With the Takuya Lady the search for a full-fledged, lightweight and therefore very versatile touring jacket for women comes to an end. Or at least it could be. Modeka delivers a lot of quality for a very competitive price.
The exterior consists of (always soft to the touch) Tactel (750D) and Cordura (500D), and in motorcycle circles these materials are no longer unknown. From the sleeve ends to the waist, in a large inverted U-shape, there is stretch material that provides a tight yet flexible fit. Freedom of movement and comfort are the key words. Strong and easy. And soft. And light. And so far, we are only talking about the outside. Modeka provides an equally pleasant membrane underneath. Sympatex® is a favorite of the German manufacturer and with a waterproofness of 100% and a lot of breathability, this is absolutely right.
No need to look for an extra thermal layer: Sympatex® membrane is very effective and underneath you can go for an extra sweater or fleece. If the heat is getting to you, you have a double venting zipper at the chest and the option to ventilate the sleeves from bottom to top. It's more than enough and when you unzip both openings at the back, a pleasant breeze is created around the body.
The stretch strips make sure that - thanks to a double velcro strip on each sleeve - you can pull everything tight. On the waist you have those extra adjustment options but a large elastic band keeps the Takuya Lady in check anyway. This is a feminine, centered jacket, with the cut to match. The sleeve ends are, just like the collar (twice velcro) adjustable.
YF is responsible for the impact protection. Shoulders and elbows are standard equipped with CE-approved protectors, and who would like to can, without much effort fit a CE-approved (SAS-TEC) back protector. This means: EN1621-1:2021.
Whether it is the membrane, the outer shell, the subtle but clearly visible reflective strips or the sturdy zippers on the two side pockets, this Takuya Lady radiates quality. Touring quality. And of course, that goes with the same high quality pants with the same name.
Below you will find an overview per jacket size of the appropriate CE homologated SAS-TEC®back protector.
| jacket size | SAS-TEC back protector | |
|---|---|---|
| 34 => 36 | => | size M/L |
| 38 => 50 | => | size L |
