I lucked out when I was new to riding. Went to a bike meet about an hour from home. They had a charity shop at the entrance, and one of the items was a used leather jacket. I tried it on, and it fit like it was made for me. It's heavy and thicker than you'd believe. I only paid $75 for it, and still wear it to this day, 15 years later.

Bruh I was so lucky, at the end of my MSF course they offered us left behind and donated gear. I made out with a pretty new Joe Rocket jacket and matching gloves for free!

I took a dive on my bike going down hill on a gravel road doing at least 35 - 40 mph. I was wearing leather chaps, leather jacket, helmet and steel toed boots (for work) as well as gloves. My helmet got ground down to the foam liner, my boots got ground down to the steel toes, my chaps had the snaps on the lower legs get ripped off, my jacket had the shoulder strap get ripped loose, and i had a "bursa bump" on my elbow. I was able to get back up and on the bike and ride home. The bike had superficial cosmetic damage. Thank God for proper PPE.

[@joenailfish5105]

A good rule of thumb that helped my mind set when shopping was "It's not if I feel safe going out wearing this PPE, but does my family feel safe watching me put it on?" Idk it helped me do that extra research before I added it to the cart.

In my country (Portugal) the summers are particularly hot and it's a pain in the butt to have to wear a motorcycle jacket and it's always a temptation to leave it at home before going out, but there's a saying in the motorcycle community that goes like this : It's better to sweat than bleed.

Enjoy seeing your gear, safety-conscious videos lately. Thank you for educating those who might not appreciate the importance. Would love to see you share the distinction(s) between CE 'A'/'AA'/'AAA', perhaps in another gear-related piece (e.g., pants or jeans) so that people can make an even more fully informed decision when buying. Thanks again for dropping the knowledge! ✌🤘

I personally only buy CE and AA level gear, doesn't matter if trousers, jacket, gloves, shirts, hoodies - you name it. Same with helmets - never buy used, never buy no-name brands unless you can research them as there some good gems out there like the LS2.

[@tbm275]

When I was looking at my Scrambler Cafe Racer at the local Ducati dealership, they had a lone, couple year old leftover inventory black leather Ducati by Dainese jacket hanging on a rack, in a size too small for anyone else. I knew I wanted the Scrambler Cafe, and the jacket font matched the font on the bike so I took it down and tried it on and was a perfect fit. Talked the salesmen into throwing it in with the bike! Sure it didn't come with the pads the same way the jacket in the video doesn't but getting a $500 jacket for free makes up for it if I decided to get pads for it later. I do have a pad filled, breathable mesh jacket as well that I wear during summer months.

I would also like to add: You want to see them actually list THE ARMOR as C.E. rated. Other wise they could be talking about anything from the pads to the dye. Last thing you want is to go down thinking you have C.E rated armor and it turns out it's just a foam insert.

[@janeprescott980]

All the memories and happiness in your jacket surely increase it's value.

[@SewGurl58]

I find it interesting that practically all the Harley jackets now come with pockets for all the armor. They however only sell the armor separately. My first armored jacket was a leather First Gear jacket, that I bought at the time not the armor, but it was an actual women's fit and it fit perfect! I fell in love with the armor. Somewhere 20 years ago I went all textile, pants and jacket and I love my armored gear by AGV.

Great video, I have an RST jacket for summer, got it in a sale for £85.00 reduced from 145. Last year's stock and new stock in shop so if the latest doesn't bothered you look out for old stock in your local dealers. I have a proper leather jacket for winter. Again got it at a bike show we're a dealers were selling off old stock. £150 down from 250. Deals are out there if you look. Better going to dealership where you can see the quality and check out the fit. Summer jacket can be neat, winter go larger to allow for layers. Enjoy your bikes and keep ot between the hedges.

Bought the Icon Sanctuary hybrid leather/textile jacket when I started riding years ago. Still have it and it's been great, but it is very heavy and a bit chilly for colder temps (has vents that can't close and the removable inner thermal liner while nice, is a bit lacking). As such I've been looking for a more versatile and lighter jacket. I've settled on the Revit Sand 4. A nice ADV/touring jacket with plenty of protection, features, and vents to still keep cool in the summer but more importantly can close them when the temperatures start to drop to help keep warm. It's also a good bit lighter than my old Icon jacket, which I'll still keep around, as well as has a better thermal liner for keeping warm when needed. The only negative is that it's not a cheap jacket, but with some shopping around was able to get a fair deal on it.

[@buckrogers7498]

I have two jackets. The first is a Tourmaster 3. It's a great jacket for all seasons. The base part is Kevlar lined with pads and mesh for lots of airflow on hot days. However it also has a rainproof shell that zips to it and an inner liner for warmth. It's the one I usually take motocamping because it's so versatile. The second is a leather motorcycle jacket. It has pockets for a back pad and elbow pads (which I still need to get though I could take them from my first jacket). This is kind of my everyday commuter jacket. Great in spring and fall. Okay in cold. Decent rain protection for commuting. Not so great when it's hot. Looks stylish.

[@Kaptain13Gonzo]

Whelp, I bought the Harley jacket. Yeah, had to sell one of my children to pay for it. It does come with all the pockets, beltloops and such and the fit for riding is perfect. Heavy as sin so the armour pads I added are a bonus. It bounces thrown gravel no problem. Wouldn't change it for textile. Mind you, where I ride we get warm to hot days in the 'summer' but for the most part the weather always has an edge. Winter - nah, park it or drown. I'm headed south to California this spring so I might get to see how it works in places where it really does get hot. Overall, great info and yet one more good, informative content video. Time well spent.

[@sethlozeau2962]

So you’re heading down south to Cali, you where a heavy leather jacket most of the year because it’s always cold, and you mostly don’t ride in the winter because you’ll drown? It sounds like you live in Washington too! 🤣

[@CRGmotors]

When I first started riding I grabbed amazon jackets and pants... a full textile set... was like $100 for both peices. I expected it to be terrible but would let me get into riding on a budget in case I decided it wasn't for me. I liked them so much i ordered the mesh set as well. They have lasted fantastic, I still use the textile for riding all winter here in PA. I keep them for loaner gear and the mesh works great off road ADV riding as it is armored and flows crazy air. I've went down off road on my Super Ten without any issue but never tried them out on pavement. But over 2 years of constant use and no bad seams or wear at all. Took so long to replace them because they work so well. Just a thought for those on a smaller budget.

[@taliesinangling3564]

But are they safe?

[@Invaderz14]

I did the exact same thing a couple months ago. Holding up great. The second I thought about getting a summer oriented jacket I got a nail in my tire so there went my gear money haha. Guess I'll see how this set does in the warm.

[@CRGmotors]

@@taliesinangling3564 like I said, I personally didn't volunteer to go for a slide on the street... however there are a good many anecdotal post of people posting online and KZbin about their HWK brand gear holding up after a spill. All I can speak to is their durability after a couple years of basically daily use. No weak or popped seams, the included armor is CE rated with the correct moto numbers on it, even the zippers have been flawless. When I would handle and try on jackets at the local cyclegear, I couldn't see or feel drastic quality differences until I was into a $350-400+ price range. Is it as nice as my new Rev It summer jacket? No, but only marginally no. One main point of me posting this is, for $50 each for pants and jacket, there's no monetary excuse to not wear gear. Even/especially when just getting started.

[@CRGmotors]

@@Invaderz14 when I took my msf i used the full textile setup... stupidly didn't have any other long sleeve shirt. Even though it was in October in PA, it hit 80°... I was wringing my gloves out from the sweat. That night, I ordered the mesh setup... lol

I do wear "fashion leather" when I am on motorcycle and weather is cool but it is always on top of modern textile, aramid lined and D3O armored Richa hoodie/shirt which I wear ALWAYS when riding. But even the leather jacket is good, it is an oldschool "Marlon Brando" 1950s style motorcycle jacket made from very thick and heavy leather. While it is not armored itself but combined with the armored and aramid lined shirt I do feel very safe wearing it. Thick leather is still thick leather and provides good abrasion resistance but if it fails there is still the textile, aramid lining and D3O armor layers before my skin. Layered armor. 👍

Go to your local Cycle Gear and try on a bunch of jackets and narrow down your fit preference. Personally I like my jackets on the snug side so the shoulder and elbow armor doesn't move around. try on different jackets and stick your arms out to mimic your riding position. You don't want the jacket to restrict any movement while you're riding. I recommend mesh for summer and leather for winter. You can wear leather in the summer, just make sure you find one that has vents to flow air because it will get HOT. A lot of jackets come with shoulder and elbow pads but not all will come with a C.E. rated back protector (it's usually a foam pad to mimic the feel of a back protector) so make sure you upgrade that

[@ldorman]

I actually wear a CE Level 2 hoodie under my 'normal' leather jacket sometimes - especially when riding into town. I also wear biker jeans , as well Level 2 - the great thing is, people don't even notice you are wearing biker gear. I was wearing that stuff at work not just once and one of my colleagues did say to me that I'm brave riding without gear - then I showed him that it has actually protection. I like a causal look but don't want to give up protection. Also, I am not a hardcore, going fast rider, yes I have a early 2000 1-litre naked bike what snaps the speedo in just after 3 sec, but it the same with wearing a 500m water resistant watch - I will never dive 500m but I don't panic if it falls into the sink.

I used to work for BMW UK in the warehouse, every year they would sell off ex display jackets and trousers returned by dealers when they re-stocked. I got Savanna 2 jacket for £40 a Tourance leather jacket for £50 and a nappa leather jacket for £30 because the removeable collar and some pulled stitches I also got a Full Gore Tex winter jacket and two summer textile jackets so the lot for just over £200, that was over 15 years ago and I still wear them apart from the textile summer jacket which no longer fitted. They stopped doing the staff sales a couple of years later and allowed the dealers to sell them off discounted but not at the prices I paid. I did check the new prices of some of them and basically I paid less than 10% of the retail price and the £30 jacket cost over £700 at the time.

When I was riding, in the 60s, my street wear was the same as my riding wear, usually jeans and T-shirt. Helmets were not yet required, and I seldom wore one. I had a motorcycle for transportation NOT for racing. I spun out once in the rain and ground the pocket of my left rump. I also got some brush burns on my hands. In seven years on my bike, that was my only accident, not counting off-road spills while fooling around. My experience has taught me that the most effective protection you have, lies between your ears. I'm moving to Tucson this summer and, after 50 years, thinking of getting a bike again. I'm not crazy about leather and do not plan to do any touring. Your textile suggestions seem to be both prudent and reasonable. I'll give them consideration.

Started with the official noob jacket, Tourmaster Intake Air 4, great jacket, lots of options like rain liner and cold weather liner, but when you take out the lining in hot weather, the armor sags and moves out of place.

Most damage/injuries are hip/legs injuries (including deep internal bleeds). Your jacket is just that, a jacket.

Lmao I couldnt imagine meeting up with a girl for a date and showing up in full leathers haha but hey atleast she'll know your passionate about riding.

[@mikeprzyszlak5242]

@@slept-on_SP what do you need girls for? You have a bike ffs!

[@shivpalpatine]

what does the undersuit do? provides more breathability? does it also allow the outer layer to "slide" around your body better and not "stick"/friction to your skin when sliding?

[@mikeprzyszlak5242]

@@shivpalpatine It does nothing to protect you but it feels much more comfortable and you don't feel as hot/cold with a good one.Think about wearing your shoes without socks, and with socks. That's the difference :)

[@shivpalpatine]

@@mikeprzyszlak5242 ahhh thats a good analogy, shoes without socks absolutely sucks lol

1 thing you didn't mention, but I always look for - a single piece back. I beyond hate the seam down the middle as they will leak water eventually, and the threads also pull apart.

[@thefellcor]

Your English pronunciation is impeccable that I watched the clip without subtitles. Rarely does this happen. The speed you talk also helps.

Hey Spite love the lid at 7:50.....safe and a tribute to Predator!

Just bought a jacket from ride rich, 350$ gets you a nice jacket that breathes is waterproof and has all the armor pockets and Kevlar, I’m fan of Kevlar anything for riding because you can still wear MOST Kevlar gear on a warmer day and be fine

This man's Harley Davidson voice is killing me 🤣😂, yeh brother 😎

[@KageStelhman]

Another way you can tell whether a Jacket is Fashion Leather or Motorcycle Leather is the Weight, a Motorcycle Leather Jacket is pretty heavy (the one I currently own is about 12 lbs. or 5.44 kg for those of you that use Metric)

Well done. Thank you.

Really good content

Love my dianese 2 piece track suit but for more relaxed rides icon mesh jacket tcx rush short boots and gloves along with a bell star helmet been down in the icon airform mesh jacket and didn't mess nothing up

my Vanson and my Corsair Arai, is why im here today. damn footdrop inhibits me from shifting now!

Next time, please mention the CE ratings and their protection differences (A vs AA vs AAA)

[@superhelicase]

You tricked me by putting the fashion jacket on the Alpine Star hanger... very clever...

[@ewrobertson]

I too usually ride in hot summer weather. Currently, I have a REAX Bridger riding shirt, but I would like something a bit cooler if possible, so now I'm looking into the Knox Urbane Pro MK2 shirt.

[@44MagnumFilms]

Take a look at the Icon field armor compression shirt. I put a light colored mesh jersey over it to keep the sun from baking me at the stops, makes cleaning bug splatter easier too. I liked the Knox but it didn't fit. Really small in the arms and shoulders for me.

[@ewrobertson]

@@44MagnumFilms Thanks! I'll check it out.

[@nopenaw9835]

So random just about to leave the house to go look for riding jackets, thanks boys.

[@HeffyMatrix]

Thank you for this video!!! I’ve been searching and searching for my type of jacket/gear at a reasonable cost and this is definitely it!!😊 you gained a loyal sub today!

[@scruffycavetroll7547]

I have a speed and strength jacket. Has some shoulder, back and elbow armor as well as a removable hoodie. I like it. I still have my leather jacket from when I rode in 2007. Still in decent shape but some of the stitching is coming apart especially in the back near the neck

[@Cheezmonka]

Is it the brown and black one made from a sort-of cotton canvas material? If sob I have the same jacket and I'm also happy with it.

[@murph9935]

I had the gray textile S&S jacket...served its purpose well enough when called upon.

[@scruffycavetroll7547]

@@Cheezmonka nope it’s black

As much as I appreciate the concealed carry pocket, I prefer my inside the waistband holster and yes, you should carry and ride you should carry literally all the time why? Because this is America and you should

[@mohtishamraza2113]

I am from Pakistan and I make jackets motorbike jackets I can make a jacket for you if you ask The factory I work in is a Belgium company and all their jackets go to Belgium from Pakistan .and I want to export .Canada.US.and England

It's sad to see people waffling on 2A and carrying. Really sad. Stop waffling, just don't mention it if you're a) worried about offending the left, or b) you are the left and you might offend the right. It's just not worth it. Stick to motorcycles

[@fan9775]

I don't agree with everything you said, but I do agree on the waistband holster.

[@boyzee01]

Great video but you didn't mention 2 piece leathers, also thanks for tip about the belt loops on the jackets.

[@marklengal9990]

Have you done a review of the Speed and Strength - Straight Savage 2.0 Jacket? I like the looks but I’d like to see a video of all the features

[@teatowel11]

I love my jackets, i spent a bundle on them but they are as good as the day i bought them. Wish i could say the same about the jeans. I always wear through the crutch of my jeans. They last about a year.

[@snowkracker]

I got a pretty badass leather jacket from Barney’s for $230.00 The brand is Z1R. It looks really sic with my new 2022 XSR900 and the best part is that it has conceal carry pockets on the inside right and left.

[@alexdavis2925]

That fashion jacket is one of the best looking leather jackets ive ever seen in my life to be honest. It’s been perfected

[@dRockOhio]

I have probably the only “fashion” jacket that can be worn on a bike. A Schott. The leather is thick and well made. But no padding. I’ve had issues with padding calling shoulder pain, so I dunno. The leather will work though!

[@carver7689]

You offer some really good gear on the shop site, but with warm weather returning, maybe consider adding some mesh gear to the lineup. Have you searched for mesh gear in the big name brands? Some of it is completely off the market right now regardless of the price point. If you could fill that niche, you'd make a killing.
