Spidi team up with
Aether Apparel
INSPIRED by Spidi's renowned custom MotoGP gear
and a "shared appreciation for both technical
performance and design", Los Angeles based Aether
Apparel teamed up with the Italian motorsport brand
to create the Eclipse motorcycle jacket.
Designed by Aether and made by Spidi, the
collaboration has resulted in a jacket that is said to
"combine a refined modern aesthetic with the finest
in old-world leatherwork". Made with a premium
leather shell and yarn-dyed cotton lining, the Eclipse
uses hand-selected natural materials that have been
prepared in "traditional Italian fashion". Box quilting
on the upper torso and arms offer a subtle nod to
"vintage styles of the past, while the clean lines and
piecing underline the jacket's distinct modern look".
Aether incorporated Spidi CE-certified armour into
the elbows, shoulders and back and removable
shock-absorbing pads that have a multi-layer
construction to progressively dampen and diffuse the
force of impact.
