Scorpion Womens Jacket, Armored Black

Reflective Textile Mesh, Hat Trick

Scorpion Hat Trick Jacket August went out with a heat wave here, but now that September has arrived, it's been cool. This is not the best weather for me to be thinking about a mesh textile jacket, but last month, stuck in traffic with the heat beating down on me, I gave some serious consideration to finishing my ride with my leather in the saddlebag -- not a good idea as far as safety is concerned.

I live in Michigan, so it doesn't get too hot here in any season. If you live in the South, you'd probably enjoy the Scorpion Hat Trick textile jacket. This is cut for women, though not overtly feminine like some other brands that push the pink in their women's apparel.

To keep you from getting overheated, the non-impact areas are mesh panels, and the impact areas are ballistic nylon over ventilated armor. Exo-tec CE armor will sit securely over shoulders and elbows because this jacket is designed to fit close. The textiles move with you, so that close fit is not a restrictive fit.

Scorpion's Exo-Stitch safety system will keep the seams strong in the hard and fast wear of a crash or the slow abuse of time. For additional protection, there is integrated reflective trim on the sleeves.

The Hat Trick comes with a removable, fully-sleeved liner that is wind and water-proof, so it'll keep you warm enough on cool, damp days. I wouldn't, however, recommend wearing this for serious cold weather riding. If you live in the right climate, or want a jacket for the dog days, you can get the Hat Trick in your choice of black or white on black and in a wide range of sizes. The white on black will add to your visibility.
