Spidi 4Season Lady Jacket and Pants
The 4Season jacket and pants from Spidi add up to a very attractive suit. Quilted snap-in liner can be worn independently of the jacket.
As adventure/touring riders, we demand a lot of our apparel: it must be versatile, functional, comfortable and protective. Good looks are a bonus, but I’ve found those go hand-in-hand with proper fit, something women’s gear doesn?t always deliver.
Spidi’s 4Season jacket and pants combo, however, checks all of the boxes. The shells of each are made of a special high-tensile strength polyamide (nylon) and polyester that’s soft and flexible enough to be comfortable right out of the box.
Rather than a bonded (single layer) waterproofing or an additional nonremovable rain layer, the 4Season uses a removable H2Out waterproof liner. There are pros and cons to each system, but living in dry Southern California I prefer a removable liner. Non-waterproof shells seem to vent more effectively than those with bonded waterproofing (and certainly better than those with a fixed inner liner) and they don’t rely on fussy waterproof zippers.
Into a box in the garage goes the liner, and when it looks like things will get wet I just carry a rain suit. The jacket also incorporates a snap-in quilted jacket with 100g polyfill that can be worn independently when off the bike (see inset photo below). One less thing to pack!
Ventilation on both jacket and pants is plentiful. Panels at the chest, back and thighs unzip and tuck or snap aw...
