Motocross jackets: Protect yourself in style on every track

Sometimes, things can get a bit messy when riding motocross: Dirt, mud, heaps of adrenaline and lots of fun – that’s what motocross is all about. And that’s why it is essential to have the right MX jacket! Motocross jackets offer a combination of protection, comfort and design features to meet the requirements of even the most discerning riders.

Robust materials for maximum safety

When selecting motorcycle clothing for sports such as motocross, safety is always the number one priority. Robust materials play a crucial role here, as they can help to protect riders from injury. That is why motocross jackets are made using special materials that offer high levels of durability and protection.

• Modern motocross jackets are frequently made of robust synthetic materials, such as nylon and polyester. These materials are lighter than leather but still provide good abrasion resistance and protect the rider against wind and weather. They often feature additional reinforcements in areas that are subjected to particularly high stress, in order to increase their durability even further.
• Motocross jackets designed to provide high levels of water resistance and breathability are often made with membranes such as Gore-Tex. These membranes are waterproof and windproof yet still breathable. This means they wick moisture away from your body and transport it to the outside while also repelling water from the outside.
• Cordura is a particularly durable nylon material that is also used in a wide range of high-performance motocross jackets. It stands out thanks to its excellent abrasion resistance and tear resistance. Despite this, it still offers flexibility and freedom of movement. Cordura is also water-repellent and dries quickly. This makes it an ideal material for changeable weather conditions.

Integrated protectors for maximum protection

Integrated motocross protectors can be the difference between a minor fall and a fall that results in serious injuries. These special protectors are strategically positioned to protect the rider in the event of an accident and to ensure safety on the track. Protectors in motocross jackets are designed to absorb and the impact energy and distribute it away from the rider in the event of a crash or fall. They are frequently made of high-strength plastics or shock-absorbing materials. Alternatively, there are also motocross protectors that are worn under an MX jacket or MX jersey. In this case, the rider combines the jacket or the jersey with a protector vest or a protector shirt.

• Shoulder and elbow protectors protect these joints from injuries and abrasion in the event of crashes. They are flexible enough to avoid restricting the rider’s freedom of movement but still offer effective protection against blunt trauma.
• Back protectors are often designed as plates or pads that cover the entire back. They absorb impact energy and protect the spinal column and spinal cord from injury in the event of falls and collisions.
• Chest protectors offer additional protection in the chest area and play a particularly important role in protecting riders in the event of serious falls.
• Many MX jackets are also compatible with neck braces, which are frequently worn by motocross riders to provide additional protection for the neck.

Practical features and designs to suit any taste

Motocross jackets also offer a range of practical features and designs that provide increased comfort and functionality on the track.

• Air vents: Modern motocross jackets are equipped with advanced ventilation systems designed to optimize airflow. Vents positioned in strategic areas, such as under the arms or on the back, ensure that riders can stay cool and dry even when pushing their bodies to the limit.
• Ergonomic fits: Another important feature of motocross jackets are the ergonomic fits, which ensure maximum comfort and mobility. Motocross jackets are designed to provide a snug fit without restricting the rider’s freedom of movement. The adjustable sleeve cuffs, collar and waist allow you to adjust the jacket to suit your individual needs.
• Reflective elements: These elements increase your visibility in low light conditions and improve safety.
• Internal hydration system with hydration bladder: An integrated hydration system allows riders to carry a hydration bladder in their jacket to ensure that they can stay hydrated during long rides or races without having to stop.
• Pockets: Outer chest pockets and inner pockets offer secure storage space for personal items such as your cell phone, wallet or keys.
• Removable inner lining: A removable inner lining makes a jacket even more versatile, as the rider can adapt the jacket to suit the current weather conditions.

FAQ about MX jackets

How do I find the right fit when choosing a motocross jacket?

When choosing a motocross jacket, it is important to use the size tables from the relevant manufacturer as a guide to help you find the right fit. These tables serve as a rough guide, as the sizes can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

A motocross jacket should be as snug as possible without restricting or limiting the rider’s freedom of movement. If a jacket is too loose, then this can have a negative impact on the strategic protection of certain parts of the body that the jacket is designed to provide, while a jacket that is too tight can be uncomfortable and can restrict the rider’s freedom of movement. Due to the importance of the fit, many jackets are equipped with adjustable straps to enable a customizable fit.

How do I properly maintain and care for a motocross jacket?

Proper care is important to ensure that you are able to enjoy your motocross jacket for a long time to come. Below are a few care tips:

• Read and follow the care instructions on the label in your jacket. Here you will find the recommended washing temperature, the washing process and additional information.
• If your MX jacket can be washed in the washing machine, remove visible dirt and mud first with a soft brush or a cloth before putting it in the washing machine. If possible, remove the inner lining and the protectors so that these can be cleaned or treated separately. Pay particular attention to dirty areas such as the sleeves and the shoulders. Thoroughly clean the inside and outside of the jacket.
• Carefully check your motocross jacket for signs of wear and potential damage. Pay close attention to any cracks, loose seams or faulty zips. Repair any damage before washing your jacket.
• Fasten all zips and Velcro fasteners and also empty the inner pockets to ensure optimal cleaning.
• After washing, allow the jacket to air dry. Avoid exposing your jacket to direct sunlight or heat sources. Then store your jacket in a dry, well-ventilated location to avoid mold formation and unpleasant odors.

Are all motocross jackets waterproof?

Not all motocross jackets are waterproof. The level of waterproofness of an MX jacket depends on various factors, such as the material used, the design and the specific design features. Some motocross jackets are designed with waterproof materials such as Gore-Tex or with special coatings. These materials repel moisture and keep riders dry in adverse weather conditions. These jackets are often designed for wet conditions or for offroad riding, where protection against rain and dirt are of the utmost importance.
