Spada Ladies Hairpin CE Textile Jacket - Red

Bought this jacket for my wife to ride pillion as she didn't want to have a dark colour or leathers. Got a size larger (12) and it is a snug, but good, fit. Lots of adjustment and a good length. It's also not too heavy for her slight frame. The quality of finish is really good and great value for money. I'm on the lookout for something similar as a summer jacket. Just need to get a back protector for it.

Positives;

Lightweight but feels sturdy
Can easy be worn once off bike
Coated zip for extra wind/rain protection
Zips at hips give more space and Velcro to pull in waist for more hourglass shape.
Longer jacket which covers half my bum.
Nice longer arms which is a bonus for me.
Nice bright colour for daytime riding.

Negatives;

No form of cuff ie velcro or elastic so wind goes right up if your not careful (can be a benefit if too hot)
No inside pockets for phone etc

This jacket arrived very quickly. Great quality. As a lady with larger hips, I found the zipped sides were perfect to give that little bit extra room. I would say this jacket is more of a summer weight which was perfect for what I wanted it for. I would suggest going up a size to allow for layers of clothing underneath. All in all a really lovely jacket

Would love to rate this jacket as excellent but only one thing stopped me. The sizing. I'm usually a 10 - 12 but ordered a 16 thinking I could wear a jumper under it. However I can only just do it up ! Other than that the jacket is very comfortable and has good protection built in. It's shower proof as I've been caught a couple of times but can't comment if it's fully waterproof as I've not been out in the rain enough yet. Overall I highly recommend this jacket.

Purchased a few days ago, worn for good few hours. Jacket is well made and comfortable to wear. Lovely fit and good quality fabric thats reasonably soft to the touch. Shoulder and elbow protection feels good without being too bulky. Back protector could be swapped for something bit more substantial if required. Only downside is no inside pockets just 2 front pockets and if you have largish phone it's bit of a squeeze which led to feeling bit uncomfortable as phone was sticking in my rubs, not a major issue though? Not tested in wet weather yet but zips are well covered so as long as no heavy downpours it should hold up on shortish trips in light rain hopefully.

Very comfortable jacket, go a size up
