subject: Motorcycle Jackets [print this page] Getting the fit right on one of these jackets sometimes seems harder than it should be. But if you think about it, there are good reasons why finding the right fit is so challenging. Women come in all shapes and sizes, and even if two women both fit into the "average" category, they might be very different in terms of body make up. They might be so different that they could not possibly wear the same jacket! Now think about the sheer number of women who might want a leather motorcycle jacket, and you can see that proper fitting could be a real issue.
When it comes to riding on a motorcycle, your number one priority is safety, which is why you will see most people who are riding one decked out in boots, a jacket, gloves, helmet, and sometimes even leather chaps. All of these articles of clothing help to protect the driver and prevent unnecessary injury in the event of an accident. Shopping for the right jacket is important because picking the wrong one can mean possibly endangering yourself.
You will want the jacket you pick out to be thick enough to soften the blow of a crash, so make sure that you try it on in the store. It should also have the proper insulation, so you are nice and warm when on the road. Since motorcycles don't have anything like doors or a windshield, you will have to remember that even when it is warm outside, it can still be quite chilly.
Traditional material for motorcycle clothing is leather, but thick nylon and other synthetic materials work well too. Kevlar reinforced jeans are better than normal jeans .Normal jeans last 0.6 seconds in the European standard abrasion test, while protective motorcycle pants will last 5 seconds or more.
Impact protection can be bought separately like back protectors and so on, but remember where your most vulnerable areas are. And make sure if you buy impact protection you actually wear it! If you have any doubts it may be better to go for motorcycle clothing with a degree of impact protection included so that you know when you put on your jacket and pants, the protection is always going to be there.
Colors for the leather jackets have also captured the seasons trend depending more on the looks you want to achieve. A more formal feel can come out with black leather jackets complimented by cool blue denims or jeans with hazy shades of colors and faded textures in them. Brown colors exemplify vintage and a cow boy look as well along with other light color options like white and grey. You can then match it with Denim jeans or casual trousers. Women can have other vibrant color options as well.
