Corazzo Postale Scooter Jacket

The Corazzo Postale Scooter Jacket also arrived late last year - sorry for not blogging then!



Again - a neat departure from previous 'bomber' style jackets from Corazzo, the Postale takes it's ques from Postal jakets of old - well tailored and with some clandestine flashes of colour and style.




The Postale features discreet visibility. Which should be a contradiction in terms!

FEATURES
• Removable CE Rated Armor in shoulders, elbows & back
• Abrasion Resistant 600 Denier nylon shell

The new 'Think! Motorcycle' Campaign features the great Armadillo Scooterwear Camovision 'night vision' scooter and motorcycle jacket.

Grip-Lock 'Bright Security' Scooter Lock - HOT CAKES!

We've just taken delivery of our first batch of 'Grip-Locks' - the nifty little Kiwi born device that instantly locks throttle to brake lever!

No twist grip - no acceleration!

These little guys provide both a visual and physical deterrent and are proving very popular amongst both scooter riders and big bike riders!

A great alternative to the ubiquitous disc lock and will probably used in conjunction with a more substantial chain and padlock - the Grip-Lock will deter and defeat all but the most determined thief.

“The Grip-Lock was first designed and made in New Zealand, in 1996 and after winning a New Zealand government industry award in 1998 is now secured by patents registered around the world.

With now over a decade of experience in the motorcycle security industry, Grip-Lock provides the only patented throttle Grip-Lock in the world. Leveraging its innovative design features and unique characteristics, the brightly coloured Grip-Lock acknowledges the vital role visibility plays in effective motorcycle security.”

Fred Perry 100th Anniversary Vespa

For it’s 100th anniversary Fred Perry has collaborated with Piaggio to create a limited run of Fred Perry Vespa scooters. The Fred Perry Clothing company has long been associated with the British Mod scene, so the Fred Perry X Vespa collaboration comes as no surprise. Looks like the scooters are going to be available in a very limited run of 100 scooters to be offered in Europe, Japan, and the USA sometime in August. We are loving the details of the Fred Perry edition Vespa, especially the cool colours - would go so well with an Armadillo Khaki Parka!

Amazing! Riding unprotected!?

We were in central London yesterday and it's an obvious thing to say but it's also the scooter capital of the UK...big wheels, small wheels, Italian scooters, Japanese scooters, Chinese scooters!

There are simply thousands of scooter riders in London, and it never fails to amaze us just how many ride unprotected!

We saw scooter riders in thin rain jackets and most in regular coats which may provide a small degree of weather protection but meet the tarmac at even 30mph and it won't be just a a cloud of feathers or filling that's all over the road.

There are so many great scooter jackets available now from Tucano Urbano, Corazzo and Armadillo Scooterwear that no-one should ride in fear of the consequences!

Check 'em out fellow scooter riders!

Tucano Urbano Summer 2009 Collection

Tucano Urbano have recently launched their Summer 2009 collection which includes some great new lightweight jackets and gloves perfect for Spring thru Autumn riding.

We particularly like the Tucano Urbano Technotrench unisex mac, there's no armour, but a great cut and a perfect jacket for on and off your bike teamed with casual or work-wear! If you're sold on the Tucano Urbano brand this is definitely one for your collection.

Other hi-lights include the Matrix Nano jackets for him and for her, along with Shorty Cotton, Shorty Cotton Lady, Rocky and Adriana.

Some say we're in for a great Summer this year (well we do deserve one don't we!) so prepare to look and stay cool out there..........as the tarmac melts! :-)

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.

Urban Scooter Rider written all over you!

One of our motos should be staying safe but looking cool, and we think there aren't too many more cool jet scooter helmets as the Urban Moto N350!

They're light (only 1056 gms), strong and really well built.

Available in about 12 colours (...still finding new ones!!) with a contrasting Urban Moto logo and a rotating anti-scratch visor with anti-fog treatment.

Plush anti-allergenic, anti-perspiration and washable lining mean they're a great fit.

We're sure there's one to match your ride, and we're sure they won't break the bank available now from Scooter-Wear.com for just £89. Grab one while you can!

Corazzo Scooter Jackets

Corazzo Scooter Jackets appeared on the scene a few years ago, but are relatively new to the UK and add some much needed colour and retro mod styling to the choice of scooter clothing available in the UK.

Whatever you ride, motorcycle or scooter, this is the perfect year-round scooter jacket.

The jackets also feature: high water resistance, reflective 3M Scotchlite™ trim for 360° degree nighttime visibility, superior venting for warm days, longer tails and arms, fleece lined collars and cuffs and extensive size ranges to suit all scooter riders sizes!

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.
