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.

Halvarssons Vinvallen jacket in black

Norton: Excellent value

Had the jacket and pants for 3 months now and very happy with both. Very comfortable to wear and also keeps me warm in cooler weather. In a recent thunderstorm it did wet out but I was dry and it then dried out really quickly. I am very happy with the Vinvallen jacket and pants.

Klim Marrakesh jacket in asphalt

Graeme: Police do your homework

Got stopped by a copper for riding while standing on my pegs. He thought it was illegal. When he discovered I was riding legal, he queried my choice of clothing, the lack of protection there of. A tracksuit top and jeans are not sensible clothing choices for motorbikes he scolded. Wrong twice in quick succession? Klim Marakesh with Diablo armor. Superb! Light, casual, airy and stretchy. Cool in more ways that one.

Klim Marrakesh jacket in cool grey

Stan Hall: Excellent

Bought this jacket a few weeks ago for the warm summer we are having and I have to say it is fantastic. It is so comfortable it almost like you are not wearing anything, yet it has protection in the right places which doesnt move around unlike my old Knox summer jacket. It also has good pockets and is a really good fit for me. Currently Im wearing my Zephyr under the Marrakesh in the mornings on the way into work just to keep the early morning chill off, then in the afternoon on the way home I just have the Marrakesh on its own. Fabulous jacket.
