There are Many Different Leather Motorcycle Jacket Features

By Frank Medley

When you're looking for a leather motorcycle jacket, you may expect one similar to that your dad wore when he was your age. But times have changed, and there are many great leather motorcycle jacket features.

A feature that is fairly new is water proofing. This will allow you to ride even if it's raining without damaging your jacket. Not all manufacturers' offer this however, so check out some websites.

There are also leather motorcycle jacket features available for protection. One of these includes protective armor. This armor should not shift, and should be semi rigid. It will protect you best if found on the back and chest.

For a rider going on a long rider, who needs storage, there are leather motorcycle jacket features that can give that to you. You will find the most storage in a three quarter length style jacket.

In a nice jacket, you will find articulated sleeves, which are somewhat bent to mimic your position when riding. You should also find a sleeve that covers your wrist even when your arm is stretched.

A leather motorcycle jacket feature to look for is roominess. You want a jacket that fits you well, but has some extra room so that on a night ride, a sweatshirt can be warm under it to keep you warm.

When you're buying your jacket, check for a removable lining. This will allow the part of your jacket that may become dirty or sweaty to be washed without damaging the leather jacket.

There are many great leather motorcycle jacket features out there to choose from. Which are right for you will depend on what you're interested in. But whatever makes you comfortable is best. - 16887
