Alpinestars MX Jerseys

What to look for in a motorcycle jacket

Three things decide whether a jacket works: abrasion resistance of the outer shell, the armour, and the waterproof membrane. The European standard EN 17092 sorts gear into classes, with AAA for sport and AA for touring and adventure. Waterproofing is given in mm water column: 10,000 mm handles light rain, 20,000 mm and up is built for long days in it. A 3-in-1 jacket with removable thermal and rain layers covers several seasons.

• Class A, AA or AAA on the CE label
• Membrane laminated in or as a separate layer
• Vents front and back, or it will not flow

Finding the right size

Sizing differs per brand. Every product page carries that brand chart, and the size advisor walks you to the right size in a few steps. Between two sizes, riding gear usually fits better one size down, because armour needs to stay where it belongs.
