Riding a Vespa is not just a simple means of transportation, but also a strong passion and lifestyle. Whether you use your Vespa for your daily commute or enjoy it as a recreational vehicle, safety should always come first. A crucial factor for safety on two wheels is choosing the right protective clothing.

Protective clothing, such as motorcycle jackets, pants and boots, as well as gloves, are specifically designed to protect your skin from abrasions and cuts. A quality helmet provides protection for your head and can be a lifesaver. For the right choice in headgear, there is a separate article: “Vespa Helmet Guide“. Further below, we go into more detail about special protections for scooter riding.

Whether the sun is shining, it’s raining, or it’s cold, the right rain gear will keep you comfortable in all weather conditions. Waterproof and breathable materials will keep you dry and from getting chilled. When temperatures are high, air-permeable fabrics protect you from overheating.

The REVIT SEESOFT™ CE level 2 back protector insert is capable of absorbing multiple consecutive impacts without sacrificing comfort, ventilation or freedom of movement.
This high-impact insert is made of a blend of nitrile polymers and polynorbene rubber that form a memory foam. This memory foam meets the highest CE certification standards (EN1621-2:2014 – Level 2) and resists more than one force impact.
In the event of a severe impact, the different layers of memory foam deform, distributing the impact energy over a larger area. This minimizes the impact force on the back and spine. Thanks to this multi-layer principle, REVIT has developed a flexible back protector insert that works excellently in all conditions.
