Pando Moto Falcon Aviator Jacket

Pando Moto Falcon Aviator Jacket

Old-school bomber jackets meet new-school cool in the Falcon Aviator jacket. It is made of the highest quality goat black dull semi-aniline leather, which is not only extremely soft but also durable. Aniline leather is considered the most natural and pure form of leather, as it retains the natural grain and characteristics of the hide. A removable quilted lining inside keeps you extra toasty on cooler rides. Not only is this jacket a CE Class AA garment A CE Level AA rating, governed by the EN 17092-3:2020 standard, signifies that a garment is engineered to offer a high level of abrasion resistant protection suitable for a wide range of riding conditions, including touring and daily commuting. To achieve this classification, the materials in the most vulnerable areas of the garment, known as Zone 1 (typically shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees), undergo rigorous testing.
The key test for abrasion resistance is performed on a specialized machine called the Darmstadt tester. In this test, a sample of the garment's material is subjected to a simulated slide on a concrete surface. For a garment to earn the AA rating, the material in Zone 1 must withstand a rotational speed of approximately 412.6 revolutions per minute (rpm) on the Darmstadt machine. This is designed to replicate a slide at a road speed of approximately 43mph (70 km/h). The material passes the test if it does not develop a hole larger than 5mm in any direction after the abrasion. This exacting standard ensures that the garment offers substantial protection against road rash in the event of a fall at typical road speeds. It is important to note that this abrasion test is just one component of the comprehensive testing required for certification. To earn the final rating, the garment must also pass rigorous standards for tear resistance, seam strength, the impact protection performance of the included armor and additional factors. , it includes D3O Ghost CE Level 1 elbow and shoulder armor for impact protection.
