How to Choose the Perfect Men's Leather Motorcycle Jacket on RhinoLeather

The ultimate biker look is a leather jacket. Wearing that jacket on the open road not only looks cool but is one of the best riding protection tools you can have.

There are so many options of leather jackets out there and RhinoLeather understands the importance of High-Quality Leather, protection and the Biker lifestyle.

Here is a guide to minimise your leather jacket search and maximise the wear of a great leather jacket.

Introduction to Leather Motorcycle Jackets

Leather Motorcycle Jackets make a statement, but beyond their Bad-Ass reputation, they are the best protection against road rash in a case of an accident and against elements while riding.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Motorcycle Jacket

When searching for that perfect leather jacket, a few points should be considered:

1: Protection – Armour in the elbows, shoulder and back will make a big difference in a fall. The armour should all be CE-Approved.

2: Quality of Material – Full grain leather is best for protection and durability. Top grain is slightly less durable though it is still quality leather and more affordable.

3: Ventilation – Perforated panels or ventilation zippers really help on a hot day.

4: Pockets – Pockets to put items away safely makes riding much more enjoyable. RhinoLeathers Frontier jacket is an example of a jacket with internal pockets to keep items safe and dry.

5: Style – Modern style to vintage styles, choose a jacket that fits your style and don't be afraid to branch out.

Choosing the Right Size

Jackets shouldn't be too tight, as it will restrict movement or be too loose, which will provide less protection. It can be hard to understand your measurements, especially online. Here are some tips to get you the right sized jacket.

1: Measure your chest/waist – The chest and waist are the most important measurements. Measure the fullest part of the chest and around the belly button area of the waist. If you are ordering online, measure according to the guidelines then compare with the size chart.

2: Consider Layers Underneath – Keep in mind what you will be wearing underneath. If you do plan on wearing a couple of layers underneath, leave a bit more room for the layers without making it too loose.

3: Check Sleeve Length – If you have the jacket on, extend your arms like you are riding your motorcycle. If you are not able to try it on, check the sleeve length measurement. Sleeves should be long enough to cover your wrists when riding.

4: Reach out to us - The staff at RhinoLeather have Telefitting appointments or you can contact us, and we will help as much as we can.

Maintenance and Care Tips

Leather is strong and durable and giving it proper care will give it a longer life and keep it looking good. Here are our tips to keep your jacket happy.

1: Clean regularly - To remove any dirt or grime, using a simple damp cloth should do the trick. If you feel it needs a deeper clean, a leather cleaner will get down to the nitty gritty.

2: Condition the Leather - Leather can dry out and crack. Applying a leather conditioner every 3-6 months will prevent this. Depending on how often you use it, the climate it is subjected to and the type of leather, you may need more or less.

3: Store it Correctly – Hang leather jackets out of direct sunlight and on a padded hanger. Try to keep it in a dry, cool place.

4: Avoid Water - Leather jackets are water resistant but not waterproof. If you do get caught out in a rainstorm, let the jacket air dry naturally with no forced heat.

5: Apply waterproofing spray: Applying a leather waterproofing spray will make a barrier between the wet and the leather. It is quick and easy and gives you piece of mind. This waterproofing spray at RhinoLeather has proven to be very popular and does the job well.

Leather jackets can cost a pretty penny but are worth it for what you get out of it. Because we all love a bargain, here are some of RhinoLeather Budget tips:
