Nothing beats style, safety and durability like a leather motorcycle jacket. Whether you’re an old hand or just starting, a good quality leather jacket is a must-have for every biker. At VeloceClub we have a wide range of leather motorcycle jackets for riders in the UK and beyond. Leather jackets are more than just a fashion statement; they’re a safety essential. The natural toughness of leather gives excellent abrasion resistance so you won’t get road rash if you fall. Many modern leather jackets also have armour to protect your shoulders, elbows and back so you’ll be safe on the road.
We have styles and fits for all riders, men’s leather jackets, ladies’ jackets and even leather-padded jackets for kids. Whatever your riding style, VeloceClub has you covered so you can ride in comfort and style.
What to Look For in Leather Motorcycle Jackets
When choosing the best leather motorcycle jacket, consider these:
Material: Full-grain leather is the gold standard for durability and abrasion resistance. Look for jackets made from high-quality cowhide or buffalo leather for maximum protection.
Armour and Padding: Armoured motorcycle leather jackets have CE-approved armour inserts for impact protection. Some jackets also have extra padding in key areas for added safety.
Ventilation: While leather is thick and protective, ventilation is key for comfort on long rides, especially in hot weather.
Weather Resistance: Many modern leather jackets have water-resistant treatments so they can be used in all weather conditions.
Style and Fit: From classic leather moto biker jackets to fashionable leather riding jackets with armour, we have a style for every rider. Choose a fit that’s snug but comfortable so you can ride protected and mobile.
