## 【Jacket Category】First, ensure coolness for your upper body!

### ROUGH&ROAD｜Riding ZIP Mesh Jacket EM

The first thing to check is the "Riding ZIP Mesh Jacket EM," with its attractive, chic design.

Instead of the typical lightweight impression of a "summer mesh jacket," it has a rugged style that highlights the emblem on the back. With a vintage feel, it's a great fit for those looking for understated riding wear.

The main material used is ROUGH&ROAD's "Spax Mesh NEW." This mesh material suppresses the feeling of flimsiness often found in regular mesh jackets, offering a lightweight yet supple and durable fabric.

Pads are standard equipment on the shoulders, elbows, and back. A separately sold CE-certified chest protector can also be attached, allowing you to enhance protection according to your needs.

When choosing a summer jacket, it's important to balance coolness with appearance and a sense of security. This is a classic mesh jacket that's easy to choose as your first one.

### ROUGH&ROAD｜Direct Air Mesh Parka FP

"I'm not really into typical motorcycle jackets."
This "Direct Air Mesh Parka FP" is recommended for those with a more casual style.

Its main feature is "Direct Air," as the name suggests. It uses big-hole mesh fabric as the main material, allowing riding wind to effectively cool your body, making it a mesh parka for mid-summer.

Spax mesh is used on the shoulders and sleeves, ensuring not only breathability but also durability. Furthermore, air-through pads are standard equipment on the chest, shoulders, elbows, and back, so even though it's a parka type, it doesn't compromise on protection.

The hood is removable, making it convenient to switch between a casual look for city riding and a streamlined look for touring.

This item combines ROUGH&ROAD's practicality with the ease of wear of everyday clothing. It's perfect for those looking for a summer jacket that can be worn naturally even after getting off the bike.

### ROUGH&ROAD｜Jet Air Mesh Jacket FP

### ROUGH&ROAD｜Direct Air Mesh Jacket FP

The "Direct Air Mesh Jacket FP" is a model receiving a flood of orders.

Its concept is "the ultimate mesh jacket." Using big-hole mesh fabric as the main material, it takes in a large amount of fresh air to cool down the rider even during extreme heat, making it a model designed for mid-summer.

The lining is omitted to enhance heat dissipation, designed to prevent concentration loss due to heat. Furthermore, air-through pads are standard equipment on the chest, shoulders, elbows, and back, balancing protection and breathability.

Adjuster flaps are also equipped on the arms to improve pad fit and reduce flapping. Even comfort during riding has been carefully considered.

### ROUGH&ROAD｜Riding Mesh Gloves

The "Riding Mesh Gloves" are a classic choice for summer gloves.

It gets so hot in mid-summer that you might be tempted to ride bare-handed, but gloves are essential when riding a motorcycle. That's where these summer light gloves with sweat-absorbent and quick-drying mesh material come in handy.

They offer excellent ventilation, heat dissipation, and light operability, making them easy to wear even in extreme heat. The palm is made of cowhide and smart touch leather, and the thumbs and index fingers on both hands are compatible with touch panels.

For summer touring, rain protection is something easily forgotten. That's where the "Ruff Rain Gloves" come in, perfect for stowing in your bag.

Getting caught in a sudden rain shower with regular mesh gloves can be extremely uncomfortable. These are rain gloves you'll want to have in preparation for the rainy season or sudden summer downpours.

## 【Pants Category】Escape the heat from your lower body
