Product Information
We have not come across a jacket quite like the Spidi Gamma jacket before, which is why we have decided to add it to our range. It is very much an urban jacket, designed for the rider commuting in the city, for the scooterist perhaps, or for the rider who is riding a short distance from home to the station, for example. This is not the kind of jacket you buy for speeding down the motorway at 80 mph. There are quite a few jackets that are designed for urban commuting, but very few of them are laminated like the Gamma. A laminated garment is one where the membrane is bonded to the outer fabric. Water cannot pass through the fabric, meaning that the jacket in this case, won't get wet and heavy. It won't 'wet out' as we call it. It means the wearer stays drier for longer. It also means that, because the jacket doesn't hold the water, the wearer will stay warmer. For some, the most important consideration is that, after a downpour, a laminated product will dry out inside an hour or so. Most urban, commuting jackets have what we call a 'drop liner' waterproof membrane that hangs independently inside the outer fabric. When it rains hard, such garments get soaking wet, making the rider feel cold. They also take ages to dry out. The Gamma's external fabric is a high-tenacity Poly-Nylon material that is sufficiently abrasion resistant for urban riding. The jacket comes with a removable, thermal liner, adjusters for fit, reflective panels, and armour in the shoulders and elbows. There's a pocket for a back protector. Now the Gamma is an outstanding bit of kit. It will do its job brilliantly. But it is not for everybody. It is a very superior waterproof top. It is not for long distance commuting or touring.Specification
