Sedici Corsa 2 Leather Jacket Review: Features, Fit, and Track Day Ready

Sedici Corsa 2 Jacket Overview

• 🚀 The Sedici Corsa 2 Jacket is an evolution of its predecessor, aiming to be a leader in the sub-$1,000 race suit category, with technology now integrated into this standalone jacket.
• 💰 Priced at approximately $350, it represents a $50 increase from the previous version, offering enhanced features for the price.
• 🎯 Designed for riders primarily on the street or those considering their first track day, it can be paired with matching pants for a two-piece suit option at a lower cost than a full one-piece suit.

Sizing and Fit Considerations

• 📏 Mr. McHugh, standing 6'0" and weighing 220 lbs with a 44" chest, wears an extra-large, which fits him perfectly for standalone use.
• ⚠️ Crucially, if planning to use an airbag system, it is recommended to size up one full size (e.g., from XL to 2XL) to accommodate the airbag.
• 📏 The jacket is available in a size range from small to 3XL and comes in multiple colorways.

Key Design and Comfort Features

• 💡 Enhanced comfort is noted around the collar compared to the previous version.
• ⚡ A significant update includes a floating shoulder construction and extensive accordion leather stretch panels on the back and arms for maximum mobility.
• 💨 Perforated leather panels are strategically placed on the chest and arms for optimal airflow, with a mesh lining down the belly to aid in warmer conditions.

Protection and Safety

• 🛡️ Equipped with CE Level 2 certified AXIAL AX2 armor at the elbows and shoulders, with an integrated pocket for an AXIAL AX2 back protector (sold separately).
• 🧩 New proprietary TPU sliders designed by Sedici are integrated at the elbows and shoulders, offering a more seamless fit and function within the garment.
• 🧵 An aramid patch reinforces seams at the forearm, with additional aramid lining in the forearm for extra protection.
• ❌ The speed hump has been removed from this jacket for improved comfort during street riding, making it distinct from the Corsa 2 race suit.

Additional Features and Versatility

• 🔗 A redesigned connection zipper ensures a better fit with Sedici leather pants, facilitating a secure two-piece suit setup.
• 👖 Can be worn with riding jeans, offering versatility for different riding scenarios.
• 🛍️ Includes internal pockets like a Napoleon pocket and a drop pocket for convenient storage.
• ⚠️ A foam pad is included in the back, but it is not a back protector; upgrading to a dedicated back protector is highly recommended for full coverage.
