As far as motorcycle summer jackets go, this perforated leather and mesh textile one is up there with the best on the market.
If you ride in particularly hot and stuffy conditions - either you live in a hot country or are planning a trip to one, how do you stay fresh while feeling like you’re doing the best you can to protect yourself in the event of an accident?
This mesh motorcycle jacket answers that question.
Airflow by name, airflow by nature. The lightweight motorcycle jacket is made using 1.2 – 1.3mm perforated and stylish matt black cowhide with mesh textile panels on front and back torso and sleeves.
It is lined in 100% mesh cotton for safety and airflow.
The construction of this summer motorcycle jacket ensures that a constant supply of cool air can circulate around your body while you get on with enjoying your ride.
All stitched together to our usual high CE standards using strong Nylon-bonded thread and double and internal stitching at vulnerable areas.
This may be a lightweight summer motorcycle jacket but that doesn’t mean it can’t pack a punch (or absorb one) when it comes to armour.
The Rida-Tec Airflow comes COMPLETE with fully adjustable, Level 2 CE armour on shoulders and elbows. Both can be moved so they sit precisely where you need them (or removed if required).
Our CE armour is highly effective while also being very comfortable and discreet.
A dense-foam back pad is included but you can upgrade this to a Smoothways Level 1 CE or KeepTech Level 2 CE back protector in the ordering options.
When it comes to practicality, this summer motorbike jacket doesn’t miss a beat.
You have two external YKK zipped pockets and two internal Velcro pockets plus one internal YKK zipped pocket.
Central main YKK zip fastening with top and bottom Velcro tabs.
The leather stretch panel design at back of shoulders and on elbow area allows for free movement.
YKK zipped and Velcro strapped cuffs mean that you can easily get your gloves on and off while ensuring the cuff fits snugly around your wrist.
A connecting YKK zip allows you to attach the jacket to your jeans for extra security (zip compatibility dependant).
All in all, the Rida-Tec Airflow is an exceptional summer motorcycle jacket that has had every inch of its design process worked on by a biker with a meticulous eye for detail.
It’s a no-brainer for summer riding, but what do real bikers think of it?
