It’s Holy Grail time again! Admittedly, first I did once the MOVE was unboxed, was put on the jacket and the harness and ride up and down my hallway on the scooter for an hour. But I did manage to take it off long enough for some photos. Enjoy. Click below for more pics.

Designed by Moreno Ferrari, the C.P. Company Urban Protection MOVE is truly one of the icons of SPW design . While the Metropolis is more known, think of it as the work horse of the UP collection while the MOVE is the show horse.

Above: MOVE description from the cpcompany.com archive section.

For those that are less familiar with vintage SPW. The Urban Protection, MOVE is not a MOVE unless it is made up of the jacket, waistcoat, and scooter. Without the scooter and harness its just a GLOVE jacket.

MOVE Scooter. The scooter is the swiss designed Micro, and is collapsible and stowed in the large back pocket of the waistcoat. There is a CP Urban Protection sticker on the front.

MOVE Waistcoat(Harness). Some have asked whether the harness shown in my photos of the Metropolis was a MOVE harness. It is similar but different and cannot hold the scooter. The last picture shows a comparison between the two harness.

    Hi there, I have one of those CP Company Bodywarmer in mint condition, slightly different to the one in the pics, it zips up to higher, multi pocket, even the back. The CP Company logo is velcroed.Do you know what is the current ongoing price? Cheers Mart

    Not my cup of tea! Quite military styled as CP is intended to be of course
