Summer Motorcycle Jackets

When the temperature hits the high 20s centigrade it is normally time to find a jacket without a waterproof membrane. Basically, any jacket with a waterproof membrane is likely to prove to hot in even the UK summer. Even with vents, the waterproof membrane acts as a windproof membrane and will stop the breeze reaching (and cooling) the body. 

We stock a variety of non-waterproof motorcycling jackets from a single A rated mesh jacket suitable for urban riding to something like the AA rated Klim Marrakesh jacket which can be worn touring the world (or just the county)! In truth there are now three varieties of Klim jacket that are suitable for the very highest temperatures offering airflow and protection. New for 2025, there are now two Rukka jackets that are right up there in competition to Klim.

Of course, the majority of leather jackets also do not have a waterproof membrane (although a few do) but they are not necessarily the most breathable option for the very hottest weather.

What is a good summer motorcycle jacket?

In our view, the best summer motorcycle jacket does not have a waterproof membrane. But, you must also have impact protection and abrasion resistance. So, a jacket that breathes well needs to be made from a technical fabric so that it still have protective qualities. The best armour is a soft and pliable armour which can breathe and new for 2025 D3O Diablo definitely helps on this score.

Verified customer reviews for Summer Motorcycle Jackets

Belstaff Tamar jacket in black

Ant: Best. Jacket. Ever.

Just like the reviews say - if the Marrakesh doesnt fit you this one might. It did. And, can I say, I am a little bit over having Klim everything as well so this was a really nice change. Super comfortable, defies description, perfect fit. Just brilliant.

Klim Marrakesh jacket in teak brown

Graham: Possibly the nicest jacket I own

I expected the high build quality and the good airflow, but I didnt realise how comfortable this would be. The stretch really makes a difference. This is actually more comfortable than some of my non-motorcycle jackets, and better looking than some of them too. Very pleased.

Brema Silver Vase jacket in green

Peter: Super Cool Jacket

Recently took advantage of a Sunday sale to buy another one of these jackets. As usual the service was 5 star. I have ridden 2 summers in the Brema Vase jacket and its my favourite jacket. I think its quite an unusual jacket because of how its constructed. Its highly breathable, stretchy and extremely flexible. Great in hot weather. Without armour you can roll this jacket up and stuff it in a rucksack ! I dont know of any other AA level Jacket you can do this with. I wear this jacket over my Knox armoured shirt so I cannot comment on how the jacket fits with armour in it. But without armour the jacket is perfect as an over jacket because of its flexibility. It fits perfectly. It works really well in a layer system. The jacket is stylish and still looks good after extensive use. Its of cause not waterproof but I just add a Scott Held waterproof over the top. As an added bonus the jacket works great as a casual jacket off the bike. A good destination jacket. As far as sizing Im 6 ft 42 in chest and normal wear LXL but needed to go up one size to a 2XL. Hope this review helps but Im sure any questions Chris and his team will help. Customer service is as always excellent. Thank you.
