So awhile back I promised spyshots of our new gear we got the preproduction samples.

It is a bittersweet thing for me because my female model, and employee, Kalaisha Watrous was involved in a horrendous accident the day after this photo shoot.

The story, photos of the bike and a donation fund has been set up at [url]www.Kalaisha.org[/url] and we please ask to do what you can, be they good thoughts and prayers, or actual hard cash donations. We at Corazzo are going to do all we can to help Kalaisha down her very very long road to recovery. She had her final leg surgery yesterday, her facial reconstruction (her arai helmet save her life) will begin on monday or tuesday. Crying or Very sad emoticon

The news story is here

Picture of the bike etc can be seen here:

The bomber and speedway are almost ready for sale. I rode with my 1st bomber last night, I can say it is totally rad. It is very comfortable and the armor and reflective do their jobs, the cordura, built in to the jacket underneath the soft water resistant nylon outershell provides additional abrasion resistance in the elbows and back. The bomber should be avaialable around the 1st of may.

The speedway is pretty cool too. Also armored in the shoulders, elbows and back, it has plenty of reflective and is made of the 1000 denier water resistant probly around the 1st of june.

Both jackets will be priced around $200.

Our next projects include the hoodless, the mesh jacket, and one of the coolest ideas we have ever had, so cool in fact that I cannot share it with you guys yet.

Our messenger bags are coming along as well.

We have found some really bright 500d Cordura for our next run of hoodies, so those of you who called for brighter colors, you gonna gettem!

Bradford,

Thanks for the update on Kalaisha and giving the updated website info for her donation fund and story. It sounds like she is surrounded by loads of friends to try and keep her spirits up. That is great. I will be making a donation by Paypal as I do not have any US Banks near me.

Thanks also for stopping back to give us a look at your upcoming products. I love the Bomber Jacket. I guess that is reflective piping on the front. Does it have any on the back?

Bradford...

The new products look great! I knew they would. Thank you very much for the spy shots!

It never fails to amaze me what a small world we live in. I had read about Kalaisha's accident just yesterday. I had no idea she worked with your company. I hope her recovery is as quick as possible. Everyone here is pulling for her.

Best regards,

Chuck

That black and orange one looks great! I love my Corazzo jacket, but that new one is pretty sexy.
