A special jacket for riding a motorcycle not only gives its owner comfort and safety, but also self-confidence, because it looks solid and stern, inspiring respect for the motorcyclist. Let's get acquainted with the features of this item of men's wardrobe.

There are several varieties of men's motorcycle jackets, among them there are universal models designed not only for riding a motorcycle, but also for walking city walks.

Anyway the assortment of species is so wide that every man can easily choose the most suitable one for his figure, design and purpose option.

Men's motorcycle jackets can be classified into the following varieties.

• Textile tourist or touring. This product has an extra long cut and is perfect for long trips. The material is usually based on polyester, which withstands light rain, but cannot protect its wearer in a downpour. But this is a material that is quite resistant to abrasion, and even if it falls on the asphalt, the jacket will not tear. The inside of the product is equipped with a waterproof membrane that traps moisture and allows the body to breathe. Most models have a removable padded liner that can be removed in the heat. Ease of use is also achieved by the presence of ventilation valves.

• Urban textile. This is a shorter version of the waist-length motorcycle jacket, but the purpose is similar to that of the touring version. More sports items and fewer pockets. Also has a removable liner, membrane, valve and is made of polyester.

• Summer mesh. This variant has a mesh on the arms, shoulders and back for good ventilation. The jacket is designed exclusively for hot dry weather.

• Motor turtle. This jacket is made of thermoplastic material, it has protection for the chest, back, elbows. The leather of such a model is stronger and more resistant when dropped, the material is also less breathable and easy to clean. Despite the presence of ventilation valves, the leather jacket is warmer and therefore recommended for use in more northern regions.

• Classic leather. The style is similar to an ordinary urban leather jacket. It is permissible to use such a jacket on a standard motorcycle, sportbike and choppers. Despite the protective elements in the shoulders, elbows and back, it is recommended not to move at high speeds in this model. Suitable for use in warm weather.

• Sports leather. This option should sit on the body like a second skin. The product has the highest level of protection, namely plastic or metal inserts on the elbows and shoulders. There is a waterproof membrane inside. A special liner ensures operation in different weather conditions.

• Biker jacket. This variant is intended for riding a bike and usually lacks a protection system. It is a classic jacket with ventilation valves and insulated lining. It looks very stylish, allows you to visit public places, but such a thing can hardly be called safe for a motorcycle ride.

When buying a motorcycle jacket, follow these guidelines.

• Make sure that the product you like sits comfortably on your body and does not hinder your movements.
• The higher the strength of the material, the longer the jacket will last and the more reliable protection it will provide to the rider.
• If a turtle is selected but the customer does not plan to wear it separately, then it is important to ensure that the protective inserts are available.
• Pay attention to the length of the sleeves, it should be enough to hide the wrists.
• Safer options have reflective elements.
• Choose products with ventilation valves, which will promote adequate ventilation and provide comfort while on the move.

Mostly motorcycle jackets are designed for riding on two-wheeled vehicles and imply the use of other equipment. So, some models have a zipper on the sleeves and on the lower back, to which motorcycle pants or motorcycle jeans can be attached.

If the textile motorcycle jacket will mainly be used for walking urban walks, then it is better to buy urban and tourist models. More often than not, they are made in a neutral, restrained design and it is easier to choose an image for them.

Sports jackets are usually offered in a brighter, more colorful style, so be careful with your pants and shoes, and avoid colorful items to avoid looking gaudy.

Leather models are usually presented in black, so classic boots are suitable for them.

In general, when choosing a fashionable bow, be guided by an ordinary leather jacket. For example, a win-win versatile option is jeans and a T-shirt or a sweatshirt with a hood.
