The IXS Pacora ST Lady is a 2-in-1 touring jacket, made of durable Tactel®. The waterproof solto-TEX® membrane is non-removable and has breathable qualities.
The outer layer in Tactel® is surprisingly pleasant, light and soft in texture. Especially if we consider the fact that a motorcycle jacket has a protective function in the first place. A pleasant surprise and at the same time an invitation to use the Pacora ST Lady very often. The internal climate management is in order: in addition to the removable thermal lining, there's also a mesh lining, and the back protector pocket doubles as a sort of extra moisture transporting channel. Ten out of ten against unpleasant sweating. When moisture comes from the outside, in the form of precipitation, you can count on the integrated (non-removable) solto-TEX® membrane. With six (6!) vents it should be possible to steer the Pacora ST Lady a long way south without sacrificing comfort.
The centered velcro strips on the flanks are always welcome on a jacket with typical (longer) touring cut, as well as on the sleeves (three times!) and at the waist (drawstring) you can vary at will. With five pockets on the outside and another four on the inside, there's enough storage space to definitely fall into the 'touring' category. All pockets can be closed with zipper or velcro.
Impact protection is provided by (level 2, EN1621-1:2012) 'impacTec TP-01' shoulder and elbow protectors. The elbow protectors are adjustable in height. An impacTec TP-06 back protector (EN1621-2:2014, level 2) is a standard feature of a motorcycle jacket of this caliber. All protectors are relatively soft and flexible.
The reflective material seems to hide in the prints on the forearms and the zippers on the chest, but with reflective strips on the back and shoulders there's plenty to go round.
The long connecting zipper just about demands to be paired with the Puerto ST Lady motorcycle pants.
