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.

Belstaff Tamar jacket in olive

Wayne: Better fit than Klim

I have had two Klim Marrakesh jackets, they are great except a good fit for me is somewhere between M and L sizes. I used them anyway as they are great jackets. However, I took delivery of this new Belstaff Tamar last week, the larger range of sizes has ensured I have now got a jacket that fits perfectly, and has all the benefits of the Marrakesh, and is super comfortable. It is a XL, and it compares roughly with an L in the Klim Marrakesh sizing. As a bonus, it is also considerably more stylish than the Marrakesh.

Halvarssons ladies Vinvallen jacket in black

Rodders: comfy

Like the trousers this jacket does what the label says. Ive been out in the cold wind and rain and stayed dry and warm. Was out in the heat today and was very comfortable, didnt sweat in this heat with the jacket on, took out the liner and was just perfect.... Halverson for me all the way as their clothing is always comfortable. I got alpine gortex before trying this suit but found they didnt fit well on my female body and they were stiff and uncomfortable. I can honestly say all clothing i have for my bike is mainly Halverson and have no complaints about them at all. A lot of bike gear for women just dont fit well. Halverson ladies selection does !!!

Paul K: Better fit than a Marrakesh

I always fancied a Klim Marrakesh but their sizing just didnt work for me. The small was way too tight and the medium was huge. In addition, I am 5 6 so the Marrakesh was also too long as well. Enter the Belstaff Tamar - I ordered this in a medium and it is perfect for my height and 39 ish chest. To me the fabric is pretty much the same as the Marrakesh but it comes with Diablo armour too, which is definitely an improvement over the Ghost L1 stuff you get on the Klim. As far as styling goes, I definitely prefer the more urban style of the Tanar too. Great jacket and excellent service from ML, as always - 1010
