Drop Liner Membrane Motorcycle Jackets

There are three types of construction for a waterproof, motorcycle jacket. 'Drop-liner', 'laminated jacket' and 'removable liner'.
 
In a drop-liner garment, the membrane hangs independently inside the outer, protective layer. It is not removable, even though many people assume that the 'drop' nomenclature means that it can be dropped out of the jacket. This is incorrect; the membrane is fixed.
 
Drop-liner jackets will keep you dry, and are totally reliable. They normally offer better value than laminated jackets, they are more comfortable, are warmer in the winter, and cooler in hot weather.
 
The downside of a drop-liner jacket is that, in heavy and prolonged rain, water can pass through the outer fabric, and sit between the outer material and the membrane. In certain conditions, this accumulation of moisture can cause a rider to feel cold, because we lose body heat 20 times faster through a wet environment than through a dry one. This phenomenon is known as 'wetting out'; the other issue when this happens is that a jacket can take a long time to dry out.
 
But few of us ride in situations where 'wetting out' will occur. Which is why we are of the view that, for most motorcyclists, a drop-liner jacket is the best solution.

Halvarssons Vinvallen jacket in black

Michael: Good jacket

I dont have anything negative to say about this jacket in terms of functionality,quality or style.ky only gripe is that for me, I always find halvarssons jackets about an inch too long in the sleeves. But that is a small price to pay for a very good jacket.

Belstaff Crosby jacket in sand

JCrider: A move to urban style clothing

This year I am adding urban style riding clothing to my wardrobe. The Belstaff Crosby jacket has style, with tailoring detail and high standard of manufacture. I am biased, but it looks good. As the jacket uses a waxed fabric with a membrane lining, it is wind and water proof. I chose SAND to move away from black and grey. The jacket is central to my new urban style when worn with black protective jeans, tan boots and gloves. The Motorlegends price was very competitive, with fast free delivery. This was my first purchase followed by the second for the boots. I will now be a repeat customer of Motorlegends.

Jeremy: Fabulous quality jacket

My first Belstaff and what a cracker! Beautifully made with great attention to detail, very comfortable and stylish. You do need to size up as they are slim fitting. Got a great deal with a discounted price.
