Advice & Guides If it feels like armour in your bike kit then the law demands it is actually proper, protective armour. Here's how to tell how effective your impact protection is...
Can't argue at this price point. Fit is a little short so maybe go a size up if you're using it in all weathers. Feels good quality for the money and so far ridiculously warm...but it is the middle of summer.
Puffier than I expected, though that's not necessarily a bad thing. It does look pretty good. The orange lining doesn't look good though. I think it looks alright when you've got the jacket unzipped but when you're holding it, it looks really quite bad I'm my opinion. The zip pulls snap down so that they don't flap around which is a nice touch. Very warm, definitely not for summer riding but if the waterproofing holds up it'll be a great winter jacket. (Not had any rain to deal with yet so hopefully it performs well.) The jacket rides up your back a fair bit, would've definitely liked to have a drop seat on this. No zip to keep it attached to your trousers either so not the best there. The armour is very nice, I was very surprised at how soft and pliable it was. Only level 1 but even so, it's very nice. The back protector for this jacket is only CE level 1 which is unfortunate but it's made of the same soft pliable stuff as the elbows and shoulders. I think you definitely get what you pay for with this jacket. Decent jacket with a good look and a good price too.
This was a birthday present from my wife and I can't be happier with it the fit, is great with a little room for a jumper to go under. Its very warm and has a good level of protection. I would highly recommended it.
I'm a 50 chest so went for the 2XL , plenty of room for expansion where I have grown over the years (gut), I've worn this with just a T shirt and it's comfortable with room for a sweatshirt. Wife is going to add zips to pockets as I feel these are missing, I like the press stud flaps but they need zips, would have given 5 stars if it had zips. Did I mention the zips, hopefully Spada might take note as an improvement.
Good fit. Kept me dry in rain. Quite warm when cold, keeps the wind out.
Good to just chuck on and go. For this price almost excellent (although I haven't tested its waterproofing).
Maybe a couple of minuses;
Zip instead of poppers on the waist pockets would of been preferable, My shoulder pads keep scrunching up and as always it would of been nice to get a back protector as standard and possibly a larger weather flap on the main zip.
Positives poppers on zips so that they don't flap annoyingly, long enough sleeves for riding which don't ride up on naked bikes.
Great value jacket, comfy and warm.
Came in slightly on the smaller side so take that into consideration
As always amazing service from Sportsbikeshop with lightning fast delivery.
I'm using it now in the winter and it's doing the job. Can't complain.
I was looking for something with a decent amount of protection, but that could still be worn off the bike once I arrive at my destination.
In that sense it fits the bill nicely. I get off the bike, unzip it and it looks like a regular bomber jacket.
On the bike it's great, super comfortable, the material is very heavy duty and inspires confidence. The crash protectors are only the foam type, but that's the price you pay for a casual look.
The downside is the bright orange inside lining...if the wind catches it while it's unzipped and exposes that everyone thinks you're wearing a Poundland jacket. Looks very tacky.
It looks like a normal windbreaker despite offering good protection. Good materials and good looks. Highly recommend. The waistband of the windbreaker is slightly raised. The service from Sportsbikeshop was perfect 5 *
Just the job for the scooter living in Spain. This jacket will take me through the winter. Very pleased with the quality for a low price item. The service from this retailer is second to none.
Great jacket everything I expected. Looks good and comfy. Only a couple issues being it's only really a good jacket if it's not raining as the water gets in through the zip and where the jacket is short it came up at the back while riding, meaning you get wet and the pads can be slightly annoying as they move around a bit. Also the two front pockets pop open past 80mph so use the inside ones to be safe. Overall, the jacket is worth the money. A good purchase for a jacket throughout the year, but I recommend a different jacket for the winter period.
Very good lightweight jacket, protective padding does not restrict movement and is hardly noticeable when jacket is on. I would definitely recommend this jacket.
Normally I'm an XL but the 2XL is right with this. Comfortable and very well made and light too. I got this for the scooter and got caught in a downpour. The jacket did get soaked but after two hours of heavy rain I was still dry on the inside. Expensive but thick material will save you if you come off.
Styling wise, this jacket is great. Even without the padding removed, it still looks like a regular jacket to the casual observer. The fit seems to be fine too, I'm 6' and the Medium fits me fine, if you're looking for a slightly baggier fit, one size up would still be an acceptable size I reckon. The armour doesn't get in the way but for some reason two of the pads on the jacket I received are a lot harder than the other two, not a big deal for me as I plan on swapping it out for some D30 anyway, but just be wary if that would bother you. Waterproofing seems to work just fine, except around the elastic cuffs obviously. My only real complaint is that the Velcro on the armour pockets doesn't seem to be holding up that well but if you don't plan on taking the armour out on a regular basis that won't be a problem. All said and done, if this jacket was twice the price, I'd still be happy buying it.
Waterproof, warm, but not too bulky. Great jacket.
GREAT jacket, just wish they do bigger sizes.
And £20 cheaper than other bike stores.
First I would like to recommend Sportsbikeshop to anyone who's looking for motorcycle gear. They have a very fast efficient service, as always. Bang on the dot. Every time I order they send me notifications on what time they will deliver and they never miss a beat. Very very brilliant at time keeping !!
This jacket is also available in green. I would've liked it in navy or black but I got it in anthracite and the colour just pops! It's very comfortable and spacious. Very warm and wind proof. It was raining heavily on the day I got mine, so after I tried it on, I popped out down town. I never felt more snug. Definitely water proof. When it comes to armour, I was a bit skeptical at first because it wasn't made of foam. I think it's D3o . It's the orange coloured ones. When I put the jacket on, I had to shuffle it around until it all fell in to place. It felt cold and hard at first. I had a sore elbow from injury in the gym. So naturally it would apply extra pressure. But after it warmed up it became more comfortable and formed around my elbows nicely. Big smiles.
Thus is my first motorcycle jacket so, I won't be able to compare with any other brand. Originally I wanted the Dainese Laguna Seca. Instead, I decided on the Spada because of the price and the bomber jacket styling. Also I'm saving up for my test. I'll splash out later after I get a big bike.
I gave this a four star because when it arrived it was heavily creased due to packaging at the factory. There's a warning on the label do not iron. I would've returned it but really, I could still iron it out using very low heat setting idk. Otherwise it's a five star.
Very good quality stitching around the pockets and zips. Even around the shoulder and elbows . Pocket for back protection. The arm pocket is big enough to fit an iPhone 5 but too short for iPhone 6 ( as a frame of reference). It fits me perfectly. I don't plan to do long tours in the rain but it'll keep me dry and warm when I need it. New year 2017 begins warm and cosy for me . Thank you.
