When you hit the road on a two-wheeler, whether it's a motorcycle or a scooter, your safety is a top priority. Wearing the right motorcycle gear is essential to protect your body in the event of an accident, and above all, it provides peace of mind. Among the key elements, the jacket plays a crucial role. Few motorcycle jackets combine both style and safety, while complying with the regulations regarding mandatory motorcycle equipment.
Anti-abrasive textile motorcycle jackets
This motorcycle jacket is a popular choice among motorcycle and scooter riders, as it offers a combination of comfort, abrasion resistance, and weather protection. Textile motorcycle jackets often come with removable linings to adapt to different seasons.
The approved motorcycle jacket
If you're riding a motorcycle for very long distances and are a true "biker," make sure it's approved and meets current safety standards. Approved motorcycle jackets usually have a CE label to certify their compliance.
If you ride in the city or suburbs, and you've chosen two wheels for practical reasons rather than for the love of motorbikes, there are extremely secure jackets that don't have the CE standard but whose level of performance and protection largely meets 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 the textile motorcycle jacket, don't forget other mandatory items such as an approved helmet and gloves. These are essential to ensure complete protection on the road. Reinforced pants and boots are additional but not mandatory items.
Difference between a leather jacket and a textile motorcycle jacket
Leather and textile motorcycle jackets are two popular options for motorcyclists, each with its own distinct advantages. Leather motorcycle jackets are made from genuine leather, while textile jackets use synthetic materials or technical fabric blends. Leather offers excellent abrasion resistance, while textile jackets are equipped with reinforcements for similar protection.
The textile motorcycle jacket is generally lighter and offers better breathability, ideal in hot weather.
Leather is heavier and less breathable. Textile motorcycle jackets can be fitted with waterproof membranes, providing 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 various weather conditions. Leather requires regular maintenance, while textile jackets are easier to maintain.
Ultimately, choosing 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 meet your specific needs.
The two-wheeled style
Men's motorcycle jackets rarely, if ever, combine style and safety. These jackets are motorcycle-themed, require us to sport unsightly logos, or are heavy and poorly cut.
At VEST PARIS, we offer a selection of jackets designed for your urban and suburban trips by scooter or motorbike that combine contemporary design and high-quality textile materials to give you an elegant look while riding in complete safety.
Which jacket for women?
Choosing the perfect motorcycle jacket for a woman requires a lot of attention. Opt for a fitted size and a feminine cut for a comfortable and 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 it's classic leather, bold colors, or women's-specific designs.
In conclusion
Remember that wearing a jacket equipped with CE-certified protection is not only a legal requirement, but also a smart choice for staying safe on the road. Investing in a quality jacket designed for your safety on a motorcycle or scooter is a decision that can save lives.
At VEST PARIS, we understood the importance of this decision early on, which is why since 2011 we have invested heavily in safety and research into durable materials to guarantee you complete pleasure and peace of mind when traveling by scooter.
