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.
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.
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.
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.
