The battle between comfort, looking cool, and safety always happens at the intersection of motor and cycle. A new line of outerwear from Ducati is specially designed for the hot summer months and combines comfort and safety. They leave it up to you to determine whether or not you look cool in it. The new line includes three jackets and a sweatshirt.
As summer approaches, and the threat of coronavirus lesses, the company’s Ducati Cares program allows shoppers who wish to try on the garments at a retailer prior to purchase to do so. The collection of ventilated jackets for the summer is available on shop.ducati.com or in Ducati dealerships.
