Doug Ritter Leather FlameGaurd A2 Leather Bomber Jacket
Doug Ritter and Aeromedix have teamed up again with an industry leader to create another one of a kind. We have teamed up with Perrone Leather to create an updated version of the Leather A2 Bomber with FlameGaurd. (No, that's not a typo, that's the way the trademark FlameGaurd™ is spelled)
Finally, a classic bomber jacket with safety features utilizing today’s technology. The Flamegaurd™ A2 features the technological advances of FAA burn-certified leather and Nomex® to bring you the protection you’ve been waiting for.
The Doug Ritter FlameGaurd™ Leather Flight Jacket has four useful interior pockets. We turned around those gun pockets so they open at the top and have a brass snap closure for security. While still trimmed in leather, the interior of the pocket is Nomex for less bulk.
Doug redesigned the wallet pocket to make the entry less bulky and added a zipper for security. Then he added a matching pocket on the other side as well.
Now, there's plenty of secure storage with four interior pockets and the two outside snap flap patch pockets over the hand warmer pockets, eight pockets total.
Those hand warmer pockets are great in inclement weather. Anyone who has worn the typical current mil-spec Nomex jacket or an original WWII design A2 knows what a pain it is not to have those hand warmer pockets. These are practical and large enough to use even wearing pilot's Nomex gloves.
Doug also added a brass snap at the waistband so that it's quick and easy just to close the jacket down there for a little more warmth or to keep it from flapping open without having to hook up and start zipping up the zipper.
The lining of the Doug Ritter FlameGaurd™ Leather Flight Jacket is black Nomex . My original sample came with the bright orange lining and I loved it, but most of my friends and associates who saw it weren't nearly so excited about the orange. I can take a hint, so we decided to do it in black.
Each Doug Ritter FlameGaurd™ Leather Flight Jacket is hand crafted to order by Perrone here in the U.S.A. The FlameGaurd™ leather is tested to comply with FAA-FAR 25.853(aii) and it comes with four Flammability Certificates of Authenticity. It's available is sizes 36 - 56 Regular and Long. Custom sizing is available for an extra charge, contact Aeromedix.com for details.
Whether you are driving or flying, the Doug Ritter FlameGaurd™ Leather Flight Jacket provides you an extra measure of protection in an emergency, a jacket that could save your life™, while looking great at the same time! If you like to wear a leather flight jacket, why wouldn't you want the safety advantages this technologically advanced jacket offers? Even with all the practical detail changes we've made to make it even better, you'll only pay a $25 premium over the cost of the standard Perrone FlameGaurd™ A2.
