When you take to the road on a two-wheeler, whether motorcycle or scooter, your safety is an absolute priority. Wearing the right motorcycle gear is essential to protect your body in the event of an accident, and above all, it's a source of peace of mind. Among the key elements, the jacket plays a crucial role. Few motorcycle jackets combine style and safety, while complying with the regulations on compulsory motorcycle equipment.
Anti-abrasive textile motorcycle jackets
This motorcycle jacket is a popular choice among motorcycle and scooter users, offering a combination of comfort, abrasion resistance and weather protection. Textile motorcycle jackets often feature removable linings to adapt to different seasons.
The approved motorcycle jacket
If you're a real "biker" who travels long distances by motorcycle, make sure it's approved and meets current safety standards. Type-approved motorcycle jackets generally carry a CE label certifying their conformity.
If you're an urban or suburban rider, if you've chosen a two-wheeler for reasons of practicality rather than a love of motorcycling, there are some extremely safe jackets that don't carry the CE standard, but whose level of performance and protection more than meet your expectations. We're moving away from the aesthetic world of motorcycle jackets. That's what we do at VEST PARIS.
Safety first with a motorcycle jacket
In addition to a textile motorcycle jacket, don't forget other mandatory items such as an approved helmet and gloves. These are essential for complete protection on the road. Reinforced pants and boots are complementary but not compulsory.
The difference between a leather jacket and a textile motorcycle jacket
Leather and textile motorcycle jackets are two popular options for bikers, each with its own distinct advantages. Leather motorcycle jackets are made from genuine leather, while textile jackets use synthetic materials or blends of technical fabrics. Leather offers excellent abrasion resistance, while textile features reinforcements for similar protection.
Textile motorcycle jackets are generally lighter and more breathable, ideal for warm weather.
Leather is heavier and less breathable. Textile motorcycle jackets can be fitted with waterproof membranes, offering better protection against the rain. Leather is naturally less waterproof. Leather motorcycle jackets have a timeless style, ideal for classic bikers. Motorcycle jackets are more versatile and suitable for a variety of weather conditions. Leather requires regular maintenance, while textile jackets are easier to care for.
Ultimately, the choice between leather and textile motorcycle jackets depends on your personal preferences, riding style and the conditions you face. Both options offer adequate protection, but with different features to suit your specific needs.
Style on two wheels
Men's motorcycle jackets rarely, if ever, combine style and safety. These jackets are either motorcycle-typical, or force us to wear unsightly logos, or are heavy and poorly cut.
At VEST PARIS, we offer a selection of jackets designed for urban and suburban scooter and motorcycle travel, combining contemporary design and high-quality textile materials to give you a stylish look while riding safely.
Which jacket for women?
Choosing the perfect motorcycle jacket for a woman requires a great deal of attention. Opt for a fitted, feminine cut for a comfortable, flattering fit. Choosing the right jacket size is essential.
Look for a jacket with shoulder, elbow and, if possible, back protection for maximum safety. Choose a jacket that matches your style and aesthetic preferences, whether classic leather, bright colors or specific designs for women.
In conclusion
Remember that wearing a jacket equipped with CE-approved protection is not only a legal requirement, but also a smart choice for your safety on the road. Investing in a quality jacket designed for your motorcycle or scooter safety is a decision that can save lives.
At VEST PARIS, we understood the importance of this decision very early on, which is why since 2011 we've invested heavily in safety and research into resistant materials to guarantee you total pleasure and peace of mind when you're out and about on your scooter.
