Hi Matteo,

Those are great close ups and well done on showing the details of your equipment, you should get some of the detailed explanations of how the venting and other features of your jackets onto your main website / product descriptions.

thanks.

MightyClown,

thank you very much for your suggestion. I know my colleagues from web dept here in Italy are working hard every day to improve it.
I'll push them to make all these information clearer and images more visible.

Any doubt you should have please don't hesitate to ask me.


Thanks again for your interest

...but no input on the question (best textile abrasion protection)?

MZ5, sorry for misunderstanding your question.
The best fabric for abrasion resistance is the one equipping Ergo 365 Pro .


This is a Polyammide 3-layesr fabric (External polyammide + H2Out membrane + internal side fabric). This is resulting with a EN 13595-1 Certification at level 2: to pass this omologation, the fabric must resist severe tests (cutting , abrasion and strength resistance).

I believe there's no comparable results in the market at the moment.

Matteo,
Why do you call your Multitech product "armor" rather than "jacket"? Does it imply that it is not a full featured jacket? Does it have pockets? Is its shell made out of a abrasion resistant material?

Dear genka,

Spidi Multitech Armor is not a typical jacket indeed.
The main difference between Multitech Armour and a normal jacket is that the fit is quite tight (so possible to wear under an external shield, as by itself) and the arms are attached to the body just on the upper part; in this way the shoulder area is extremely ventilated and is completely open in the bottom part.
As you can see from the images at this link, it features 3 generous pockets on the front, plus a big one on the bottom back.
It comes wit 6 CE certified protectors.

Thanks again for your interest

But, those detachable pockets and backside map pocket are enough for me not to consider Ergo suit. That is a very strange and unnecessary solution.


Cheers.

Hi Balkan,

thanks a lot for your suggestion about Ergo 365 Pro Suit.
As you know, the suit and the pants have removable pockets (6) that you can combine in different ways.
If you prefer not to have them on the suit, you can storage them, the suit is working very good even without them.
Indeed, when all these pockets are removed, the suit still has 6 pockets; so you can just ride without the removable ones.

Hi dadsfrantic,

thank you for choosing Spidi Marathon.
You have 2 options to equip the jacket with Spidi back protector:
>Option 1: CE level 1 back protector: http://www.spidi.com/eu/eu_en/motorc...rior-back.html
>Option 2: CE level 2 back protector: http://www.spidi.com/eu/eu_en/motorc...r-evo-ins.html

If you want maximum protection from your jacket, don't forget to add chest protector: sternum area is very delicate and important to protect against frontal crash. Here's chest protector fitting Spidi Marathon jacket: http://www.spidi.com/eu/eu_en/motorc...ior-chest.html

You can find these items both at Revzilla or Motorcyclesuperstore

Still cannot find the Thermo Liner - any help?

[bone13]

I have own 2 Spidi jackets. One of the original Net jackets Spidi made, and one of the Original H2Out Jackets
They have been the best fitting and most comfortable jackets I've owned in 26 years of street riding.

My Spidi H2Out 3/4 length jacket I bought about 8 or 9 years ago. I've ridden well over 50,000 miles in it and it's still my favorite all season jacket. That is saying a lot too, as I am a gear junkie and owned A LOT of jackets.
Sadly after many years and miles of abuse the weatherproof liner is starting to delaminate, allowing some leakage when riding in the rain. I realize this is an older jacket, but is there any possibility of getting a replacement liner for it? I hate to give it up, as the rest of it is holding up fantastically, and over the years and miles it has become like an old friend to me.

Thanks!
