PRO GuIDe WRS shows versatility with Africa Twin screen Although not able to indulge the company's passion for racing during the lockdown, Pesaro, Italy based screen manufacturer WRS hasn't been asleep. The rapid success it has enjoyed since being founded by CEO Nicolas Zavoli in 2009 has been driven in no small part by technical partnerships and sponsorships with major teams such as Pramac Racing (Ducati MotoGP), BMW Motorrad official team (WorldSBK), Team SIC 58 Squadra Corse (Moto3) and Reale Avintia Racing Team with Johann Zarco and Tito Rabat. The company has invested heavily in cutting-edge technologies, creating a dedicated design team and a production department with a reputation for precision and quality. "We combine new technologies for design and development with the use of certified materials with the best parameters of resistance and transparency," says Nicolas. "All our products are designed with the utmost attention to detail and checked one by one to give our clients a product of the highest quality with 100% 'Made in Italy' precision." Made in high quality acrylic (Plexiglas PMMA) to guarantee excellent "transmittance" (ability to pass the light) and correct optical clarity, "they are safe and on impact can absorb the energy by breaking, but not shattering like glass - our designs are so finely tuned that whether a high or a low design, we gain optimum protection from wind and rain - the basis of our designs have a more dynamic line that protects most of the body from the air, but leaves the face uncovered". Proof that the lockdown hasn't been a slowdown for Nicolas and his team comes in the form of new screen designs for the Africa Twin - four applications for the 1100 L and four for the Adventure. 'Scirocco' jacket 'Scirocco', a new short jacket from Hevik, is designed to cope with high temperatures and humidity. It has large areas of breathable mesh, but still provides ample protection. The outside polyester fabric has large mesh areas on the chest, the back and inner sections of the sleeves that keep the body ventilated. Safety is provided by the standard CE protectors on shoulders and elbows and the back protector pocket (the Hevik HFB protector level 2). Further features include a Neoprene collar trim with comfortable button fastening, a jacket-trouser fastening system, strap adjustments at the wrists and reflective inserts on the shoulders. Front closure is by zip and there are five pockets. It is available in separate cuts for men and women. The jacket is available in various colourways, black/neon yellow, grey/neon yellow and black for men, and in black/neon yellow and grey/pink and black for women.
