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.

Belstaff Trialmaster jacket in mahogany

Stephen: Updated review

I have now used the jacket over 3K miles and can confirm it is definitely waterproof even in prolonged heavy rain.

Belstaff Brooklands jacket in sand

John: Top quality

This jacket is superbly made, it oozes quality. Im very impressed with the styling and practicality on the bike.. Its expensive ,but itll last a lifetime. Im a 42 chest, was unsure of the sizing, contacted Motolegends, they advised the XL, with a back protector, its a perfect fit. Well done Motolegends again.

Belstaff Crosby jacket in black

Mark: Great Jacket even better service

The Belstaff Crosby jacket is exactly how I hoped a Waxed motorcycle jacket would fit. Its light enough that doesnt restrict your movement and enough presence to give you the assurance, should unfortunate event happens. The fit is very modern and flattering. If you thinking of layering up under the jacket, try it first and maybe size up, As for the Motorlegend customer service, I cannot praise enough how helpful they were. Thank you.
