The LS2 Narvik is built for touring and long distances through changing weather, and it's the only jacket in LS2's range on this site certified to CE Class AA rather than Class A, a genuinely higher abrasion and impact standard.
The shell combines 600D Oxford, 450D Oxford and ripstop fabric, backed by a fixed water-resistant and breathable membrane rated to 8000mm H2O with a breathability rating of 5000g/m2/24h, well ahead of the Sepang's 5000mm rating. A removable thermal liner handles cold mornings and winter riding.
Protection is removable CE SAFE TECH certified shoulder and elbow armour, both EN1621-1:2012 Level 2, adjustable between two elbow positions, compatible with LS2's 851 back protector and an optional CE chest protector, both sold separately. The jacket is CE certified Class AA (EN17092-3:2020).
Touring-specific details: a front ventilation zip and button-closure ventilation panels alongside double rear ventilation, two large waterproof hand pockets plus a waterproof back pocket, a two-way zip for a large sleeve opening, an inner phone pocket, and a zip connection ready for LS2 riding pants. Arm and waist adjustment, a neoprene comfort collar, and reflective strips round it out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What does CE Class AA actually mean compared to Class A?
A1: It's a higher abrasion and impact standard, generally aimed at higher-speed and touring use where a crash is more likely to involve a longer slide. Every other jacket in this LS2 range is Class A, the Narvik is the one built to the higher standard.
Q2: Can this handle a full day of riding in the rain?
A2: Yes, the 8000mm waterproof rating with a fixed membrane is built for sustained rain, well ahead of the Sepang's 5000mm rating, which is more for occasional showers than a full wet day.
Q3: Does it connect to riding pants?
A3: Yes, it's zip-ready to connect with compatible LS2 riding pants, useful if you want a sealed connection at the waist for touring.
Q4: How do I read the size chart?
A4: Match your height and chest measurement in inches against the table on this page rather than your regular clothing size.
Q5: Does this come in a women's fit?
A5: Yes, as a separate product, the LS2 Narvik Lady Jacket, built on its own women's size chart rather than this men's chart in a smaller size.
