Sedici Chicane 2 Mesh Jacket: Summer Riding Protection and Airflow

Chicane 2 Mesh Jacket Overview

• 🏍️ The Sedici Chicane 2 Mesh Jacket is designed for warm weather riding, suitable for spring, summer, and fall, especially in warmer climates.
• 💰 It remains at the $200 price point, offering updated styling and new features compared to previous versions.
• 📏 Sizing is based on Sedici's chart, with a recommendation to size up one size if planning to integrate an airbag system.

Construction and Safety Features

• 🛡️ The jacket features a Dobby polyester main construction with 1200D ballistic material in impact zones like shoulders and elbows.
• 💡 Redesigned TPU sliders on the shoulders and elbows provide a more modern look and are proprietary to Sedici, enhancing the overall design.
• 💥 CE Level 2 Axial armor is included for shoulders and elbows, with a pocket for an optional CE Level 2 back protector (sold separately).
• 📈 The chassis is tested to a CE AA rating for impact abrasion resistance, with dual compound composite shoulder and elbow sliders.

Comfort and Fit

• 💨 Massive mesh paneling on the chest and belly ensures optimal airflow, keeping the rider cool.
• 💪 Reinforced 4-way stretch inserts at the collar and inner arms, along with elasticated stretch panels at the shoulders and elbows, allow for unrestricted movement in various riding positions.
• 🌬️ A foldback zip entry at the cuff allows for increased airflow when desired, though it should be closed for maximum safety.
• 🧵 A comfortable antimicrobial moisture-wicking mesh liner is integrated, making it suitable for wearing with just a t-shirt.

Jacket Placement and Recommendations

• ⬆️ Within Sedici's line, the Chicane 2 is a step up from the Podio (more street/boxy cut) and a more budget-friendly, warm-weather alternative to the Corsa 2 (leather option).
• ⚠️ A key critique is the lack of reflective elements on the back of the jacket, which would enhance visibility.
• ❓ For those unsure about the right mesh jacket, reaching out to customer service experts is recommended to find the best fit for riding style and budget.
