How to Find High-Quality Motorcycle Leather Vests in Sydney

25th Oct 2024

Riding around Sydney can sometimes feel like a chore in those peak hour times, and we do not doubt that safety is key. But we also know that riding with style and making a statement can boost that self-confidence and let you enjoy the road whether you are in traffic or cruising at 100km/h.

Finding a perfect leather vest that looks great, feels right and brings your rebel side out can be a challenge. But fear not, RhinoLeather is just a Sydney ride away, so you can ride in, try on and ride out with style.

Understanding What Makes a High-Quality Motorcycle Leather Vest

Investing in a high-quality vest is the best option for a vest that is durable, comfortable and functions just how a vest should. It can be tempting to choose cheap leather options, but unfortunately, cheaper options tend to wear and tear quicker and are not as comfortable.

A High-Quality Vest should fit well, last a long time and fit your persona. Leather vests also provide protection against debris in the case of a fall, so, high quality vests should be tough enough to withstand weather and elements but feel soft and comfortable enough for long rides.

Features to Look for in a Motorcycle Leather Vest

Leather vests are stylish but are also part of your shield from the road. When trying to find a Motorcycle Leather Vest in Sydney, there a few key points that you should consider and Rhinoleather have most definitely put these points into consideration:

  1. Premium Leather Quality: Full Grain or Top Grain Leather is by far the best. Best for durability, will age gracefully and will feel like your second skin. Any cheap leather or Faux leather will have a list of problems such as cracking, peeling, less comfort, reduced protection and poor appearance over a short time.
  2. Thickness & Durability: A thickness between 1.2-1.4mm is perfect for the balance between protection and comfort. The vest should be easy to move in.
  3. Stitching & Construction: Any double or triple stitching will offer more strength.
  4. Fit & Adjustability: If a vest hugs your body and does not restrict any movement, then you may have found the one. Alot of our vests also have adjustable straps or side laces which means you can adjust to your liking if you are putting thicker clothing underneath, or Christmas gave you a couple more kilos.
  5. Pockets & Storage: Pockets are a perfect way to ride without baggage. Zipper or button pockets keep your basics safe.
  6. Style & Design: Classic look, rebel look, or a vest for patches. Whatever statement you want to make or whatever way you want to feel in your vest, we can cover it at RhinoLeather.

How to Maintain Your Leather Vest for Longevity

A little TLC goes a long way, and this goes for leather vests as well. It will keep it looking on point and last a lot longer.

  • Regular Cleaning: After long rides or when you feel it may need a light clean, use mild soap and water to remove any dirt or dust. Do this by using a damp cloth. Avoid any harsh cleaners.
  • Conditioning: Every 3-6months, depending on usage, apply a leather conditioner to keep it subtle. If you do not do this, leather can dry and crack.
  • Proper Storage: Hang leather is a cool and dry place. Avoid moisture and direct sunlight.
