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.

Bought this during the 20 jacket weekend so price wise what a bargain ! Not had a chance to wear it yet as its now winter, the jacket looks good feels good and feels comfortable when wearing. Hopefully Ill update when Ive had a chance to wear it in anger.

Klim Marrakesh jacket in asphalt

Paul Hartley: Very nice

This jacket is soft and comfortable, it flows air . I live in South Alabama where it gets hot and this jacket works as well as it can . Its a lot heavier than I expected but very nice in the more moderate temps 60-85. Motolegends are great as always and look forward to visiting then shop in April. I hope Chris will be there. Thanks again Paul

Rukka ladies Kemi jacket in black / gold

Sally: Rukka Kemi

My old Rukka jacket trousers had served me well over 6yrs of commuting in all weathers so I knew to expect top quality kit from Rukka. I did a lot of research on different brands and materials and decided to go for laminate as one of the gripes I had with my old gear was putting it on again at the end of the day to ride home and it was still heavy and saturated although still waterproof. The kemi offers great value even more so when on sale is very comfortable and I have paired it with the Rukka ladies down jacket for flexability. So far Ive ridden in lots of rain and temps down to 2 degrees and I have been bone dry and warm. I couldnt justify the cost of the Nivala and feel this combo, together with the kemi trousers is a good compromise.
