Spidi Tank Jacket If you live in the northern hemisphere, chances are it?s still a little cold for riding. But Spidi has you covered with its latest jacket design: the $650 military-style ?Tank.? It?s inspired by the jackets worn by tank crews in World War II, and has knitted openings at the neck, cuffs and hem. The chassis is one-millimeter Italian cowhide, and there?s a soft felt liner that you can take out if you start to feel hot under the collar. You also get CE-certified Forcetech shoulder and elbow protectors as standard, clips for attaching to your pants, and there?s a pocket for adding a back protector too. [Buy]
