The cuffs are finished in neoprene for better comfort and the neck is also composed of a textured 3D fabric, while the back is lower than the front, designed to cover the entire back when we drive the motorcycle.Īfter testing it, we can say that the Missile is really comfortable and its weight is relatively small, even and with the hump and different protections. The elastic accordion panels, located on shoulders and back, are positioned strategically to facilitate the movements on the bike. This is designed to improve aerodynamic performance. It is very important to emphasize the rear hump, making clear that it is a garment to use of sporting way. Also in the sleeves, underarms and in areas exposed to movements, such as shoulder blades, for example, we find elastic panels for better comfort, fit and freedom of movement on the bike.

Having the option of a cooler jacket will likely prevent you from making the mistake of riding without a proper jacket simply because it’s too hot. It’s much better to have at least a decent level of protection with a mesh jacket, than neglecting it completely with a t-shirt.

It’s the middle ground between full protection and no protection at all. Having a mesh or textile summer motorcycle jacket can make a huge difference. On more than a few occasions during my earlier riding days, I’ve said, “Man, it’s way too hot, I’m just going to squid it.” And I did just that. It’s no use to have a full leather jacket, if you’re not even going to wear it when its 110° F outside. I advise buying a mesh or textile jacket to complement your leather jacket, and vice versa. This is why having a summer motorcycle jacket is important. However, depending on your geographic location, it may be way too hot to wear leather on certain days in certain seasons. So if leather offers the most protection, we should just use it all the time right? Ideally, yes. Naturally, a mesh or textile jacket will flow much more air, making them a very good choice for hotter seasons. For winter and colder seasons, a full non-perforated leather jacket is ideal as it blocks cold air, and keeps the warm air between your body and jacket right where it needs to be. They are not ideal for winter riding unless used with other layers, or the provided thermal liner. These jackets are great for early summer riding, spring and fall riding.

Perforated leather jackets have tiny holes in the leather material that allow air to flow through the jacket for a cooling effect. Additionally, leather jackets can be split into yet another two categories: perforated and non-perforated. Each brand has their own name for the material they use and create, but they can all be categorized under textile or mesh materials.
