New Duchinni Jago Youth Jacket
Many of us will have first experienced motorcycling with a childhood pillion ride. And if you’re looking to return the favour, the new Duchinni Jago Youth Jacket offers a cost-effective choice for younger riders and passengers.
While my parents were satisfied with me wearing a cheap old borrowed helmet and a leather jacket purchased from the local market, modern motorcycle kit has become a lot better, and more affordable. So the Duchinni Jago Youth Jacket is AA rated for safety, just like the adult range. And it also comes with Level 2 CE-approved shoulder and elbow armour.
But the most useful bit is that along with the waist, collar and cuff adjusters for a good fit, each arm also has a zipped extension panel. So as your child grows, you can make the arms up to 3cm longer, extending the life of the jacket, and saving you cash. Plus the same type of extender panels are also used in the matching Imola textile trousers, so a complete set of riding kit will last that bit longer.
The Duchinni Jago Youth Jacket is available in Black, Black/Red, Black/Neon, Black/Camo adn Black/Purple in choldren’s sizes XS-XL (32″-38″ chest), and will cost you £99.99. The matching Imola textile trousers cost £79.99, and the company also produce Bambino gloves (£34.99) for little hands.
Duchinni kit is available from various retailers, including Halfords, and Ghost Bikes. You can also find your nearest local Duchinni stockist via this handy map.
