Leather Motorcycle Jacket Materials and Construction
Each leather motorcycle jacket in this collection is made from durable cowhide or goat leather, depending on the model.
Cowhide is valued for its durability, structured feel and abrasion resistance. Goat leather is naturally softer and more flexible, making it comfortable for riders who prefer a lighter feel and greater freedom of movement.
Features available across the motorbike jacket range may include:
- Full-grain or A+ grade cowhide leather
- Soft and flexible goat leather
- Reinforced seams and structured leather panels
- Fixed or removable quilted linings
- Mesh linings for improved breathability
- Stretch panels for easier movement
- Adjustable belts, waist straps, cuffs and collars
- Secure internal and external storage pockets
- Durable YKK® Hardware for dependable performance
Leather naturally softens with regular wear and gradually shapes to the rider. Follow the care instructions provided on each product page to help maintain its finish and condition.
Armour and Rider Protection
Most RIDERACT® leather motorcycle jackets include a Complimentary CE Standard Armour Set for the shoulders, elbows and spine. Riders seeking enhanced impact protection can select the option to upgrade to our CE-Certified Level 1 Armour.
The Martial leather motorbike jacket is the only model in this collection that includes CE-Certified Level 1 Armour as standard. Before riding, check that each protector is correctly positioned and that the jacket fits securely enough to help keep the armour in place.
Choosing a Motorcycle Jacket for Australian Conditions
Australian riding weather can vary considerably, so compare the ventilation, lining and fit before choosing your motorcycle jacket.
For warmer rides, consider a design with zippered vents, a mesh lining or perforated leather panels. In cooler conditions, a fixed or removable quilted lining can provide additional comfort. Adjustable cuffs and collars can also help reduce wind entering the jacket.
Leather offers some resistance to wind and light moisture, but it should not be treated as fully waterproof unless this is clearly stated on the individual product page. Avoid prolonged exposure to heavy rain and use a suitable leather-care product where recommended.
Leather Biker Jackets for Road and Everyday Wear
A well-designed leather biker jacket offers more than classic styling. Leather provides durable coverage and gradually becomes more comfortable with regular wear. Many designs can also be worn casually when the removable armour is taken out.
Each biker leather jacket in the RIDERACT® collection combines practical riding features with distinctive styling. From close-fitting cafe racer cuts to relaxed Brando designs, these motorbike leather jackets provide a timeless look that works both on and off the bike.
