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.

Rukka Air Vihti jacket in grey

Simon: Great summer jacket

Im one of those people that falls between sizes in the Marrakesh, so I looked towards this Rukka Air Vihti. It really is everything the chap says it is. The airflow on an unfaired bike is huge. The armour in the jacket is huge but comfortable. Its a shame that Rukka dont include a back protector, but thats easily remedied with the excellent Rheon item. It does look more like a bike jacket than the Marrakesh but its still a smart looking jacket. I found the sizing comes up a little large and went down a size. The waist adjustment is great for layering. Plenty of pockets too. Im looking forward to using this jacket on a two week tour of southern Spain later in the year.

Belstaff Tamar jacket in olive

Gerry: Summer jacket

It betters the Marrakesh in comfort and weight . More focused on being a great summer airflow jacket thats light and stylish , would thoroughly recommend , but beware of the fit on belstaff they may offer more sizes but they are in a narrower band , my 5xl Belstaff is about the same size as a 2xl Marrakesh

Klim Marrakesh jacket in teak brown

LT: Not a lot more to add

I dont think I can add much to what Chris has already been said about this jacket. Its comfortable, flows a load of air and its stylish. I wish I had bought one years ago. Very pleased with the purchase.
