WHATZ NEW

COOL-RIDING MOTODRY JACKET

Motodry’s Rapid is a protective, mesh-ventilated and armoured jacket which is designed for Aussie summers. With more rain falling in the summer months for many parts of Australia, we need full waterproofing, so the Rapid comes with a 100 per cent waterproof zip-out lining, which will also be handy if there’s a drop in the temperature when you’re out for a ride.

In the heat the Rapid’s Max Flow panels on the inside of the arms, chest, belly and back all work together to keep the air flowing through to wick away the sweat. If something goes wrong there’s TPR hard shoulder outer protection and full CE-approved armour, with 1680 Denier Super Abrasion Resistant material in protection areas.

Other features include gusseted rear shoulders (for comfort), adjustable waist belt, arm straps and night safety reflective strips.
