Top Quality Motorcycle Textile Jacket
This motorcycle textile jacket is built around one priority: airflow. Mesh panels run across the chest, back and both sleeves, so at speed the jacket ventilates continuously rather than trapping heat the way a solid shell does. It is the jacket for summer riding, or for anyone who has spent a hot commute regretting a leather jacket. Textile construction throughout with armour pockets at the usual points.

How the ventilation works
Mesh panels are open-weave fabric, so air passes straight through them rather than around. Placing them on the chest and sleeves means air enters where the wind hits you; placing them on the back means it has somewhere to leave. That flow is what keeps you cool, and it only works if the jacket has both intake and exhaust, which is why a jacket with vents only at the front does very little.
The trade-off is obvious and worth stating: a mesh jacket is not waterproof and it is not warm. It is a hot-weather jacket. In cool or wet conditions you want a solid-shell textile jacket instead — we have those in the same Textile Motorcycle Jackets range.
Protection and fit
The non-mesh panels are a heavier technical textile chosen for abrasion resistance, concentrated at the shoulders, elbows and forearms. Armour pockets sit at the shoulders, elbows and back; standard CE inserts fit them, and we will confirm on your order whether armour is supplied.
The cut is a proper riding fit — pre-curved sleeves, a longer back hem, and a collar shaped to clear a helmet. Waist and cuff adjusters let you pull the jacket in so it does not balloon at speed, which matters more on a mesh jacket than on any other kind.
Pockets and lining
Zipped hand pockets, a chest pocket and an interior pocket. There is no thermal lining, by design — a lining would defeat the mesh. Wear a base layer underneath if the morning is cool.
Sizes and made to order
Each jacket is made after you order, in the size you choose. Standard sizes are XS, S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL and 5XL, plus Custom. Take your normal size — a riding jacket needs to fit close enough to hold armour in position. For Custom, send chest, waist, sleeve and back length after checkout. Free worldwide shipping and secure checkout are included.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this jacket waterproof?
No. Mesh panels are open by design, so rain passes through. It is a hot-weather jacket.
Does it include armour?
It has armour pockets at the shoulders, elbows and back. Message us to confirm whether inserts come with your order; standard CE armour fits.
How much cooler is it than a leather jacket?
Noticeably, once you are moving. Mesh only works with airflow, so at a standstill the difference is small.
Is it warm enough for spring or autumn?
Not on its own. Wear a base layer or windproof underneath, or choose a solid-shell textile jacket for cooler months.
What size should I order?
Your normal size. It should fit close enough to keep armour in place rather than loose. Custom sizing is available.
How long until it arrives?
It is made to order. Allow around two weeks including free shipping; tracking is emailed on dispatch.
How do I clean it?
Sponge with mild soap and water and air dry away from heat. Do not machine wash, tumble dry or iron.
