AGV Sport Venus Leather Jacket Review

The AGV Sport Venus Leather Jacket remains true to size according to AGV Sports sizing charts.  One of the first things noticed about the Venus is it is definitely not a smaller version of the men’s cut.  The rounded seems in a woman’s top (princess seams) allow the jacket to conform to the figure of a woman’s body.  The Velcro wrists tabs in addition to the pre curved arms allow for a perfect fit in the sleeves.

This jacket was also designed with maximum airflow in mind. The zippered chest intake vents in addition to the back exhaust air vents provided great airflow.  There are also pieces of leather sewn underneath the arms in the 100% polyester mesh lining to prevent ripping.

The idea behind these jackets is protection, and the AGV Sport Venus Leather Jacket does not cut corners when it comes to safety. The jacket is constructed of 1.1-1.3mm thick leather, with the thicker leather being placed in high impact areas. The main seams on the jacket are double stitched to avoid tearing, and there is also CE approved elbow and shoulder armor in addition to a 1 cm thick foam back pad for added protection.

One of the most important things when riding is nighttime visibility, the AGV Sport Venus Leather Jacket does not disappoint when comes to this.  AGV Sport has placed 3M reflective piping in the front and back of the jacket which becomes bright when it is struck by car lights.

The AGV Sport Venus also includes a waist connection for a pair of pants, which provides great protection for the lower back. If the zipper that the jacket comes with does not fit your favorite pair of riding pants, than you can simply remove the bottom portion of the jackets zipper and re-attach it to any pair of pants.

Many of the woman’s jackets on the market just seem like a shrunken version of their male counterparts. However, AGV Sport has taken the time to design a true woman’s leather jacket.  The AGV Sport Venus Leather Jacket is well constructed and conforms to a woman’s’ body.  

Custom Made Italian Race Suits

Frederick, MD. September 7th, 2011. AGV Sports Group Inc, introduces an innovative website that allows riders to fully customize the finest Italian one-piece racing leathers on-line. These suits are hand crafted just outside of Milan, Italy.

This new site is one of a kind, and continues the company’s dedication to innovation in research and design. It is no secret riding leathers are a serious investment, which is why the company wants to provide the customer with as much control over design as possible. They begin with the highest quality hand crafted Italian leather, the same leather that overwhelms the starting grids of the World Superbike series and MotoGP World Championship. The suits are also available in Kangaroo leather, which is 25-30% lighter than its cowhide counterpart.  Current custom suit sites provide a few different color patterns or options to choose from, but http://cs.agvsport.com/ allows the rider to customize a suit from head to toe. A rider can match these suits to the bike they ride or the sponsors’ colors they run. This begins with 16 different color options to choose from, including bases, metals, and fluorescents. 

The suit displayed on the screen is divided into 11 sections, including four just from the knee to the ankle. The separate sections allow the user to create their own patterns by choosing a color for each section.  As the rider tries different color combinations, they can see their changes as they make them on the 3-dimensional rotating manikin. This advanced technology provides the rider with an accurate and realistic view of what his/her suit will look like. http://cs.agvsport.com/  is as close as it comes to flying to Italy and designing a suit in person.

Riders also have the ability to choose from 3 different fonts for their name patch.  Once they have chosen a font, it can be placed over the shoulders, under the elastic, or over the elastic of their suit.  The patch and colors on the suit also change on the display as the customer chooses different options.  When the customization of the suit is complete, the specifications are sent to Italy. Here they are individually hand crafted at a plant using the latest techniques and technology to ensure the highest quality product possible.

AGV Sports Group Inc, has stuck by their motto of “for riders by riders” when designing this website. If you are looking for a performance driven custom race suit, you have found it at http://cs.agvsport.com/
