Keep in mind some Tips when Buying a Motorcycle Leather Jacket.

The Motorcycle jackets must be fit in all respects and designed to be comfortable when in a riding position so the jacket should be shorter at the front, to prevent riding up, and longer at the back to provide adequate cover.

The sleeves of jacket should be long to cover your wrists when holding the handle bars and it should be roomy in the shoulders for ease of movement.

The neck should be snug but not restrictive and the wrists and waist should have closures to keep out the wind.

Adequate padding is necessary; jackets are usually padded at the elbows, back and shoulders. Padding may be extra material or better still plastic inserts or reinforced Kevlar.

Make sure the armor stays in place when you wear the jacket.

The most motorcycle jackets have plenty of pockets. Opt for ones with flaps as wind can get through zippers unless they have material patches if the back or front. Inner pockets are useful for keeping your wallet and cash in.

The removable insulated liners are great for using the jacket in cold weather. The vents are essential to allow you to be cool in the summer.

Leather is very warm so you will be overheated in the summer season unless there is a way to allow air circulation in the jacket. The black color is a traditional color for motorcycle jackets and although it look good.

In the winter season, you require maximum protection from the elements. A jacket that is cut long, below the hip is better at keeping out the wind and cold.

Heavy insulation, often in the form of removable linings is needed and the jacket should be adjustable to give a snug fit at wrists, waist and neck to keep out the wind and cold.
