AGV Sport Arc By Deb Gasque #182082
MY LIFELONG MANTRA: “YOU CAN never have too many pairs of shoes.” As my life has evolved over the past few years into the extremely passion- ate motorcyclist that I am today, I’ve added to that mantra: “You can never have too many pairs of shoes AND motorcycle jackets!” Recently, I had the opportunity to
give a fairly new jacket on the market a whirl. Think vintage, think comfort, think functionality. The AGV Sport Arc ladies jacket has all of those qual- ities.

important, safety? It didn’t take long after receiving this new jacket before I was out on the road putting it to the test. The AGV Sport Arc jacket was immediately comfort- able and true-to-size for me. I wear a medium top/jacket, and it fit me perfectly. The jacket has an adjustable waist which can be cinched or loosened depending on one’s preferred fitment. The mandarin col- lar is fleece-lined for maximum comfort around your neck. That particular feature is one that’s important to me—it’s so hard
to enjoy the ride when you’ve got something scratching at your neck. Along the lines of comfort, the jacket, in
my opinion, could perform well in three sea- sons. It has both a full-sleeve, quilted liner (with inner pockets for phone, etc.) and a separate, removable full-sleeve Reissa breath- able waterproof liner. On super hot days, the under layers can all be zipped out, exposing a soft, fixed mesh interior liner, as well as two air vents at the front of the jacket and two at the back for maximum ventilation. Also, the Arc jacket features slight padding in the cuff and shoulder areas to give additional riding comfort. My next concern was function. AGV Sport
hit the mark on several areas. I loved the tabs on all of the YKK zippers which made it super easy to zip and unzip the jacket, pockets and
