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

Rukka Voyage-R jacket in black

ALC: Excellent

Replaced a 20 year old Rukka laminate that was still going strong, this jacket oozes quality. Needs a few rides to bed in but has some great features you wonder how you did without. Usual 1010 service from ML, a pleasure as ever.

Klim Marrakesh jacket in green

Brad Wyant: Comfortable, Layerable

The Klim Marrakesh jacket is well-described by the video MotoLegends produced about it and the layering potential is excellent. I have a Helly Hansen windproof sailing jacket that I wear when I ride my bicycle my primary commuting vehicle, and it fits comfortably underneath this jacket to keep me warm enough for a sunny fall day. Luckily, here in the midwest of the US, we havent hit any truly cold winter days yet I am confident, however, that one more layer will be enough to keep me warm. On a sunny day, its fantastic. I also love the style of the jacket, it looks rad and it doesnt feel burdensome off the bike.
