| Spada Starter Kit |
The Spada jacket is a basic waterproof jacket. It is really comfortable to wear. It comes in two different models: a short one and a three quarters length one. You can find all the protection you need: CE approved elbow and shoulder protectors, foam padding back protector that you could remove if you want to and hi-visibility panels. You can upgrade the jacket with a CE back protector. You have a double zipper at the front, so that you can ride with your jacket open on really hot days for a maximum of ventilation!
The gloves are from the same brand. They are made of a mix of textile and leather. They are winter gloves, really thick, well insulated and waterproof. The palm is reinforced with the leather layer on both hands. The extra feature that might convince you about these gloves is the visor wipe on the left thumb! So useful! In this deal you also get a Spada RP700 helmet. This is a good basic helmet that will do a great job of protecting your head. It has a pretty good ventilation system at the front (lower and upper ventilation) and fastens with a double D-ring.
The total bill for this complete outfit is only £139.99.
