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

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..

Klim Latitude jacket in stealth black

S. Targett: Good jacket

I bought this to replace a 5 year old Halvarssons jacket which was no longer as waterproof as I would like given I ride year round and regularly travel from Gloucestershire to Northumberland on my bike. So far it has proven to be totally waterproof, comfortable to wear and quite windproof. With suitable layers beneath Ive done 350 miles in gale driven rain and remained dry and warm. My only issue is that although there are zips at the end of the sleeves I still cant get winter gloves inside the sleeve and the ends of the sleeves are quite hard and have a tendency to dig in to my wrist unless I make sure a mid layer is protecting my skin. Otherwise its excellent.
