Motorcycle Boots

Designed for use in weather of all types, the new AGV Sport Sebring 2 boots utilize Schoeller, Keprotec, and Kevlar to achieve that goal, along with providing flexibility and movement.

The Italian leather Sebring 2 motorcycle boots have a pronounced heel and a tread pattern that is claimed to give a better feel at the footpegs.

The boots feature injection-molded polycarbonate armor with shock-absorption that protects the shin, ankle, heel, calf, and toe areas. A speed-lacing system makes personalized fit easy to achieve.

The AGV Sport Sebring 2 boots are available in your choice of black, yellow, red, and blue, and sizes 9 through 12. MSRP is $200.

The MSRP for the AGV Sport Alliance Backpack is $59, and it is available in you choice of Gunmetal or Black.

Our AGVSPORT Laguna gloves have garnered yet another review, this time by Sport Rider magazine in their September 2010 issue. The popular race gloves are created to have maximum ventilation with the most abrasion resistant leather and have extra padding including memory foam padding on the top of the hand. “We [Sport Rider Magazine] found the Laguna Race gloves very comfortable, with no stitches or seams in any grip areas causing annoyance or discomfort.” They noted a much better fit and quality of the gloves among others they have tried within the same price range. “Constructed from premium cowhide for high tear strength and abrasion resistance, yet with a soft and comfortable interior, the Laguna Race sports feature you usually don’t see in a glove with a list price for only $124.”

The review stressed how much ventilation the Laguna gloves provided when riding. “Speaking of venting, the Laguna Race had it in abundance, with the leather panels inside all four fingers (as well as the panel running along the outside of the index finger almost up to the wrist) completely perforated…If you constantly ride in hot weather, these gloves are definitely worth looking at.” We make the gloves with perforated leather and holes that are bigger than average in diameter. These gloves offer ventilation as well as protection, with extra padding strategically placed within the glove to ensure maximum safety. Not only are they reliable, ventilated, and affordable, they also come in four different colors (red, blue, yellow, and black) to match any gear or bike. They are available in sizes S to XXL and can be purchased through Motonation for $124.

We would like to thank Sport Rider magazine for publishing this review in their September 2010 issue.

Motorcycle USA has done it again as they are raving about the AGV Sport Moda Ladies Perforated Leather Jacket.  AGVSPORT Group, a company designed by riders for riders, is proud to produce apparel for the female rider.  With an understanding about the female psyche, the Moda Ladies Perforated Leather Jacket is the perfect riding jacket for any woman.

A review done by MotorcycleUSA.com reveals that the Moda Ladies Perforated Leather Jacket, “has attractive, feminine styling without being over-the-top girlie.”  The jacket allows for a sense of femininity without sacrificing the avid sport bike rider image.  AGVSPORT has stayed true to their core values of designing high quality apparel with innovative features for today’s riders.  With technology at a boom AGVSPORT has the perfect compartments to safely house these valuable electronics and everyday concerns without compromising mobility and safety.

The review states that the jacket features pockets perfect for storing a mobile phone or iPod and even features a, “…little tab in the liner that holds [the] earphone wiring in place.”  And with the arms of the jacket already pre-curved for easy break-in and comfort, what better jacket could there be for the female rider?  Every little female pet-peeve has been already been addressed in this jacket.  There is even a pocket on the inside of the jacket perfect for a pair or sunglasses, the perfect location to place them after an exhilarating ride!  AGVSPORT has thought of everything in the design of this jacket, including padding in the shoulders, back and elbows for ultimate security.  I think every woman can agree that there is no greater feeling than ultimate security, especially when riding on the highway. The Moda Ladies Perforated Lather Jackets is the ultimate woman’s motorcycle jacket.

AGVSPORT Group would like to once again thank MotorcycleUSA.com for their kind words in reviewing this fine piece of women’s riding apparel.

The AGV Sport Pella Perforated Leather Jacket has traditional styling, is comfortable out-of-the-box, and has super ventilation.

There are not many black leather jackets you can comfortably wear during the summer. Leather doesn’t breathe well and black absorbs heat. The AGV Sport Pella Perforated Leather Jacket breaks this misconception.

The top grain leather on the AGV jacket is thin, pliable and lightweight in comparison to most full leather jackets. Tiny round perforations front and back allow for excellent air flow. The sewn-in liner is also mesh and doesn’t inhibit the jacket’s breathability. The leather is soft, as is the liner, which makes the jacket immediately comfortable. The comfort level gets an assist from pre-curved arms. Open up the five-inch zippers running up the sleeves on super hot days to increase air flow even more.

The AGV Sport Pella Perforated Leather Jacket is solid leather where you need it most, on the top portions of the arms, including the elbows, and shoulders. Protection from road rash comes in the form of CE-approved shoulder and elbow protectors that are flexible and removable. There is also a memory foam back protector that adds an extra level of security without being bulky.

The jacket zips up the front and the system is easy to use and doesn’t come apart like on some other jackets I’ve recently worn. Small buttons close off the wrists. In the back is a waist connection zipper in case you want to connect it to your riding pants.

For storage, you’ve got two zip-up exterior hand warmer pockets. Inside there is a zippered storage pocket on the right breast and a deeper, vertical map-style pocket opposite it on the left side. One of its best features is a waterproof media

pocket also on the right-hand side for a cell phone and iPod sewn into the liner. It has a plastic slot to run your earphone wiring through and a Velcro tab just below the collar to keep the wire from getting tangled up.

The jacket is tailored for a snug fit. Styling is nondescript, classic biker black. Brand labeling is very subtle, with the black AGV logo in between the shoulder blades and the words AGV Sport printed on the collar only noticeable if you look real close.

With the AGV Sport Pella Perforated Leather Jacket, think about going a size bigger. I ordered a 46 and I could use a little more length in the arms and if I’m on a bike with ergos that have a forward-lean, it rides up above my beltline a touch. Of course, the ventilation comes at the expense of water-proofing. I found out the hard way when I got caught out in a downpour at the Laconia Motorcycle Rally. A little piping to give the jacket some visibility at night would be beneficial.

I’m a die-hard fan of leather jackets. I also like traditional black styling. I appreciate AGV for making a jacket that meets these criteria and is wearable during hot summer months without roasting riders alive.
