Default Re: Spada Milan 2 piece

i have the milan trousers and anzio jacket, definately more comfortable than the milan jacket, soft cuffs and neck. without that much experience and not having crashed them i can't really comment, but i do remember reading an article where the testers found that yes, they aren't as effective as top shelf leathers but for the money they are excellent value and more than up to the job of general road riding.

mine seem to work ok, trousers are nice and cool, jacket not so much so. only downside is that the back protector in the jacket is a bit pathetic, even compared to my weiss textile jacket, just a bit of soft foam about 6mm thick, protects from a low speed fist but i doubt it would protect from a high speed titan kerb.

by chance, not design, i've ended up with all spada gear save for lid and boots, and haven't got any complaints to make so far after 1k miles or so.
