Cool Madera is a model for those looking for the most useful motorcycle reflective clothing available for affordable money. Is the three-layer design and application of TFL Cool Black technology to prevent the sun's darkening of the fabric in the sun is a recipe for success?
Name and model of the jacket: Madera Cool Black
Execution: Madera is made in a three-layer layout. This means an outer polyamide jacket, Z-Liner flapper jacket and Outlast warm-up jacket. The classic, versatile cut is used in a variety of applications. The jacket is equipped with four external waterproof pockets and two inside, including a mobile phone pocket in the warmer. Tec certified protectors are used on the shoulders and shoulders. It is a shame that a simple foam pad is found on the back. For comfort we can add that the pocket allows you to use a decent accessory cartridge. The jacket can be fitted with trousers thanks to a universal lock.
Fit comfort: The jacket by reflective material is well tailored and fits into any "regular" silhouette. What's more, the manufacturer has offered the user plenty of options for adjusting the product in terms of sleeve volume, waist circumference and hip height. Cool Black after seizing the place behind the wheel of a motorcycle does not wrinkle, does not bother and does not interfere with driving.
The triple-layered construction brings with it specific limitations to keep in mind before you buy. Velcro variety makes them like to hook up with each other. On hot days, the TFL fabric works by limiting the jacket's warming up, but the inefficient diaphragm makes the driver sweat relatively quickly. Sweat draining is unsatisfactory, leaving only a diaphragm gap. True, this solves the problem of excess sweat and temperature under the jacket, but in the chimerical summer we had this year, it means continually tracking weather forecasts and frequent pinning-up of the membrane, which not everyone must like.
The best time to use your jacket is spring and autumn, when you can ride with a diaphragm and a napkin. The jacket is very well protected against the cold, it is waterproof and thanks to the thoughtful design - functional. After 7 months of use the jacket looks very well, no problem with seams locks and buttons.
Waterproof: We had the opportunity to ride in the Cool Black rain and after an hour of driving under such conditions the driver remained dry. We get the impression that good rain protection was achieved at the expense of the inferiority we mentioned above.
Purpose: The Cool Black set with reflective fabric is very well suited for day-to-day operations, including city travel. Nonetheless, the best use for the presented Medici product seems to be tourism where the product can show its greatest advantages - good comfort, practicality (thanks to a large number of pockets) and effective rain protection.
Cool Black Tip is a very good solution for people looking for a universal product at an affordable price. The use of three-layered construction has its pros and cons. On the one hand, it makes it easier to adjust the product to a particular weather situation, and on the other hand it requires continuous "play" with the pins. The diaphragm is very well protected against rain and wind, but it is poorly breathed. The product is well executed and functional, certainly worth recommending.
