Armadillo Scarlett Mac Review

Armadillo Scarlett Mac: One of our most popular jackets and proving irresistible as we emerge from the depths of winter.

Bright and stylish - there are plenty of similar red mac's available on the high street but none with the ability to keep the elements out and provide a good degree to protection to the urban scooter rider.

The d3o™ intelligent shock absorption is discreet and pliable, so - while you can remove the elbow and shoulder protection, there's no real need, making Armadillo's Scarlett Mac eminently wearable on or off your ride, and great value not having to swap between two jackets for protection and style!

The Mac is 10,000mm waterproof, 6,000mm breathable and windproof with cuff mittens for chilly mornings, an MP3 pocket and headphone loops plus an internal comms pocket.

Overall - we're not surprised Armadillo's Scarlett Mac is so popular: superior contemporary styling plus fun functionality make this scooter jacket one of the best choices for Spring through Autumn riding.

We're off to stock up!

Tucano Urbano Bora Review

Tucano Urbano Bora: What can we say - our best selling jacket, closely followed by Parka Lady T and Urbana Lady T.

Tucano Urbano's Bora is very similar to the men's Libeccio with it's military styling but cut for the female form.

Gents - it's proven: we're boring! While black if pretty popular in the Bora, the fairer sex seem comfortable with some more colour in their scootering life. The Bora also comes in green, red and sand!

Again a jacket for all seasons, with removable winter padding and ready bike/street wearability!

Good choice ladies!

Tucano Urbano Libeccio Review

Tucano Urbano Libeccio: We could review something we have gathering dust on the shelves with a view to shifting it, but we don't have anything like that, so thought it appropriate to review some of our most popular items - after all there must be good reason for folk to keep coming back for more!

Tucano Urbano's Libeccio Scooter Jacket is our best selling men's scooter jacket, closely followed by the Urbis T and Parka T. The Libeccio is truly a jacket for all seasons and is eminently wearable on or off your ride.

The Libeccio comes with full CE approved shoulder and elbow protection plus back protective padding - it's all removeable, so if you've covered your bike up for a couple of weeks, just whip the armour out and it's good for the pub, the high street or that weeekend away! Oh, and the outer shell is fully breathable and waterproof, with a hood tucked into the collar for added protection.

About 50% of the Libeccio's we supply are black, but don't discount the other colours, they're smart and colourful without being garish - there's black, green, red, sand and blue.

Overall - we're seriously impressed with the Libeccio - it's quickly become 'the' requisite scooter clothing, with it's military styling and slightly fitted shape, this one should be back year after year.

Tucano Urbano Termoscud Leg Cover Review

Tucano Urbano's Termoscud Leg Covers have become the industry standard. They're well made, smart and robust. This was the first product Tucano Urbano developed and their success has been built upon it's popularity.

Hello chilly scooter riders - given the prolonged cold spell we thought we'd review probably the best scooter leg covers on the market.

The Termoscud comes in '79' variants to accommodate the huge diversity of scooters on the market.

Some leg covers feature the Thermal Control System which recycles hot air from the radiator outlets - keeping you nice and toasty (we've got one of these on a Vespa GTS - and it's fantastic!). When it's a little warmer you can open vents to let the hot air through to stop you overheating! Mail us and we'll let you know which leg covers feature this (predominantly Vespa GT/GTS/GTV/200L/250).

All the stitching and logos are high visibility, and the outer shell of the leg cover is made from a heavy nylon and is waterproof. The interior is lined keeping you snug and the seams are taped to prevent water ingress. All leg covers come with the patented SGAS system which inflates chambers on the sides to eliminate flapping at speed. Other features include built-in saddle cover and a waterproof pocket.

Termoscud also comes in some pretty funky colours with the introduction of two designs by the iconic Ken Scott.

We've been impressed with these for quite some time, we know you will be too, mail or call if you're unsure about which model to choose - you'll wonder how you coped without one!

Scooter-Wear.com stock the full range of Tucano Urbano Termoscud Leg Covers and are current offering a free Serpe Scratchproof KeyRing worth £7.50 with every leg cover.

Armadillo Scooterwear Camovision Review

Hi fellow scooter lovers

We have the luxury of being able to try on and try out any of the scooter clothing we market, so we aim to bring you honest and comprehensive reviews of some of our best sellers so you can make an informed purchase from scooter-wear.com.

A few of our staff have plumped for the Armadillo Scooterwear Camovision such is the jacket's appeal. It's quite funny watching 3 guys wizz off in matching scooter jackets....at least they're not matching fluorescent ski jackets...these really are pretty cool!

The guys at Armadillo really have put a lot of thought into the design and manufacture: the jackets are 'mid length' in that they are not blouson/waist length but can be drawn up to sit nicely without chilly gaps. CE rated d3o™ intelligent shock absorption has been used for the elbow and shoulder protection - these are really comfortable and unobtrusive, but when impacted at high speeds d3o™ displays excellent shock absorption as the Intelligent Molecules inside lock together, spreading the force over the whole pad.

The jackets provide a pretty good level of waterproofing and breathability and have a few nifty additions such as a detachable winter liner and MP3 pocket with headphone loops, plus the design is partly reflective meaning you're so much safer riding at night. (If you want something a little more sober - go for the Armadillo Scooterwear City Rider - same jacket in black!)

Overall: we're seriously impressed with the quality, detail, protection and value that Armadillo Scooterwear Camovision affords you. It's available now from scooter-wear.com for £145 including free UK delivery, free Peter Moore book and discounted scooter hire voucher.
