Finding Quality Motorcycle Jackets at a Reasonable Price
Summary
The day I picked up my first motorcycle is still vivid in my memory. Back then, I had no idea that a proper motorcycle jacket was more than just a fashion statement. Unlike regular leather jackets, those designed for motorcycling are packed with features that offer critical protection for riders. Let’s explore how to find a quality motorcycle jacket without breaking the bank.
Understanding the Importance of a Good Jacket
Initially, I used an old leather jacket, unaware that genuine motorcycle jackets have protective features essential for safety. While traditional leather jackets, like the ones Fonzie wore, might shield against road rash, they lack impact protection.
Since then, I've purchased several motorcycle jackets. My first was a Fieldsheer, bought online for around $250?"an investment that has lasted eight years, thanks to its reinforced panels and body armor.
What to Look for in a Quality Jacket
A high-grade leather jacket, properly stitched and reinforced, typically costs between $250 and $350. While you're likely to find cheaper, generic options, they often comprise poor materials and craftsmanship. Investing in a reputable brand is advisable for quality and durability.
Trusted Brands
Icon is a popular name, offering stylish, high-quality gear. They provide a range of products, including boots, gloves, and riding pants, often with matching designs. For hot climates, Icon’s Kevlar mesh jackets offer similar protection to leather but are more breathable.
Why Avoid Cheap Alternatives
I once purchased a $100 jacket from a local store for one of my girlfriends. It seemed like a bargain, but the leather tore, and the zipper broke within a month. That experience taught me the importance of choosing reliable brands.
Shopping for Deals Online
The internet is a great place to find deals on motorcycle jackets. Online retailers often offer discounts of around 10?"15% on trusted brands like Joe Rocket, Alpinestars, Icon, AGV Sport, and Arlen Ness. Additionally, many don’t charge state taxes, potentially saving you more.
Tips for Safe Online Shopping
- Ensure the website provides a contact number and email.
- Check for encryption during checkout, indicated by a lock icon.
- Be cautious of prices significantly lower than competitors, as this could signal poor quality.
Exploring Pre-owned Options
If you're open to secondhand gear, platforms like eBay can be a treasure trove for affordable yet quality motorcycle apparel.
In sum, investing in a quality motorcycle jacket is essential for both safety and long-term value. With careful selection and smart shopping, you can find a jacket that fits your budget and meets your safety needs.
