Test judgments
Motorrad News TIP (9/2020): “Ready to travel - the Modeka Viper LT comes from the house with complete protectors and removable suspenders. The inner lining can also be worn as an independent jacket. The suit is oriented towards adventure with leather reinforcements on the inner legs. We particularly like the elastic width adjusters, thanks to which the station wagon leaves plenty of freedom of movement despite the tight fit. The stretchy material on the collar and cuffs is also very comfortable. The Tactel material is not too stiff despite the decent 750 denier fibers and laminated membrane. "

Comfort
Material:
Soft laminate: Based on positive experience in recent years, the soft polyamide material Tactel has become an important part of the Modeka Adventure line. So the decision for Modeka's first laminate clothing was of course made in favor of the Tactel material. For this reason, the Viper LT suit is significantly softer and more comfortable to wear compared to the usual rigid, hard laminate fabrics.

The special features of the Viper LT men's motorcycle jacket from Modeka
Tactel®
The dynamic polyamide specialty fiber Tactel® is used to make garments that are soft, pleasantly smooth, breathable and light. Thus, the Tactel® material from DU PONT® makes it extremely comfortable to wear. Rigorous tests have shown that Tactel® fibers are at least twice as soft and 20 percent lighter than most other fibers. They also dry eight times faster than cotton. Tactel® fibers are not only soft and light, they also have high tear resistance.
Humax®
Humax® is a climate membrane made of polyurethane. Countless pores (1.4 billion per 1 cm2) prevent the large raindrop from penetrating (water column 10,000 mm); the small water vapor molecules in the body's moisture can escape. The Humax® moisture protection thus keeps the body dry on the outside and inside and at the same time warm all around.
SAS-TEC®
Protectors with the highest shock absorption values and the best wearing comfort,
Joint protectors comply with EN-1621-1: 2012, the back protectors with EN 1621-2: 2014.
Dimensionally stable with memory effect: after external forces, the foam returns to its original shape after a short time.
Multi-impact: In contrast to many other damping materials, the foams from SAS-TEC are multi-impact. That means: the protectors are reusable after a fall.
Lightweight: The density of the SAS-TEC foam is around 280 g / l, hard-shell protectors weigh around 1050 g / l.
Adapted damping behavior: The air trapped in the cells of the foam causes progressive damping. The damping performance increases proportionally with the force effects that occur at high speed.
Environmentally friendly: The raw material for foam production is partly made from renewable raw materials. The protectors can easily be disposed of with household waste.
Long service life: Some protector manufacturers only state two to three years for their products - the service life of SAS-TEC foam is around ten years.
Temperature-resistant: Thanks to a special mixture, SAS-TEC foam is temperature-resistant up to around 100 degrees Celsius.
Best wearing comfort: thanks to the high elasticity of the foam
Hand washable: The water absorption is less than 1%, the protectors can therefore be washed by hand without hesitation.
3M Scotchlite ™
In twilight and in the dark, 3M Scotchlite ™ significantly improves the visibility of motorcyclists. Scotchlite ™ reflective materials have an open, very wide-angled reflective system made of catadioptric glass spheres. Other reflective materials, because of their nature, require direct light to function. Scotchlite ™ emits light brilliantly white and tightly bundled back to the light source, even if it does not strike directly. Silver Scotchlite ™ surpasses even the highest European standards in simulated heavy rainfall.
