Motorcycle Jacket Size Guide

THIS IS A GENERIC SIZE GUIDE AND MAY NOT ACCURATELY REPRESENT THE SIZE OF THE ITEM PURCHASED


How to find the perfect motorcycling jacket:
  • Always consider the origin of the jacket you are looking at, as UK sizes are different to European sizes.
  • If you have a wider neck, look for a jacket with an adjustable collar.
  • If you like to tuck your gloves in to your jacket, look for a jacket with adjustable cuffs.

  • CHEST/BUST: using tape measure the fullest part of your chest/bust
  • WAIST: measure around the narrowest part, your waist
  • HIPS: measure around the fullest part of your hips

Choose the right style of motorcycle jacket:

Think about the style of the jacket you want and whether it is compatible with your style of riding.

  • Leather jackets offer more abrasion protection; however, these are not waterproof motorcycle jackets and can be quite heavy.
  • Textile jackets are often waterproof, but might not be the right fit for a sports motorcycle bike.
  • Short jackets are good for sports bikes, they will not be too baggy and ruck up at the front.
  • Longer jackets suit touring and upright bikes, keeping your waist warmer.

If you are looking for the perfect motorcycling jacket all year round, look out for ones with a removable thermal lining.


How to choose the safest motorcycling jacket:

It is good to have CE approved armour in the elbows and shoulders, but look further for CE back protection. Many jackets will have a pocket where you can add protective gear to make your jacket safest for the road. Look for abrasion resistant materials such as polyester, or cordura fabric.

For your comfort and safety, look for a jacket which has adjustability in as many parts of its construction as possible; ribbed stretch panels at elbows allow easy flexing with the body, adjustment tabs at cuffs, neck collar, waist, arms, etc. allows for a snug yet comfortable fit. Feeling comfortable in the motorcycling jacket you choose is essential for a stress-free ride with high mobility for your safety.
