Capo Padrone SL Jacket

Capo knew better than to mess with a good thing, which is why its new SL series relies on the same proven fit and detailing as the original Padrone collection, but with the addition of the latest in reflective fabric technology. The Padrone SL high visibility Jacket stands in as the ideal riding jacket, as its protective paneling was made to remain subtle during the daylight hours, yet become fully illuminated when light hits the surface. Welcome to the next generation in high end, safety minded riding apparel. The SL jacket falls under what Capo calls its Gruppo Sportivo, or GS Series. Designed to push the envelope of cycling apparel, the GS series received Capo's most advanced materials and construction techniques. Basically, it checks all of the boxes on your list support, flexibility, warmth, and also visibility. This is all due to the Padrone having been constructed from a blend of Capo's latest fabrics: Super Black and P 10 Membranes. Both of these ultra reflective materials are what contribute to the jacket's visible properties, and they were engineered to provide the same controlled stretch, wind and water repellency, and wicking abilities as the materials they replace. Crushed crystals have been bonded to the membranes' surfaces, which effectively reflect light when it hits the surface. This paneling is what gives the new Padrone its high level of visibility. Both of these materials' compositions favor a lightweight, softshell design over bulky, fleecy fabrics. Match that with a slim cut from hem to hem, and there's not a chance that rain or snow is getting in. Additionally, the P 10 panels are lightly perforated, which keeps air freely circulating through the jacket. This ventilation system ensures you stay comfortable in the saddle, regardless of your effort levels. In addition to prepping for the elements, the Padrone has been designed to be highly malleable in order to complement the cycling specific flexibility of the GS series. Capo ma...
