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.

Halvarssons Arvika jacket in dark grey

BOB: Great Jacket

Appreciate that you included this mesh jacket in your video review and for me the best value along with excellent protection I didn't see the added value for the very expensive Marrakesh

Klim Marrakesh jacket in cool grey

Alistair Sadleir: Jacket Review

I have the Klim Marrakesh jacket and the Rukka Air Vihti jackets. I also have two bikes one for commuting into London and the other to go on tour like the bikes use them for different purposes . Both the jackets are very good the Klim IMO very slightly more airflow and definitely less bulky and is the more comfortable jacket casual jacket to use in town . Its quality fit and ability to wear to and from meetings with jeans suits no longer used these days - The air flow is great and I have upgraded the protection and sometimes I take out the back protection and use a plasma 5 airbag which also works. In the hottest weather heatwave I did have a period wondering if I should have bought the Klim induction but over 25 to about 32 degrees is great . The jacket coupled with a windbreaker for colder mornings also works. The folks @ motolegends again have provided great service and advice.

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.
