Leather motorcycle jackets with a wide range of different properties

Whether you are riding in the city or touring – a leather motorcycle jacket is a key component of your protective gear. In addition to their stylish aesthetic, high-quality motorcycle jackets also offer the following practical features:

• Abrasion resistance: The robust leather provides outstanding protection against abrasions and grazes in the event of a fall. This ensures maximum safety for your skin and your body.
• Protectors: Protectors on the shoulders, elbows and back absorb and deflect impact energy. Thanks to this feature, the protectors offer improved protection from impact injuries in addition to reinforcing crucial areas in the body.
• Airbag systems: Some leather jackets are already equipped with an integrated airbag, which inflates in the event of an accident and protects important areas of the body, such as the back, chest and neck. Some jackets are designed so that an airbag system can be retrofitted.
• Weather resistance: High-quality leather is naturally water-resistant. Thanks to this property, it protects you from wind and rain. It also remains breathable at all times.
• Comfort: The ergonomic design, preformed sleeves and flexible panels ensure a comfortable fit and unrestricted freedom of movement, allowing you to fully concentrate on the riding experience.
• Ventilation: Integrated ventilation openings or perforated leather areas ensure good air circulation. This helps you to keep cool even when temperatures start to rise.
• Storage space: Pockets with Velcro fasteners or zip fasteners provide practical storage space for personal items, such as your keys, wallet/purse or mobile phone.

FAQ about leather motorcycle jackets

Which types of leather are most suitable for leather motorcycle jackets?

Leather motorcycle jackets are generally produced from robust types of leather such as cowhide, buffalo leather or kangaroo leather. These types of leather are ideal for motorcycle jackets because they are incredibly resistant to abrasion and offer a high level of protection against injuries in the event of a fall. High-quality leather also lasts a long time and is resistant to wind and weather.

How do I properly maintain and care for my leather motorcycle jacket?

You should regularly clean your leather motorcycle jacket with a damp cloth and a mild cleaning solution to remove dirt and dust. Using a cleaning solution that is specifically designed for leather helps to ensure that the leather remains supple and protects it against drying out. If the leather jacket is not used for a long period of time, you should store it in a cool, dry place and make sure to keep it out of direct sunlight and away from moisture.

What alternatives to leather jackets are available?

Textile motorcycle jackets made of robust synthetic materials such as polyester and aramid are a popular alternative for motorcycle riders. Just like leather jackets, they offer a high level of protection against injuries and adverse weather conditions. Jackets made of textile are often even lighter in weight and even more breathable than leather jackets. On some models, features like a removable thermal lining or ventilation openings provide additional comfort when riding. Incidentally: For those who are passionate about animal welfare but still like the look of leather, we have a wide range of alternative jackets made of artificial leather to choose from.

Why is the protection class of a motorcycle jacket important?

Motorcycle clothing is considered personal protective equipment. Therefore, it must meet certain requirements. These requirements are regulated in the European Standard EN 17092:2020. This standard differentiates between the five protection classes AAA, AA, A, B and C. The protection class marking provides information about the type of protection that the garment provides and its intended use. For example, garments in the AAA class offer the highest level of protection from abrasion. This class includes motorcycle jackets and other garments that are intended to be used on the racetrack. In contrast, in protection class C, abrasion resistance is not relevant. This class focuses solely on impact protection.
