MACNA AYTEE JACKET - URBAN NIGHT EYE REVIEW
Kobie from our Yatala store talks about the jacket that he personally uses - the Macna Aytee Jacket. This jacket is a technical wonder! We'll be covering all the features that make this jacket a must-have for any rider - Night Eye Technology, 3-layer construction, pockets galore and its fit!
Macna's Night Eye Technology
The revolutionary Night Eye technology will take the visibility of motorcyclists at night to a higher level. On the outer shell layer, there are Night Eye Panels all around to boost your visibility in the dark. Common grey by day, incredibly luminous at night: when placed in the range of a car’s headlights, it’ll light up completely! Microscopic glass beads are integrated into the Night Eye fabric and work as small satellite dishes. Even the smallest amount of light will be reflected right back to the source by these tiny mirrors.

Layers on Layers
The Aytee is a waterproof all-season jacket that will suit any weather. It features three layers that zip together in the wrists and around the back and shoulders.
The first layer is the outer shell is made of a synthetic ripstop polyester shell has a rubberised, stretchy feel and is semi-water-resistant and highly breathable. It also features “Nighteye” technology panels for maximum visibility at night.
The second layer is a Raintex waterproof liner that's really thin and ultra-lightweight to keep you dry in the rain.
The final layer is a warm thermal quilted material that is not a vest but a full-length layer with sleeves.
Both these layers are fully detachable. There are also two chest vents and a back vent for extra cooling.
