It was a unique experience of sharing and above all fun. Together with Riccardo Marchetto (Clover) we met over 100 motorcyclists from VHC to present the 2024 collection and to talk about motorcycles
March 27, 2024
We previewed Clover's 2024 collection through the eyes of those who create it with love and those who wear it, with a special focus on two innovative products for the Adventure and Touring clothing scene.
A selection curated for enthusiasts, who have experienced first-hand the essence of style and technology characteristic of the Vicenza company. Immersed in the special atmosphere of the VHC venue, located in via Tezze di Cereda 40 in Cornedo Vicentino, we spent an unforgettable day with our readers. This exclusive venue, made up of 11 containers welded together and coming from every corner of the world, is a true treasure chest of travel stories and good taste. A place set up in motorcycle style, which now houses historic motorbikes and the extraordinary collection of Clover products. VHC is not only the physical location of this event, but also the symbol of a special connection with Clover.
During the event, Andrea and Riccardo together with Federico, the ingenious creator of this reality, revealed the details as well as passionately sharing the deep roots of their collaboration. The day was enlivened by a rich breakfast offered by Clover and VHC, with coffee, brioches and tarts for all the enthusiasts who arrived here by motorbike from all over northern Italy.

Clover's 2024 news
The Vicenza company has unveiled two products that will surely be much appreciated by motorcyclists.
The GTS-5 WP is an innovative idea of a touring and adventure jacket, which adapts completely to the body. Each layer is in fact composed of elastic materials that adapt to movement needs. Starting from the outer jacket, where the DURATEK-9 RIPSTOP stretch material guarantees mobility in the most stressed points such as the waist, shoulders and elbows, elements stressed during riding. The membrane, which is normally considered the non-deformable part of the garment, moves with you, while maintaining the water protection guaranteed by the AQUAZONE® MEMBRANE, Clover®'s choice for years to guarantee waterproofness to its users. A difference that is even more accentuated when used outdoors to shield from sudden downpours. In fact, here the membrane also surpasses the normal waterproof one not only in terms of breathability but also in the user's ability to move. A different experience, a jacket that does not oppose the user's movements in the saddle, but follows them, accentuating our feeling of riding freedom. Eight ventilation vents and hidden air corridors. The idea is to create a jacket under the jacket made of air to face the hottest climates, the air entering numerous points flows inside the garment where it is distributed by the 3D mesh ventilation panels that develop under the entire surface of the garment with the task of bringing fresh air from the waterproof front pockets to the large rear pocket in a single, uninterrupted cushion of air.
The SAVANA-4 WP is the new ADV/touring solution which, with all the latest technologies such as the in&out membrane, the DMS double membrane system and the possibility of opening 6 ventilations, will have no problems tackling any itinerary. A robust product, but at the same time comfortable thanks to the new reinforced Ripstop materials which at the same time are also elastic, guaranteeing protection and comfort. To guarantee ventilation even on the hottest days, without giving up the protection of a product designed and created by the collaboration between Clover and companies in the ITALIAN territory, in order to guarantee maximum control and the highest standards. The idea is to create a jacket under the jacket, made of air to deal with warmer climates. The air entering numerous points flows inside the garment where it is distributed by the 3D mesh ventilation panels which develop under the entire surface of the garment with the task of bringing fresh air inside the entire jacket and not only where exposed directly to the wind.
