Looking for the best motorcycle leather jacket under 500 EUR

My requirements:

  • High quality leather
  • Price under 500 EUR
  • Popular brand
  • Looks great
  • Practical for everyday use
  • Possibility to add leather pants for track days
  • CE Level 2 armors in shoulders, elbows and possibility to add back armor

In 2019 I passed motorcyle exams and got motorcyle driving licence. Prior that I didn't have any motorcyle related expierence so I didn't know much about gear. As a budget for gear was limited, I found a good deal on used Rebelhorn Hiflow III textile two piece suit size S. It was a little bit baggy, I wished it would be more thigther but it was a good deal price wise. After some time I bought a biker jeans because Rebelhorn pants was to baggy and looked like a snowboarede pants. So the most of days I weared Rebelhorn Hiflow III Jacket and Modeka jeans. Now I am looking to upgrade it to more safer, stylisher leather jacket and pants.

Below is a list of all the jackets I looked at.
