Three layer jacket. RE-INVENTED.
25 years after the introduction of the first ever motorcycle garment with removable waterproof membrane, SPIDI reinvents the three-layer jacket with STEP-INARMOR, a new technology that places the protective layer close to the body. The outer layers are lightweight, more casual items of clothing. STEP-INARMOR revolutionizes the concept of layering. It’s a new jacket technology with protections on the inside, offering riders everything they need in a single garment. Motorcycle jackets designed with this technology combines 3 layers (Armor/ Soft Shell/ Hard Shell) in multiple combinations, able to challenge any climatic condition.
Armor. STEP-INARMOR jackets feature an inner net layer (CE Certified to the Pr En 17092-3:2017) integrating all necessary protections. This revolutionary concept allows riders to be fully safe even whilst wearing the lightweight armor alone, for example during the warmest summer days. The armor fit is slim, to better keep the protectors very tight to the body and reduce the protectors rotational motion during a crash.
Soft Shell.
The middle layer, a Comforce Technology thermal liner wearable as a stand alone, features Windout membrane to block the wind while maintaining an extreme breathability level, thus granting a dramatic reduction of wind chill effect. Light, comfortable and finely designed, this casual garment can be sported whilst taking a break from the road or in combination with the other layers.
Hard Shell.
A groundbreaking innovation inspired by extreme mountaineering, the external layer is a super high-tech, ultra-lightweight hard shell protecting riders from the elements, without compromising on comfort or style. Handy and versatile, this water- and wind-proof shell perfectly combines comfort and style, thanks to H2Out® waterproof & breathable membrane. H2Out® is the proprietary SPIDI membrane, a windproof, waterproof shield, which is at the same time breathable, light, flexible with micrometric thickness, a result of years of co-operation into research in Japan with Toray®. The hard shell can be used as a rain jacket over any other multi-functional garment.
One jacket – Six possible configurations.
By freely combining the three layers through a practical zip and loop system, riders can create six different configurations, adapting the jacket to their surroundings. The lightest adventure jacket ever designed by SPIDI Safety Lab: safe but extremely lightweight, the STEP-INARMOR technology offers riders everything they need – protection, soft-shell and hard-shell – in a single garment. This technology is a project by SPIDI Safety Lab. Its team of experts is committed to integrating the success of SPIDI design with the most advanced solutions in the field of safety worldwide, without compromise.
The Mission-T Jacket.
The first ever jacket integrating STEP-INARMOR technology is the Mission-T (www.spidi.com/product/D238-026), featuring premium materials and compnents such as Dermizax® laminate, Level 2 protectors and bi-elastic soft shell for an unparalleled comfort in any weather condition.
The SPIDI Style.
Since 1977, SPIDI has been delivering premium products for the motorsport lifestyle community, driven by a deep sense of responsibility in devising design solutions to protect riders on the road and by a constant strive for innovation to patent and integrate new and more efficient technology. Style also plays an important part in SPIDI’s worldwide success. Designing premium quality garments with extreme levels of technology and an understated, fashion-oriented look is the challenge that the company has taken on with unwavering commitment and that will shape the future of the motorbike community.
The all-rounder for demanding long-distance and frequent travellers is perfectly suited for use under a wide range of weather conditions. The Tour Jacket Pacora-ST will impress you with its waterproof solto-TEX® climate membrane and the thermal lining that can be removed separately. Effective width adjustments provide a tailor-made fit. The right combination partner: Tour Pants Puerto-ST.
Pacora is a small town in Panama, located at the narrowest part of the land bridge in Central America. The Carretera Panamericana goes through the middle of Pacora. The longest road in the world connects Alaska to Tierra del Fuego and stretches for a length of 25,750 km over the entire north-south length of the American continent. The Panamericana passes through all types of climate zone, both dense jungle as well as high mountain passes. It also crosses 17 different countries. The temperatures range from a hot 45° C to -30° C by Bolivia’s salt lakes.
The name «Tour Jacket Pacora-ST» did not come about by chance because this jacket is an all-rounder and a loyal companion every day. It’s in its element when the weather is changeable. The legendary Panamericana with a very wide range of weather conditions is precisely the right playground for this jacket. It’s extremely abrasion-resistant with its high-tech outer material made of Tactel® and just as packed with lots of functions & comfort. The «Perfect Fit» concept of #ixs has really become a reality with the ergonomic fit.
If it rains, the solto-TEX® 2-layer Z-liner membrane makes it pleasant to wear and provides full weather protection – wind-proof, waterproof, breathable. It keeps the rider warm and dry. If temperatures rise, the thermal lining can be removed very easily. The jacket is also equipped with six easy to use ventilation zones. The innovative system provides efficient cooling and prevents any potentially tiring heat developing. The breathable net lining and a back protector pocket in 3D-mesh fabric improve the removal of moisture to the outside and optimise the body’s feeling of well-being.
Globetrotters appreciate the large storage volume with seven external pockets and two inside pockets in the fixed net lining and two Napoleon pockets. With its many adjustment options, the jacket can be adapted to any situation at any time, depending on how many layers you are wearing underneath. As far as safety is concerned, the Tour Jacket Pacora-ST does not accept any compromises: The best possible impact protection is provided by the light back, shoulder and elbow protectors (all Level 2), which are certified to the highest CE safety standards. Thanks to the reflective transfer prints, you will be seen at an early stage by other road users.
The circumferential connecting zip creates a secure connection to the trousers for ultimate flexibility in use and maximum comfort. Perfectly matching the jacket and with identical characteristics, the Tour Pants Puerto-ST are available in a total of 29 sizes. The Tour Women’s Jacket Pacora-ST is the equivalent for women. It has a special ladies cut and is available in different colours, including a trendy black-purple. It’s logical that matching trousers are also available for women.

In addition to the presence of removable CE protectors on the shoulders and elbows, the item features inner pockets to accommodate Nucleon back and chest protectors. The blend of mesh and fabric guarantees the stability of the protective elements in the event of a fall. The two hooks for connecting the trousers keep the garment in the correct position, preventing the jacket from riding up on the back.
Downtown C1 technical sweatshirt
In the Downtown technical sweatshirt, the protective elements typical of motorcycle apparel are inserted in a lifestyle garment: a sweatshirt with removable hood equipped with internal anti-abrasion aramid fiber reinforcements, protections on shoulders and elbows and a pocket to fit the Nucleon back protector. Fit, look and practicality for urban use on motorcycles and in leisure time, yet without sacrificing the safety of a fully CE-certified garment.

SPIDI, Creators Of Revolutionary Four Season Capable Jackets
Combining the functionality of three motorcycle jacket types into a single jacket has been a priority for SPIDI since 1994, when the first ever motorcycle jacket featuring this construction concept was introduced.
At the time SPIDI jackets were of two primary types: summer jackets, with removable liners, and winter jackets, with a z-liner construction membrane. These winter jackets had no ventilation and for this reason they were too hot to use in warmer climates. In order to solve this problem the team at SPIDI have developed a revolutionary new removable insulating membrane – creating a jacket that can be worn in all four seasons, from summer through winter, simply by adding or removing internal layers.
4Season Technology – Tested Over 1,000,000 Kilometers Across Europe, Iceland, and the Sahara.
Over the past 5 years the SPIDI 4Season suits have represented a benchmark in terms of functionality and design. The 4Season suit was tested by 100 riders participating to Test and Ride, a contest where only riders crossing 3 European borders could take part. More than 1,000,000 kilometers have been ridden taking 4Season to extreme conditions, from freezing Icelandic coasts to the baking heat of Moroccan deserts. An incredible and inprecendented series of product tests that generated a new generation of multilayers products, the Allroad collection.
SPIDI Allroad, The Ultimate Step-In-Wear Suit
SPIDI Allroad represents the ultimate evolution of this technology, the sum total of all SPIDI adventure-touring apparel knowledge. The main chassis integrates high-tenacity Extra Tenax 3-layered nylon 6.6 – offering excellent abrasion and puncture resistance – and a PU-coated polyester, in comfort-sensitive areas. The Allroad jacket has CE certification to the Pr En 17092-3:2017 Class AA standard, and it comes with ForceTech removable protectors in the shoulders and elbows which are CE Level 2 certified to the EN 1621-1:2012 standard. There are 3M® Scotchlite® reflectors for excellent nighttime visibility and there’s a jacket-to-pant zipper connection for additional safety. In order to ensure that the jacket can be tailored to fit perfectly, it has the SPIDI integrated adjustment Ergofit System, with an adjustable E.S.T. fastener on the collar.
The InsideOut H2Out Membrane
The jacket also features the innovative InsideOut System, a waterproof triple-layer H2Out 10K/10K membrane that can be worn inside the jacket during a light rain, or outside in the case of thunderstorms and heavy downpours. When riding for hours in heavy rain, it is recommended to wear the membrane in Outside mode – keeping you lighter and drier. The membrane has adjustable “gaiters” to adapt for InsideOUT-specific use.
