Textile Motorcycle Jackets

Leather jackets are for riding in the summer. Wax cotton is more practical than leather in many respects, and can look very cool. But for any form of serious riding, it’s a textile motorcycle jacket that you’re going to need. In the last 20 years, the technology involved in motorcycle clothing has advanced greatly, and nowhere is this more apparent than in textile jackets. A textile jacket doesn’t absorb water like leather, so it is always going to be better in the wet. But a modern textile jacket will often come with features such as a waterproof membrane, a removable thermal-liner, anti-abrasion panelling, waterproof zips, ventilation openings and exhausts, heat reflective coatings, high-vis areas, and so on. It’s a complicated area, and you should seek advice before taking the plunge. If you ride every day, you might want a jacket with a laminated waterproof membrane rather than the drop-liner that appears in most jackets. A laminated jacket is particularly waterproof, and will never ‘wet-out', but laminated jackets can be rather stiff, and so not particularly comfortable to wear.

Rukka Voyage-R jacket in black

Steve: Superb Kit

I bought this jacket from Motolegends November 24. We all know of the legendary Rukka build quality, so Ill not comment on that. My story started with the intention of buying the best impact and abrasion protection I could afford for motorway riding. These journeys are routinely 250 plus miles and around 4 hours at a time. I wanted the Kingsley but could not afford the kings ransom for the monarch of the Rukka range. Eventually I opted for the Voyage-R, and it was discounted. I know the guys at Motolegends are in love with the Nivala range, but the often-hailed comfort factor was not an incentive for me as I dont ride out and wander round coastal villages or places like Bluewater. With this in mind I really dont worry about the Nivala comfort factor. I actually like the stiffer armoured feel that the Voyage-R offers. I dont have a need for lots of ventilation, as I dont intend to use this for summer riding. I use my other gear and bikes for that. So, in effect this jacket is perfect for me almost too good to use on our crappy roads. Im now saving for the Kingsley pants. I tried a pair, and I really love the fit, perfect, so standby Motolegends.

Belstaff Temple jacket in olive

Jon: Good quality.

My second Belstaff purchase in 48 years! Bought for summer use so not used yet. What I can say is top quality and stylish. It will obviously be very cool on those hot days. Went for 3XL fits me perfectly. Im 6 and 45 chest but broad shouldered. I had to go for 4XL when I recently purchased the Goodwood jacket.

Halvarssons Arvika jacket in dark grey

Steve M: Marrakesh beater?

I bought this summer jacket as a xmas present to myself so havent worn it yet, as too cold here in Wales... But I can say its very well made, looks quite protective, AA standard. Should be a good replacement for my last Halverson summer jacket which has lasted at least 100k, and its different from the Klim Marrakesh crowd..
