There are a bewildering variety of motorcycle
jackets on the market today. A simple search on any major
search engine for 'motorcycle jackets' will yield thousands of
results, and hundreds of mail order companies eager to sell you a
motorcycle jacket. With all the choices and sometimes
contradictory information, it's not always easy for a motorcycle
enthusiast to select a jacket that will suit their needs. What
should you look for in a motorcycle jacket for protection,
comfort, and durability? What kind of riding do you do? What is
the weather like where you live? Do you prefer leather, mesh,
or textile motorcycle jackets? Thinking carefully about
these questions can help you make a better decision as to which
motorcycle jacket is best for you. For some people, a leather
motorcycle jacket is the best option. However, textile and mesh
motorcycle jackets have grown increasingly popular in recent
years, due to advances in motorcycle jacket material technology.
Textile jackets offer much improved abrasion resistance and better
armor than the models of a few years ago.
Leather
motorcycle jackets continue to be the most popular jackets.
However, not all leather motorcycle jackets are created equally. Many riders
are not familiar with the differences between goat skin and real
cowhide, or why some leather is drum-dyed. The protective quality
of a proper leather motorcycle jacket, as well as its durability,
is significantly better than a 'fashion' motorcycle jacket
purchased at the mall. The bottom line is that leather
motorcycle jackets continue to rank at the top in terms of
motorcycle jacket sales.
Mesh motorcycle
jackets are becoming a popular choice for riders looking for
maximum ventilation in warm weather, while retaining some degree
of protection. Some mesh jackets feature zip-out inner liners that
help extend the usefulness of the jacket in cooler temperatures.
It is important to select the right
size jacket. We see too many riders out on the road, wearing
jackets too big for them. A proper fitting motorcycle jacket is
designed to fit you correctly when you are on the bike, not
walking around! Too much excess material in the chest area will
allow the jacket to bunch up and flap around in the wind. Be
certain to refer to the manufacturer's motorcycle jacket size
charts if you are unsure what size motorcycle jacket to order. As
helpful as size charts are, they are a general guide and not
absolute. Our staff is available via phone and email
for assistance with sizing or any other questions and
concerns you might have when selecting a motorcycle jacket.
