- 2022 - 3 leather punching leather jackets to wear in summer

Hello, this is Masayuki Aikyo, a motorcycle journalist.

Pre-order sales for Kadoya's 2022 Spring/Summer new products have finally started. From around the end of March, we plan to gradually start lining up in stores, but due to the corona wreck, we are still in a situation where we cannot say feel free to come to the store to see it.

Therefore, although it will be irregular, we have started a series of articles to convey the details and textures of the products. In this first installment, we would like to introduce three leather and perforated leather jackets that are worn in the summer.

The theme color for 2022 is blue gray

We have 3 punching leather jackets for this season.

In addition to the usual black, we also offer blue gray as a variation. A slightly bluish smoky gray is a trendy color that is increasingly being used on motorcycle bodies.

The calming color makes it easy to incorporate into your coordination.

PL-RAFF

---

The PL-RAFF is designed so that you can enjoy a stylish and comfortable leather jacket even in the summer.

Also pay attention to the arm line.

The silhouette is designed to be more stylish than before, but the amount of momentum when riding is firmly secured.

It is a dress with a heavy texture such as a metal zipper that is not hidden and a dot button on the collar.

A zipper is placed on the left forearm.

SW-BANSHEE

---

This is a model derived from the punching specification double riders PL-SW released in 2022SS.

It features a padded design with sponge sandwiched from the shoulder to the elbow.

It seems to be suitable for adventure bikes, which have been increasing in the lineup recently.

Punching has a small diameter for areas that are susceptible to damage in the event of a fall.

The collar is a stand-up collar similar to a single, but the placket is a semi-double design.

It is also attractive that the image changes greatly when the zipper is opened and closed.

ATLAS – PL

---

This is the slimmest and sharpest design among the 3 perforated leather jackets in this season's lineup.

Despite its slender design, it is the effect of shirring that extends from the back shoulder that achieves overwhelming mobility.

The curved main zipper is unique.

This is also semi-double like SW-BANSEE, but the silhouette is very different because it is collarless.

There is a pocket next to the main zipper.

Features common to all three

Last year, I wore Kadoya's punching leather jacket for the first time. It felt hotter than the mesh jacket, but I was surprised because it was cool with good ventilation.

In fact, Kadoya's perforated leather jacket has a maximum hole diameter of 2 mm, and is designed to take in a lot of wind. In addition, the lining is made of water-absorbing and quick-drying material, so it won't get sticky.

The protector comes standard with the spine. All protectors including the chest can be installed as an option.

Benefits of choosing punching leather instead of mesh jacket

---

The perforated leather jacket is thicker and heavier than the mesh jacket. Therefore, there is a feature that it is difficult to flutter while driving.

In addition, it has excellent tear strength compared to mesh jackets, so it is a reassuring existence in case of emergency. How about choosing it as a companion for long touring?
