Waterproof Motorcycle Jackets

Different Types of Motorcycle Jackets for Rain

Waterproof motorcycle jackets are now better than ever. In the past, you could often get quite wet during a small rain shower. Fortunately, that is now almost a thing of the past. Of course, there is a difference between a waterproof motorcycle jacket of, for example, €100 and one of €500. There are also many different types of waterproof motorcycle jackets: with a removable membrane, laminated motorcycle jackets, and special Gore-Tex membranes. We tell you all about it.

The 2 or 3-layer Waterproof Motorcycle Jackets

Entry-level models of waterproof jackets for motorcycles often do not have the option to remove the waterproof membrane. This can make such a jacket feel suffocating and insulating during the summer months. We call this type of motorcycle jacket a 2-layer motorcycle jacket.

If you go a step up in price, you arrive at the so-called 3-layer motorcycle jackets. The advantage of a 3-layer motorcycle jacket is that the waterproof membrane can be removed, just like the thermal liner. This way, you can continuously adjust the jacket to current weather conditions. So you're never too cold in the winter, and never too warm in the summer!

Direct Laminate Motorcycle Jackets

Direct laminate motorcycle jackets use a completely different technology. In laminated jackets, the waterproof membrane is laminated (glued) against the outer layer of the jacket. All the seams of the jacket are also taped to ensure that all rainwater is immediately blocked and has no chance of penetrating the jacket.

Motorcycle Jackets with a Gore-Tex Membrane

Finally, there are Gore-Tex motorcycle jackets. The Gore-Tex membrane is the highest quality waterproof membrane that currently exists. You may have come across it in other clothing or heard of it. Gore-Tex has all the properties that high-quality motorcycle clothing should contain, and it is therefore only incorporated into more expensive motorcycle clothing. It is 100% wind/waterproof, highly breathable, and also cold-resistant.
