Adventure Jackets

About

Adventure jackets are built for riders who cover ground in every condition. This range spans laminated and textile touring shells, mesh summer layers and waterproof 4-season builds from Shark Leathers, Merlin, Macna, Leatt and Oxford. Expect removable thermal liners, CE armour pockets and ventilation made for long-haul touring and off-road use. How to choose an adventure motorcycle jacket An adventure jacket has to handle more than a single ride type. The right shell balances abrasion protection, waterproofing and airflow so one jacket can tour, commute and tackle gravel. Match the construction to your climate and the distances you cover. Construction Abrasion rating Best for Airflow Laminated textile EN 17092 AAA All-season touring Vented panels Textile (drop-liner) EN 17092 AA 4-season commuting Moderate Mesh EN 17092 A Summer heat High Leather EN 17092 AAA Sport touring Low Armour and waterproofing Protection comes from impact armour, not the outer shell alone. CE Level 1 armour absorbs up to 18 kN of transmitted force; CE Level 2 caps it at 9 kN, so Level 2 transmits roughly 50% less impact. Look for shoulder and elbow armour rated to EN 1621-1 and a back protector slot sized to EN 1621-2. Laminated membranes keep water out across all 4 seasons, while a 100% removable thermal liner adapts the same jacket from a 5 degree morning to a 35 degree afternoon. Most touring shells run 600D to 1000D Cordura at the high-wear zones and a YKK main zip for long-term durability. Size for layering. A jacket that fits over a base layer with a 2 cm margin lets you add a mid-layer in cold weather without losing armour alignment over the shoulder and elbow.
