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.

Klim Induction Pro jacket in grey

Ian: Thinking Riders Mesh Jacket

I bought this to replace my Klim Marrakesh, which just didnt flow enough air for me once the temperature climbed above the mid-twenties, and certainly not once I got into the thirties. The Induction Pro is a more substantial jacket than the Marrakesh and it feels and MotoCap tests demonstrate that it would perform better in an off, and although marginally less comfortable than the Marrakesh overall it really doesnt notice on the road. I find the Induction Pro fine for use without a windproof layer from 22C upwards, and thats on an S1000XR with a short screen, so a modicum of wind protection from the bike but no barn door fairing. Practically speaking the induction has a welcome 8 pockets including one for a phone, so theres plenty of room to stash bits and pieces, and the adjustment straps on the lower arms do a good job of holding the elbow armour in the right place. I experimented with armour options by fitting a set of D3O Diablo protectors in place of the supplied items, but whilst comfortable they werent a huge improvement and their thinner profile made the jacket feel too baggy this gave the armour space to move around and raised doubt as to whether it would stay in the right place in a crash, so I reverted to the original items. To sum up, very happy with my purchase its a well made and substantial feeling garment that flows a good amount of air without my feeling that Im compromising too much on safety. Definitely recommended.

Belstaff Tamar jacket in olive

David: Great bit of Kit

I bought the Tamar to replace an old BMW mesh vented jacket. The Tamar is a lot better in many ways. The armour seems to stay in exactly the right places and the jacket is a very good fit. The weight of the jacket also inspires confidence should something nasty happens. I can see myself wearing it a lot using the layering system Chris is always banging on about. As usual ordering from Motolegends was easy and delivery was the next day. The combination of a good supplier, and a reliable delivery company, is how online shopping should be.

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
