Motorcycle Jackets

The timeless motorcycle jacket: You’re pretty much guaranteed to look good when wearing one. Of course, a century of spirited riding has helped in the development of jackets that are safer, more comfortable and super stylish. Be sure to read up on those improvements here, then start checking out the ways to size and buy the best riding jacket. It’s all part of the process of picking up a new piece of apparel that’s going to stick with you for years.

Motorcycle Jackets for all Riders

Everyone needs a discipline-appropriate riding jacket: men, women, adventure tourers, sport bike riders, cruiser owners and even snowmobile enthusiasts. Cycle Gear has a carefully curated selection of jackets that run the gamut in moto protection, comfort and performance. (You don’t even need to ride to buy one! Don’t worry — we won’t tell.)

As with boots, the right motorcycle jacket for the job is the one that best lines up with your riding style. Some companies offer track gear that’s race-ready, even incorporating MotoGP-proven features. If you need a sport leather jacket that’s going to streamline things while keeping you safe in a spill or slide, there’s plenty of pro-level apparel to pick from. The traditional leather jacket many associate with motorcyclists can provide a slimming fit, as well, accompanied by modern design elements that boost this jacket above fashion statement. These leathers will break in and simply wear better over time but in the “looks” department, it’s hard to beat.

Do-it-all jackets that’ll work in the spring and summer months are often mesh, breathable, adjustable and may feature reflective or neon components that look right at home on various street riders. Textile jackets are in the same vein, offering a step up in protection and usability thanks to pockets for protectors and wind-proofing inserts. Wear ‘em when the weather gets tough and you’ll get an automatic extension on motorcycle season.
