Waterproof Armored Trench Jacket

Hot on the heels of Kate’s support of LA based Scooter Girls, during our Gear Up! interview on wearing the right safety gear on the road, we have great news from the West coast: The company has unveiled its first much-awaited Fall/Winter collection of the first ever protective gear for women that puts fashion first.

Every item in their GoGo Gear collection features fully armored (CE approved) shoulders and elbow armor. Abrasion resistant fabric and enhanced visibility using retro-reflective fabric in the details such as cuffs and hems.

Scooter Girls founder Arlene Battishill took up scootering relatively recently during the gas hikes of 2008 only to quickly find she couldn’t be a fashionista and ride at the same time. Inspired by scooter fashions available to women in Italy, she was inspired to start her own line here in the United States.

Following the initial launch of the GoGo Gear line, Scooter Girls are busy at work on the upcoming 360 line of reversible retro-reflective apparel that is designed to increase visibility from all angles at night. Wear it to the office during the day (or night out) and reverse it for the ride home.

Stay tuned for more announcements regarding availability. In the meantime you can check out the preview of the Fall/Winter collection by visiting www.scooter-girls.com. You can also follow Scooter Girls through their twitter feed.
