The Santiago suit was designed for serious, long-distance motorcyclists who need gear that can handle unpredictable weather and long hours in the saddle.
* Material: Constructed from highly abrasion-proof Dynatec fabric with Cordura stretch panels for freedom of movement.
* Protection: Includes protective elements like armor for the back, elbows, and shoulders (which were often removable). Leather inserts at the inner knees were designed to help the rider grip the tank more securely.
* Weather Versatility: The suit itself was water-resistant, but it required a separate optional Gore-Tex inner liner for full waterproofing and warmth in cold weather. Without the liner, it was considered a warm weather jacket.
* Comfort & Fit: Features an ergonomic cut with pre-curved sleeves, multiple adjustment points, and a mesh lining for comfort and active breathing.
* Visibility: Highly reflective piping material runs longitudinally over the shoulders for increased visibility in low-light conditions.
