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

Kodge: Ventilated as

So happy with this Jacket, lightweight and extremely comfortable. Incredible ventilation, and understated in black. Watch out for velcro glove closure, it will chafe on the fabric at sleeves

Klim Marrakesh jacket in teak brown

Stuart Wellman: Comfortable AA Jacket

Brilliant jacket, fits well, beautify made, flows loads of air and really light with diablo armour. I like the layering approach so this with wind water proof plus insulation as needed will see me through most of the year.

Klim Baja S4 jacket in monument grey / black

David Miles Griffiths: Klim Baja S4

If you want one of the best hot weather jackets, look no further than the Klim Baja S4. This jacket is a premium piece of kit that provides exceptional air flow but keeps you protected at the same time. Klim market the Baja as an off road jacket but I have upgraded the armour and ride ninety percent on the road and find it incredibly confidence inspiring.
