Nice Jacket, I saw these last year, but it took a while to get an XL one aa they were very popular and out of stock until Jan 2025
It's not difficult to see why they are popular either, very well made, lovely quality, fits me like a glove, (unlike others out there of a similar type that are baggy, with cords and straps on the sleeves etc to try to make them fit) and there are a lot of pockets for all those bits and bobs, (keys, phone, wallet, handkerchief, penknife, pen, bits of paper, cash,,,,,, make your own clutter up now, we all have our odds n sods we carry) that you need to tuck away on a hot summers day ride.
The only downside or criticism I have and this applies to many jackets across the board, is the uncomfortable body armour, even though it is quite soft, it is still too strong and inflexible for a lightweight jacket such as this, I grew up riding motorcycles wearing a leather jacket, blue jeans and engineer boots, and am not convinced of soft armours worth anyway, so I have removed it all for comfort purposes, (I'm too old to thrash around over a ton these days and IMHO, comfort overweighs body armour every time)
All in, except for the body armour stuff, (which knocks a point off my marking) 9 out of 10, well done Spada! :)
