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!

The gussets are refelective and other features include classic waist cinch buckles, a zip out liner, 600 denier abrasion resistant fabric, waterproof construction and armor.




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

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! :-)

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.
