Textile Motorcycle Jackets

Leather jackets are for riding in the summer. Wax cotton is more practical than leather in many respects, and can look very cool. But for any form of serious riding, it’s a textile motorcycle jacket that you’re going to need. In the last 20 years, the technology involved in motorcycle clothing has advanced greatly, and nowhere is this more apparent than in textile jackets. A textile jacket doesn’t absorb water like leather, so it is always going to be better in the wet. But a modern textile jacket will often come with features such as a waterproof membrane, a removable thermal-liner, anti-abrasion panelling, waterproof zips, ventilation openings and exhausts, heat reflective coatings, high-vis areas, and so on. It’s a complicated area, and you should seek advice before taking the plunge. If you ride every day, you might want a jacket with a laminated waterproof membrane rather than the drop-liner that appears in most jackets. A laminated jacket is particularly waterproof, and will never ‘wet-out', but laminated jackets can be rather stiff, and so not particularly comfortable to wear.

Verified customer reviews for Textile Motorcycle Jackets

Belstaff Calder jacket in olive

Anthony S: Great looking jacket as well as warm and waterproof

I bought this when it released and fitted the recommended back protector to it A day later I rode 20+ miles in hammering October rain and stayed dry, warm and comfortable throughout. Comfortable, true to size and looks great. The fact it comes with diablo armour too is the icing on the cake as Ive spent a ton upgrading all my other clothing to it! Other manufacturers could learn from this - cant recommend it highly enough. Its not cheap but it feels great value

Klim Marrakesh jacket in teak brown

Gareth: Klim Hit the Bullseye!

I have held back my review until returning from a bike tour of the mountain roads in Gran Canaria. Temperatures were generally in the high twenties and given the narrow roads and endless twisties, I rarely got up to any decent speed. In short, the Klim Marrakesh was superb. Im a big lad, 185cms tall, 130kgs, 50 chest. I bought a 3xl and to be honest its a bit too big. However, when using it with a Klim Zephyr, andor Klim Maverick and in aiding air flow, for me its probably better this way. The build quality is great and as has been said it is non-bike smart enough to wear away from your bike. As Chris advises, I switched to the D30 Diablo armour with a Rheon back protector and would recommend any other buyers to do the same. In sum, great jacket deserving of the hype and the usual fabulous service from Motolegends.
