I am thinking of buying one but the leather seems to stiff. Should the leather of a bike jacket be stiff / hard or be normal. The leather of the red jacket I want to buy is similar to leather on trainers.

Stiff is good on a leather jacket made specifically for motorcycles. It means the leather is thick (which it usually is not on other leather jackets). And that means that leather will scrape off in the event of a wreck, leaving your skin intact. Thinner leather means less sliding distance before you begin to lose skin, and vice versa.
As it stretches from the effect of you wearing it and moving around, the leather will become more supple. You will also get used to the shape of the jacket. Bear in mind you don’t need to move around much when you’re riding, as long as you can move your head freely and reach the controls comfortably. You don’t need to be able to do gymnastics in the jacket or put both your legs behind your head. Unless you’re stunting

One other thing to look out for is impact-protective armor on the elbows, shoulders, and back. This is really important to keep joints and bones intact in a wreck. If the jacket doesn’t have armor in these areas, it should at have pockets so you can buy and insert armor.

Good luck! Happy riding.

Safety and comfort is definitely a necessity! Especially safety.

NEW MOTORCYCLE JACKET SAVES RIDER FROM SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY
Last week, Joseph McPhatter, a family man from Maryland was involved in a terrible motorcycle accident. Typical situation; cut off by a motorist, was ejected 100 feet from the site of impact and hit the ground at 140 mph. No, he did not die, but in fact, he had minor injuries and was able to return to his family that evening. How is this possible? He was wearing a new “impact jacket”. This new jacket essentially gives the motorcycle driver an “airbag” around them when they crash.

This was the first case in the US where an impact jacket has saved the life of a person. However, police departments in Japan, Spain, Brazil and Taiwan have recently benefited using these devices to save officers’ lives. Motorcycle accidents are the third killers of law

From The Fonz to modern day, no single article of clothing oozes coolness quite like a men’s motorcycle jacket. From the traditional leather to the striking look of denim to the bold look of a men’s racing jacket, a men’s motorcycle jacket has been featured in movies, television and in theatre as a way to identify the coolest and most dangerous cats out there. Let’s take a look at some of the most popular men’s motorcycle jacket fashions out right now and see some possible additions to your wardrobe this season.
For years now, the folks at Rebel Ryder have been making some of the most dramatic and handsome men’s motorcycle jackets on the market and their recent additions are no exception.

Some people think that when they strap on an authentic leather men’s motorcycle jacket that they are going to be freezing if the temperature drops below freezing. While that might have been the case a few decades ago, technology has advanced quite a bit and you can now buy a men’s motorcycle jacket with a Thinsulate liner to keep you warm on even the coldest days. The good people at Thinsulate also make some of the warmest leather gloves out there, so you know you’re getting a quality product. Don’t let a cold winter force you to hang up your favorite men’s motorcycle jacket this season, look for the Thinsulate name on your next jacket purchase.

Not everyone grew up with an overriding love of all things leather. You’ll find many a rider sporting a denim jacket that is pretty sweet in its own right. After leather, denim is one of the safest and best fabrics you can wear out on the open road to protect yourself from spills and other mishaps. Denim is also quite warm so it provides protection against the elements, as well. If you are in need of a handsome men’s motorcycle jacket this season and you want to avoid leather, check out a denim jacket at a retailer near you.

Finally, a men’s motorcycle racing jacket is a third option for the rider who wants to look perfect on the open road. Racing jackets feature a striped mid section, just like the old motorcycle and race car driving jackets of yesterday. Feel like a champion with a leather men’s motorcycle racing jacket this season and protect yourself at the same time. You can also purchase an insulated version of the same jacket as well.
