Gore-Tex Motorcycle Jackets

Gore-Tex motorcycle jackets offer waterproof, windproof and breathable protection for everything from a wet Monday morning commute to a fortnight’s touring. At Motolegends, our selection includes men’s and ladies’ options from Rukka, Klim, Dainese, Held and Richa. Whether you ride throughout the year or want to be prepared when the weather turns, there’s plenty to choose from. Of course, finding the right jacket involves rather more than looking for a Gore-Tex label.

For regular commuting and long days in the saddle, our Rukka motorcycle jackets are well worth a look. Our Klim motorcycle jackets include the Carlsbad, which brings an adventure-touring approach with plenty of ventilation and scope to adjust your layers underneath. Across the range, you’ll find different fits, levels of insulation and venting arrangements to suit different riders.

Construction matters, too. In a Gore-Tex laminated motorcycle jacket, the membrane is bonded to the outer fabric, helping reduce water absorption and drying time after prolonged rain. A Gore-Tex drop-liner jacket has a separate waterproof membrane inside the outer shell and will often feel softer and more supple. Both constructions can keep you dry; the differences become more relevant when you’re spending hours in the rain or putting the jacket back on the following morning.

And remember, waterproofing is only part of being comfortable on the bike. The right motorcycle base layers, appropriate insulation and a fit that works in your riding position all make a difference. Tell us how you ride, and we’ll help you choose a Gore-Tex jacket that makes sense for you.
