For many motorcyclists, a motorcycle jacket is the first thing they think of when you ask them about motorcycle clothing. It's an essential part of your motorcycle equipment. Motorcycle jackets protect your upper body using abrasion-resistant material and impact protectors. Most motorcycle jackets are equipped with protectors for your shoulders and elbows. A back protector is included in some cases, but in general you have to buy them as an addition to your jacket. When impact protection for the back is not included, the motorcycle jacket will be prepared for the placement of a back protector. A lot of motorcycle jackets have a removable lining. When it is colder outside, you can easily attach the lining inside the jacket. At high temperatures, you can unzip the lining and take it out. In addition to offering protection, you want your motorcycle jacket to be stylish. Many motorcyclists value this and want their motorcycle jacket to match the style of their motorbike.
If you regularly ride your the motorcycle in high temperatures, such as the summer, then a vented motorcycle jacket is a real must-have. Vented motorcycle jackets keeps your body cool while riding. This allows you to fully focus on the road, traffic and motorcycling. Sporty, leather motorcycle jackets can also provide a cooling element. A lot of leather jackets are perforated.
In winter and autumn you want your motorcycle jacket to meet a number of requirements. A waterproof membrane is not an unnecessary luxury. If you are looking for a 100% waterproof motorcycle jacket, it's in your best interest to choose a jacket with a Gore-Tex membrane. Brands like Alpinestars, REV'IT! and Dainese all work with Gore-Tex. In addition to the fact that Gore-Tex provides a completely waterproof motorcycle jacket, the membrane is also known for its breathability. With low temperatures it is important to wear a warm motorcycle jacket. A motorcycle jacket with a separate thermal lining is ideal for motorcyclists who ride their motorbikes throughout the winter.
The majority of motorcycle jackets are made of leather or textile. Both materials have their own advantages. Leather is more durable than textile, offers the most protection and is therefore very suitable for use on the track. It's not a coincidence that motorcycle racers always wear a full leather motorcycle suit. A sporty, leather motorcycle jacket has a tight fit and over time it will form to the shape of your body. Casual, leather motorcycle jackets are often a bit looser.
In addition to leather, you can also choose for a textile motorcycle jacket. Textile motorcycle clothing is smoother and offers more comfort. A textile jacket often has more functionalities. Think of a removable inner thermal liner, extra pockets and a waterproof (Gore-Tex) membrane. Textile motorcycle jackets, for example, are very suitable for long touring trips and commuting.
