Women can find a wide selection of ladies' motorcycle jackets in designs that match their personal style while providing the necessary protection for a life on wheels. While most motorcycle-riding apparel is black, companies have begun to manufacture clothing in bright colors, including orange and red. Riding apparel is also available in pastel colors, including pink and blue.
One of the ways in which ladies' motorcycle jackets are divided is based on the main material from which they are constructed. Both leather and textile ladies' motorcycle jackets are available. Female riders can choose form-fitting or loose-fitting leather jackets. These can offer protection in the event of a fall onto the road and a slide or roll of some distance. In addition to the heavy leather used in these coats, the apparel may be supplemented with dense foam, composite materials, or lightweight metals at locations like the shoulder, elbows, and back, where the body is vulnerable to injury.
One of the benefits offered by textile coats is that the material, such as ballistic nylon, can breathe better than most organic leathers. During the warmer months, riders will feel more comfortable in these jackets than in leather clothing. In addition to protective coats, riders can purchase gloves and pants that are also manufactured from these textiles to protect their hands and legs.
