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.

Verified customer reviews for Textile Motorcycle Jackets

Klim Marrakesh jacket in green

Stephen Calderbank: Quality!

Having read the review I took the plunge and ordered along with the armour upgrade. Delivery as it always is was rapid. The jacket fits exactly as expected but is unbelievably comfortable. I love the way it vents and stretches. You will need to layer for anything other than summer but its the nicest most relaxing jacket I have worn. I barely notice the new armour. Not cheap but oh so worth it!

Halvarssons Lysvik jacket in green

Nathan: Fantastic Jacket, bargain price

This was my first order through Motolegends and it wont be the last. Top notch service, honered a Price Beat for me and delivered to my door the very next day. The Jacket is an absolute steal at this price. It is one of the best looking jackets in my opinion. Very comfortable, easy to wear and not over complicated. I have just returned from a 700 mile round trip to Cornwall. With a few extra layers underneathe, it kept me warm enough at 2 degrees C. As the weather warmed up, I opened some of the jacket vents and it kept me cool. The armour is a bit stiff and bulky but I may replace this with D3O diabolo eventually. With another waterproof overjacket, this really could be used all year round. As a 3 season, fair weather rider, this will easily be my go to Jacket for everything now.

Halvarssons Vinvallen jacket in black

Michael Emery: External side pockets

My only gripe is external side pockets are not very big and have no magnetic flap for extra security. Its a very comfortable jacket though and its been tested in a real downpour. Very good value, its about the same price I paid for a Halvarssons drop liner eight years ago!
