Scooter News Corazzo Jackets Ready for a jacket this winter! The famous American Corazzo range of jackets are now available in Australia.
Allen Drysdale Mention Corazzo in the USA to a scooter rider and the response you would get would be one of style, quality as well as saftey.
Corrazzo Jackets are designed with all these things in mind. Read on...............
Corazzo Design, a Portland, Oregon based company, designs and manufactures riding apparel for people who ride in an urban environment. The garments are designed for scooterists, by scooterists.
The garments deliver abrasion protection, CE rated impact protection and increased visibility while offering an award winning style that is just as cool in the coffee shop as it is on your bike.
Corazzo use only the highest quality materials, real Cordura from DuPont, the best Scotchlite reflective material from 3M, YKK Zippers and armor from Knox, the world's leader in impact protection for two wheeled riders.
Corazzo come in various styles and colours.
Firstly the Mens and Ladies 5.0
"Award Winning" dedicated urban riding gear. The ultimate accessory for scooting, commuting and hanging out.
"Comfort, style, function and protection aren't always the easiest adjectives to string together into one product. Unless you are referring to Corazzo Design's Urban Riding Jacket." - Scooter World Magazine
Corazzo designed an urban riding jacket that would work well in and around the city, but also makes a great choice for day long country rides.
The men's jacket is designed to be worn seamlessly from your bike to the coffee shop and beyond. Made from top quality North American materials including 1000 Denier Cordura nylon, 3M Scotchlite reflective material, Corazzo delivers the very best in style, functionality and urban riding safety.
Dual density armor comes stock with the jacket, as well, you can up-fit your jacket to the CE approved Knox armor.
Then the Bomber Jacket again available in both Men's and Ladies
The Corazzo Bomber Flight Jacket is perhaps the most "lifestyling" piece Corazzo has ever made. It is very comfortable and the armor is well hidden, making you look like a smart, fashionable person in the coffee shop while protecting you with CE rated Knox armor, and modern materials while out scooting about.
Constructed of a heavy duty flight jacket outershell, with hidden cordura panels inside the elbows and the back, the jacket has YKK zippers including a big honking brass zipper for the center front.
Nice details include the quilted lining, armpit vents for warmer days and beautiful embroidered Corazzo Shield on the arm pocket (perfect for cellphones, iPods etc..). The jacket also has two regular pockets, soft flexible ribbing around the waist and neck, and Scotchlite reflective on the chest and back.
And last of all the Men's and Women's Hoody.
The Corazzo Riding Hoody is constructed of cutting edge technical fabrics and is prepared for Corazzo's three part test of Visibility, Impact protection and Abrasion Protection.
We knew when we were in our development stages for this garment, that they were going to be popular. Every single model, designer and vendor that has seen the garment has bought one.
The Women's version is specially cut for the ladies with a slimming waist and flare for hips, very sexy and very functional!
The hoodies are constructed of a technical fabric called PacTec, a totally unique 4 way stretch waterproof breathable fabric that is composed of a triple laminate nylon outershell/waterproof membrane/fleece inner lining.
Overlayed the arms, is 500 denier cordura for abrasion proctection. The removeable CE approved armor in the shoulders and elbows is comforting in the face of daily urban assaults on your scooter.
Each jacket has over 12 feet of 3M scotchlite reflective piping for visibility night or day. The jacket was designed to provide not just a strip of reflective, but to create a sillouhette that will allow drivers to scale their judgement of distance in relation to the scooter more easily than with the small taillight on most scooters.
Pit zips allow for cooling on a hot day, though the waterproof fabric is way more breathable that that "#$*%-tex".
Super comfy, super cool and quite a functional garment.
