Your Search For the Perfect Brown Leather Motorcycle Jacket Has Ended

Have you ever looked for a motorcycle jacket only to find that most leather jackets are all about good looks and nothing about safety? This motorcycle enthusiast shares your pain. Recently my wife and I decided to find matching motorcycle jackets- we wanted to look super stylish on my new hog. Yes, we wanted to look stylish, but we are both concerned about proper safety and good looks were not enough to appease our sensibility for safety.

Our search began on the internet, which is typical for the way we shop. We want to get the facts and prices, and then approach the right store with knowledge in our pockets. I must say, we were very disappointed with our findings. Time and time again we found jackets that looked good, but offered no protection. To top it off, the quality was bad. We didn’t think we were asking for too much, but our search was telling us our request was not typical.

Out of curiosity we checked to see if there are any standards for motorcycle jackets. Guess what? Surprisingly, here in America, there are no standards. Some companies choose to adhere to European standards, but it is not mandatory and even so, most of us here in the United States don’t know what those standards are. In the end, we decided to change our search to find a quality motorcycle jacket.

We began to look for gear which was first, functional for riding. We scored here on safety factors, but not always on style and good looks. It was important for us to find gear with proper padding and fit. Have you ever tried on a jacket, thought it fit well, then sit on your bike and find out just how poorly it fit after all? It is for this reason we had to try on quite a few jackets to get the right fit.

We were lucky to find matching jackets. Mostly the products we found did not have men’s and women’s. Our research took over the course of a week and was exhausting. My wife and I felt sharing this information might help others trying to find that perfect motorcycle gear. Products we felt scored high on both safety and good looks can sometimes be hard to find. I hope readers found this article helpful in their search for good motorcycle gear, and now you can go out and find your own quality motorcycle gear.
