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...
Great jacket, the fit is very good, sizing is spot on. Comfortable to wear, a great addition for short summer rides. Level 2 protection in elbow and shoulders, I added a level 2 back protector, it fills the space for it, but I notice the back protector does sit quite high.
Reflective detail high on the back is a great feature, sounds like not much, but it all adds to safety which in my book has to be good!
I'm not used to riding with anything other than full Textile/Leather bike gear, so wearing this feels a little wrong, but it's just something I need to get used to.
I definitely recommend this if you're in the market for something casual but still protective.
Overall great value for money, especially in the SBS sale.
Great jacket. Well made and comfortable to wear. Was warm in the cool days and comfortable off the bike as well.
Very comfortable and the sleeves are long enough with close cuffs that stop the draughts. For level 2 protection all round I think this is excellent. I can see this being my go to over the summer with jeans, summer gloves and casual style boots.
This Spada hoodie is a great inbetween season garment, great for those dry spring days where I want something a little warmer than my full on summer gear but not so full on as my winter waterproof jacket.
It looks good too, you could
mistake it for an everyday hoodie.
The only improvement I could ask for is a drawing in the hood but maybe I'm just being a little picky!
Overall I would recommend the Spada Gumball hoodie to anyone who may be thinking about buying one, the body armour is outstanding whilst being comfortable.
Very comfortable. Very protective. I feel very safe wearing it. Also has a Velcro attachment for the little green flag so you can put anything you want on there essentially making it customisable as well.
Well armoured hoodie, removable spada logo on the arm. Looks like a plain black hoodie with slightly bulky shoulders being the only real giveaway it's not just a normal jumper.
The lining is a bit scratchy in a tshirt but gladly put up with that for the aa CE rating. A bargain at sale pricing.
I have wanted a hoodie for a while and decided to buy this in the sale based on other review.
The fit is good, I am an XL in most clothes and this fits slightly on the snug side which you want for protective clothing to keep the armour in place.
The quality seems good but time with tell.
I have had it on twice now once on my sports bike and once on my adventure bike. The wind is not noticeable until around 60mph when it does get through the zip a little. This was in 4 degrees overcast weather and I didn't feel cold.
Excellent hoodie. Comfortable, keeps me warm even at 10°C. Not used it in the summer yet but I reckon it'll be good until the 25°C or so. It does not look like you are wearing bike gear at all.
