Meh, I've had Spada gear before and it's a bit....meh. The textiles I had weren't up to much cop they felt cheap and flimsy. They were also touted as waterproof which was utter cobblers.

I tend to buy Dainese these days, the price point is good and I've yet to find any real fault with Italian quality.

I recently returned a set of Spada (All Road) textiles because they leaked like the proverbial sieve the first time they saw rain, they were also uncomfortable compared to my old RST stuff and the replacement A* stuff.

But on the other hand

A mate has had some Spada stuff for a couple of years and has seen some pretty bad weather and done a few EU trips in them and is happy with them.

Cheers
