Motorcycle Jackets

Choosing a motorcycle jacket is probably the most important gear decision you have to make. The huge choice of bike jackets on the market can be bewildering. There are the safety issues to consider - how abrasion resistant is the jacket material; are there reinforced areas; what level is the shoulder and elbow armour; is a back protector included or optional? Then you need to think about the waterproofing and venting properties of the jacket. Will you be riding in the summer or winter or both? These days a textile motorcycle jacket can be just as effective as leather in terms of protection. But leather has no thermal qualities, and is very poor when it comes to keeping the rider dry, as it simply absorbs moisture. Staying safe on a bike is helped when you ride comfortably, and in most circumstances, hot or cold, wet or dry, you'll be more comfortable in a textile jacket. Textile jackets  also tend to come equipped with a whole host of technical features that often don't make their way onto leather motorcycle jackets. Choose leather if your priority is looking good, or if you’re riding on the track. Choose textile for commuting and touring.

Klim Induction Pro jacket in grey

Ian: Thinking Riders Mesh Jacket

I bought this to replace my Klim Marrakesh, which just didnt flow enough air for me once the temperature climbed above the mid-twenties, and certainly not once I got into the thirties. The Induction Pro is a more substantial jacket than the Marrakesh and it feels and MotoCap tests demonstrate that it would perform better in an off, and although marginally less comfortable than the Marrakesh overall it really doesnt notice on the road. I find the Induction Pro fine for use without a windproof layer from 22C upwards, and thats on an S1000XR with a short screen, so a modicum of wind protection from the bike but no barn door fairing. Practically speaking the induction has a welcome 8 pockets including one for a phone, so theres plenty of room to stash bits and pieces, and the adjustment straps on the lower arms do a good job of holding the elbow armour in the right place. I experimented with armour options by fitting a set of D3O Diablo protectors in place of the supplied items, but whilst comfortable they werent a huge improvement and their thinner profile made the jacket feel too baggy this gave the armour space to move around and raised doubt as to whether it would stay in the right place in a crash, so I reverted to the original items. To sum up, very happy with my purchase its a well made and substantial feeling garment that flows a good amount of air without my feeling that Im compromising too much on safety. Definitely recommended.

Belstaff Tamar jacket in olive

David: Great bit of Kit

I bought the Tamar to replace an old BMW mesh vented jacket. The Tamar is a lot better in many ways. The armour seems to stay in exactly the right places and the jacket is a very good fit. The weight of the jacket also inspires confidence should something nasty happens. I can see myself wearing it a lot using the layering system Chris is always banging on about. As usual ordering from Motolegends was easy and delivery was the next day. The combination of a good supplier, and a reliable delivery company, is how online shopping should be.

Alpinestars Tech-Air 5 Plasma airbag vest

Graham: Sizing

Great item, lightweight and unrestricted but choosing the right size was difficult. According to the Alpinestars chart I was a 4XL but reviews on line suggested sizing down so to be sure I ordered a 3 xl and a 4xl. I am a big lad, 6ft 2inchs,112kgs, big shoulders, large frame and a beer belly. Both arrived and the 4XL was baggy, the back protector rode up to the base of my neck and it didnt feel right.The 3xl is a snug fit, which is how its supposed to be, stretch panels under arms and around gut allow plenty of movement, back protector is comfortable and stays in place.. I sent the 4 xl back , having tried it on once and had a full refund within a week.. airbag is very comfortable, although hot in this current weather which is unavoidable.I wear it with the Alpinestars Halo vented jacket which has removable outer sleeves leaving elbow and shoulder armour in place.. I have worn it for about 1500 miles in the past 3 weeks and I am getting confident in it.. at first I was unsure if it would go off by accident, getting on off, refuelling etc but has got to the point I ha ve forgotten I am wearing it. Great bit of modern safety kit ..I ordered spare canister just in case. Great service from motolegends as always.. my experience suggest size down from the alpinestars chart
