As the colder, rainier months settle in, it’s crucial for riders to gear up with the right protection. British weather can be notoriously unpredictable, but one thing’s for sure; it’s bound to get wet!
Whether you're commuting to work or heading out for a weekend ride, staying dry and warm should be a priority. At Spada, we understand this challenge, and that’s why we’ve developed our waterproof collection, combining protection and sleek designs.
The Science Behind Waterproof MotorBike Gear
Waterproof Membrane
The core of our waterproof technology lies in a highly effective membrane layered into the fabric. This membrane is typically made from Hipora, designed to keep water out while allowing your skin to breathe. This breathability is crucial to prevent sweat build-up inside the jacket during long rides, ensuring you stay dry both from the rain and perspiration.
Sealed Seams and Zippers
One of the main points where water can seep in is through the seams and zippers. Our jackets and trousers come with fully sealed seams, preventing any leakage. We also use waterproof zippers with storm flaps that create an extra barrier, ensuring that even in heavy rain, no water gets through.
Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Coating
Our waterproof gear is treated with a DWR coating, which causes water to bead and roll off the surface of the fabric. This not only helps to keep you dry but also ensures that the outer fabric doesn’t become soaked, which can make you feel cold and heavy.
Benefits of Waterproof Motorbike Gear
Stay Dry, Stay Warm
Riding while soaked can lead to chills, discomfort, and even hypothermia in extreme cases. Our waterproof jackets and trousers are designed to insulate you from wind and rain, keeping you warm on even the wettest of rides.
Safety in the Rain
Wet weather can reduce your visibility and reaction time on the road. Our waterproof gear often includes reflective elements, ensuring you're more visible to other road users in poor weather conditions.
Comfort Over Long Rides
Breathability is key when you're in your gear for hours at a time. Our waterproof technology ensures that while rain stays out, moisture from sweat can escape, keeping you comfortable throughout your journey.
