Mens leather jackets for motorcycle riders have always been available in many designs and forms, however recently women's leather motorcycle have also become available. These jackets are especially made to fit a ladies figure. Before this women riders had to make do with a small leather jacket that was designed for a mans physique and not a woman, therefore a perfect fit was never achieved.
Most manufactures of apparel these days have accepted that more women are riding bikes then ever before also as the fact that they've been passengers for a long time and where never properly addressed. Well that's now changed and women can now choose from a lot of motorcycle leather jacket.
Leather has all of the time been the preferred choice of material for a jacket. The leather offers protection from road rash. That's if quality materials are used and stitched together and reinforces properly. We recommend you buy all your apparel from a brand name manufacture. This insures that you're truly going to get some protection out of the jacket because it will be made from quality material.
Textile and Mesh are the freshest thing in motorcycle jackets where as before these highly durable materials were introduced the best you could do to energize a warm weather riding jacket was to get a leather penetrated one. The perforations are fashioned to let air pass thru while still giving you security.
At present with modern mesh and textile materials made from Kevlar and the look-alike you will be able to get almost the same security from a jacket made from Mesh then a leather piece. These newly materials have a high abrasion resistance and don't rupture easily. Also most of the apparels made from the mare double stitched to prevent a tear at the seams.
So now a days you have a choice in materials. Decide whichever suits your needs best and is going to be the most comfortable to wear. Comfort is very important when it comes to riding apparel since if you do not feel comfortable in the item you are not likely to wear it in the long run.
Personally I have two jackets one from mesh and one from leather, that way when its cold outside I can wear the thicker leather one that also has a insulated insert to help keep me warm and on warm days I can wear the mesh one and have all the protection as well as comfort to ride all day. I do have to admit I prefer the look of my leather motorcycle jacket to the mesh just because it's a more old school look.
