Ok, so it’s not pink, but this has to be the cutest armored jacket I have ever seen: The Armadillo Scooter Wear Scarlet Mac. I heard about it thanks to Chelsea at Scoot Richmond, who wrote about it in her store’s newsletter. I wrote to ask her more about it, and she reports:

[It's] a jacket I’d DEFINITELY buy if I didn’t already have 2 red riding jackets, hehe.

ADORABLE.  OMG.  Everyone that puts it on looks amazing.

Sizing is much less generous than the parka.  Apparently the parkas are made with Northern Europeans/English in mind, and the macintosh is more for the Southern European tiny girls.  That applies to the weather that it is appropriate for as well.  It does not have a removable liner, and as such is basically a spring/fall/wet summer day jacket.  Definitely not warm enough for all winter use unless you were in a snowsuit underneath.

Decent waterproofing combined with ingenious button placement will keep the wearer dry in most weather.  I wouldn’t test it out in a deluge or anything.

The length is REALLY nice, especially when combined with a wet seat.

The sleeves have thumbie holes in the knit cuff, hooray!  The real sleeve of the jacket almost covers that bit up, but it’s a nice feature to keep cold air from blowing up your sleeves and such.

Did I mention that’s it’s adorable?

It’s available from the company in the UK for £112.00, or drop by Scoot Richmond and try one on. The Mac comes in a black men’s version, and Armadillo also makes a very cool armored scooter parka.
