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.

Klim Marrakesh jacket in asphalt
Very good in warm or hot weather. Lightweight and comfortable. Not at all restraining, gives great ease of movement. Well pleased with it.
Klim Marrakesh jacket in cool grey
Bought this jacket a few weeks ago for the warm summer we are having and I have to say it is fantastic. It is so comfortable it almost like you are not wearing anything, yet it has protection in the right places which doesnt move around unlike my old Knox summer jacket. It also has good pockets and is a really good fit for me. Currently Im wearing my Zephyr under the Marrakesh in the mornings on the way into work just to keep the early morning chill off, then in the afternoon on the way home I just have the Marrakesh on its own. Fabulous jacket.
