subject: Functional Sportbike Motorcycle Jackets For Your Safety And Comfort [print this page] Functional Joe Rocket sportbike motorcycle jackets can provide the finishing touch to your stash of riding gear. Of course no biker wants to hit the road, literally or figuratively, without the proper gear. Helmets, gloves, boots, and other safety gear make for a more confident and controlled rider. The motorcycle jacket is the finishing touch that can provide both good looks and safety for both men and women riders.
Extreme riding conditions, often defined as extreme cold or heat, are really only extreme from the rider's point of view. No one will forgo wearing a jacket in cold weather, but lots of motorcyclists will opt not to wear one in warm weather. They are willing to risk safety in an effort to remain cool. This can be a costly mistake and one that is avoidable with the proper gear.
There are those who recognize the need for wearing all the gear all the time. This includes the use of a proper riding jacket made of sturdy material and containing the proper padding. These bikers understand the value provided by a jacket should something unfortunate occur that sends them sprawling across the pavement. Jackets provide a layer of protection in key areas along the back, waist, and elbows. In such an unfortunate event, it is much better to shred the jacket than to shred the skin, and replacing the jacket is a far better option than a trip to the emergency room.
Joe Rocket sportbike motorcycle jackets are available in a wide variety of configurations that are appropriate for a myriad of climates. Those who precariously hug mountain roads as well as those who dig long stretches of highway that allow them to really twist the throttle can find the right style and fit as well as the appropriate color combination to suit their style and need.
Leather jackets provide the ultimate protection in any climate. Mesh or textile jackets offer good protection in warmer climates. Lots of riders have taken to hemp jackets which can be a great way to make a statement while providing both comfort and safety. Each style is padded appropriately. Most offer zipper vents and removable lining that give the rider both warm and cold weather options.
Prices can vary widely on motorcycle jackets allowing for the perfect fit to anyone's budget. Of course mesh and textile jackets are typically less expensive than leather jackets. Leather offers plenty of price choices as well and can vary on the type of leather and the added features and padding. Some are suited for cruising while others are aimed at those who require extra padding or venting.
It can be tempting to ignore safety in favor of comfort, but the smart rider rarely makes this sacrifice, and there is plenty of gear available today that allows for both extreme comfort and excellent protection. Remember, the responsible rider wears all the gear all the time, but there is no reason to sacrifice safety or looks in the process. Along with the rest of a rider's gear, Joe Rocket sportbike motorcycle jackets offer the right fit, price, and safety.
