Default Spada Milan 2 piece

Does anybody have any comments on either Spada gear in general or, better still, the Spada Milan 2 piece suit.

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.

Cheres for that TLW. BTW, are you getting out kiting much or is the bike taking all the nice weather. It was May in Newquay when I was last out in the buggy.

i was in coche from 24th feb to 10th march, only been out once since, and even that was just for about 5 minutes in a gusty 40knts or so - but hopefully now i've passed the test and got the first service out the way i can rekindle the passion somewhat

not milan gear unfortunately and none of the suits do that well, but they're all a lot better than jacket + jeans at the bottom...
