update takes the classic Zorro design to new heights with improvements in comfort, protection, and fit – for both men and women. Here we go through all the new details and why this collection is a must for every motorcyclist who wants to be both well-dressed and safe on the roads.

Material and durability: Durable and weather-resistant

The new Zorro jacket is now made from HEROS®-TEC 600 D, a robust and durable fabric that offers improved durability compared to its predecessor, which used 450 D. This upgrade makes the jacket better equipped to handle both daily use and the tough conditions that motorcyclists often face on the roads. For extra protection, the jacket is reinforced with 300 D polyester in exposed areas such as the elbows, which not only extends the jacket's lifespan but also provides better protection in case of falls.

The matching style trousers are also made from HEROS®-TEC 600 D and have similar reinforcements in 300 D polyester at the knees, ensuring uniform protection and comfort from top to bottom.

Lining and insulation: Use year-round

The Zorro jacket features a new, improved mesh inner lining that is breathable, keeping you cool and comfortable even during long rides in warmer weather. For colder days, you can easily add or remove the removable thermal vest, a feature that makes the jacket equally functional year-round.

The same goes for the trousers – they come with a breathable mesh lining and a removable thermal lining, making them ideal for both summer and winter riding. Regardless of the weather, these garments keep you comfortable.

Sympatex® membrane: Protection against weather and wind

Held has equipped the new Zorro jacket and trousers with Sympatex® membranes, which are known for being both waterproof, windproof, and breathable. This is a significant improvement from the previous Held-Tex-Z liner and allows you to ride in rain and wind without worrying about getting wet or sweating unnecessarily.

This membrane technology ensures that your body temperature is regulated effectively while keeping water out, providing an optimal riding experience regardless of weather conditions.

Comfort and fit: Tailored for freedom of movement

Held has truly focused on comfort in this update. The jacket features stretch panels at the shoulders, elbows, and inner arm, which provide better freedom of movement while riding. With an eVest and eVest PRO-ready design, you can also easily complement your jacket with heated vests for extra comfort on cold days. For added convenience, there is also a double arm width adjustment, an adjustable waist belt, and stretch at the hips for women's sizes, allowing you to customize the jacket exactly to your body.

The trousers are equally well thought out with stretch panels at the back, knees, thighs, and calves, making them extremely flexible and comfortable while riding. Special stretch in the crotch and calf area ensures that you can move freely, which is a crucial factor for longer rides. The trousers also feature an anti-slip surface on the seat area that prevents you from sliding around in the saddle.

Practical details and technology: Pockets and ventilation

Held has not forgotten the practical aspects either. The Zorro jacket features two external pockets, two internal pockets, a document pocket, and even a back pocket so you can easily carry your essentials. Additionally, you can retrofit the SnapTech system, which allows you to attach a hood or collar for even better protection against wind and rain.

Ventilation zippers on both the jacket and pants provide good air circulation during warm days. The jacket's front zipper can also be used as an Air-Vent system (ACS), which improves airflow and makes it easier to stay cool when the temperature rises.

Safety first: D3O® protection and reflectors

The Held Zorro jacket and pants deliver the highest safety standards with certifications according to EN 17092:2020 for motorcycle clothing. They are equipped with D3O® T5 Evo protectors on the shoulders, elbows, and knees, all certified according to EN 1621-1:2012, providing maximum protection while being flexible and comfortable to wear. You can also retrofit a back protector, and there is space to install chest protection.

For extra visibility during evening and night rides, the jacket has reflective prints, making you more visible in poor light conditions.

Fit and sizes: Perfect for both women and men

Held has considered all body types in this update and offers both the jacket and pants in a wide range of sizes. The jacket is available in men's sizes from S to 5XL and in women's sizes from DS to D3XL, including short and long sizes. The pants follow the same pattern with a complete range of sizes for both men and women, including short and long variants, ensuring that everyone can find their perfect fit.

For men, the pants are available in sizes S to 5XL as well as short (K-M to K-3XL) and long sizes (L-M to L-XXL). For women, the pants are offered in sizes DS to D3XL, as well as short sizes (K-DS to K-D3XL) and long sizes (L-DS to L-DXL), giving you a tailored feel, regardless of your body shape.

Color choices

For those who appreciate a timeless and sleek look, the Zorro jacket is available in three different color combinations: all black (01), black and white (14), and black and anthracite (140). The pants come in classic black (01), making them easy to match with any jacket.
