To keep the rider cool, Spidi employs two approaches. First, and most obvious - are the rows of die-cut perforated leather. Depending on their location, these perforations can be very dense with smaller holes or very sparse with larger holes. This is also done in the interest of safety since more holes means there’s less material to keep the leather together in a sliding type crash.
The front of each Spidi T-2 Wind Pro suit is highly perforated.
The second method Spidi uses to cool the rider comes in the form of a full-length mesh liner. This liner keeps the leather away from the wearer, allowing air to pass through and around the body. It’s also extremely useful at keeping the leather itself from sticking to the skin.
Further enhancing the suit’s ability to keep the rider cool, a pair of intakes have been installed in front of each shoulder where a great deal of air can be expected to enter while the rider is in a full tuck.
CE-certified impact armor is employed in the shoulders, elbows/forearms, knees
and hips to reduce the chance of injury in a fall. In particular, the knee protectors can be moved up or down for a perfect fit over the wearer.
To facilitate the use of
Spidi’s Warrior Chest Protector, a separate pocket has been sewn into the front of the suit. This negates any need for straps to hold it in place. We also found it useful for other popular brands of chest protectors like those from Alpinestars or Forcefield Armour.
The back hump is an aspect that the style-conscious rider will truly appreciate. Spidi uses what is simply the largest aerodynamic hump we’ve ever seen on a production leather suit. But the larger size denotes a special use not found on other one-piece leather suits …
The hollowed-out aero hump is Spidi Hydroback-ready, allowing the rider to carry 70mL of fluid with him that’s readily available via a straw that fits neatly onto the collar.
