Motorcycle Jackets buying guide

A motorcycle jacket combines abrasion resistance with impact armour at the shoulders, elbows and often the back. Leather offers excellent abrasion resistance, while modern textile jackets add waterproofing, ventilation and removable thermal liners. Look for CE-rated armour and a jacket certified to EN 17092.

Choose a fit snug enough to keep the armour in place over base layers but still comfortable in a riding position. Moto Miser tracks live prices on jackets across UK retailers so you can compare before buying.
