Here, every article is written by those who believe that the motorcycle jacket can be reinvented: welcome to VEST PARIS , where elegance, safety and innovation meet discreetly.
VEST PARIS will attempt to answer an almost insoluble question: which jackets or vests to wear in the summer when traveling on two wheels, motorbikes and even for some, electric bikes, while maintaining a cool look.
Motorcycle jackets are rarely designed to be stylish, and that becomes a problem when you go to work every day in hot weather.
We will nevertheless study the different possibilities offered to users.
Equipment disparity between summer and winter
It is true that during the summer, some may be tempted to reduce their protective equipment due to the heat, which can lead to more serious accidents.
As temperatures rise, some of you may be tempted to wear less protective gear, such as a heavy jacket, and look for a jacket (avoid black) that prioritizes lightness and ventilation to feel more comfortable.
The risks of not equipping yourself in summer
This reduction in protective equipment leaves the body more exposed in the event of an accident, increasing the risk of serious injury. Exposed skin is more vulnerable to abrasions and burns in the event of a slip or fall.
However, it is important to emphasize that there is equipment specially designed for the warm seasons
It is crucial to find a balance between comfort and safety, choosing a product that is suitable for the heat but still offers sufficient protection.
It is also essential to maintain a high safety awareness throughout the year, by choosing the appropriate equipment.
Avoid black when choosing a motorcycle jacket
A black motorcycle product tends to absorb and retain heat from the sun. As a result, it can become very hot and uncomfortable.
Typically, a dark color like black in a product absorbs more sunlight, increasing the perceived heat. If you only like black, sweating will be the normal price to pay.
Therefore, a man or woman may tend to avoid a black motorcycle jacket in hot and sunny weather to prevent excessive overheating of the body.
Choose a light color
Choosing a lighter color or a product with reflective features can help reduce heat absorption and maintain a more comfortable body temperature while driving in hot weather.
By opting for light-colored motorcycle jackets or equipment with special textile technology for heat regulation, a man or woman can enjoy better ventilation and increased comfort, even in high temperatures.
Leather motorcycle jacket or textile jacket in summer
Choosing between a leather motorcycle jacket or a textile jacket for summer depends on several factors.
A leather jacket offers excellent abrasion protection and a classic look, but they can retain heat, which can be uncomfortable in hot weather.
A textile jacket is often more breathable, lightweight and offers better ventilation, making it more suitable for summer temperatures.
In summer, a man who travels on two wheels may prefer a textile product (avoiding dark or even black colors) for their ability to maintain a more comfortable body temperature thanks to their better air circulation.
Sometimes a textile jacket also features perforated panels or ventilation systems to maximize airflow, providing a suitable solution for hot weather.
Leather motorcycle jacket, often more protective
Leather jackets remain an option for those looking for superior protection, although this can mean feeling warm.
In summer, the choice of product between these two materials therefore depends on the thermal comfort sought and the individual preferences of the man or woman in terms of style, protection and ventilation.
Motorcycle jacket with ventilation
For summer users, the choice of jacket is essential to combine protection and comfort in the heat. An ideal summer motorcycle jacket must combine lightness and ventilation without compromising safety.
Often the solution lies in a textile product, avoiding black. This textile product is designed to promote air circulation and reduce heat while providing adequate protection.
The market offers a variety of summer-ready motorcycle jackets, each with its own unique features, providing a wide range of options to help you find the perfect fit. Choosing breathable, well-fitting motorcycle jackets is a smart decision for comfortable and safe riding during the summer season.
Another solution: opt for a mesh product
Although not very aesthetically pleasing, a mesh jacket is an ingenious solution to hot summers, providing maximum ventilation and increased comfort for scooter riders. Designed with breathable mesh panels, this product allows for optimal airflow, reducing the heat felt while riding in hot weather.
Such a product also exists, equipped with adequate protection with strategic reinforcements while remaining lightweight and flexible, thus offering an ideal compromise between comfort and safety. Their design allows for rapid evacuation of body heat, making them suitable for hot climates. Obviously, let's avoid black here too.
A mesh product (not black) often comes with removable shoulder, elbow, and sometimes back protectors for added safety. Thanks to their ability to maintain constant airflow, this type of product is a popular option if you don't want to boil over without protection from possible falls.
On the other hand, you have to forget about style, but that's the normal price to pay.
Use of a breathable membrane
Using a breathable membrane in a product intended for summer riding is a smart solution for combining protection and thermal comfort. Here too, avoid black. This membrane, often made from materials like Gore-Tex or similar technical fabrics, provides waterproofing while allowing effective perspiration wicking and optimal ventilation.
This breathable membrane acts as a barrier against water while allowing moisture vapor to escape, thus maintaining a balance between waterproofing and breathability. This product is usually positioned between the outer and inner layers of the jacket to provide protection against the elements while facilitating air circulation, helping the wearer stay dry without over-sweating during summer commutes.
The choice of VEST PARIS
This technology, laminated into a product equipped with motorcycle protection, helps prevent excessive heat build-up and provides a feeling of freshness, while ensuring adequate protection against possible rain, making this jacket an ideal choice for facing the changing conditions of summer.
This is the versatility of our jackets. It's certainly less effective than a mesh jacket, but it's the normal price to pay if you want to maintain a certain elegance.
This is the choice that VEST PARIS made for its jacket collection.
