Motorcycle jacket is an important piece of clothing every biker should have and there are two adventurous options, leather-made jacket or nylon-made jacket. Which of two looks best for you?
Biker jacket protects the rider from heat, cold, rain or even any incidents they might meet on the road. These jackets are made to assure the safety of the riders, so the material it is made of should be genuine and not the cheap ones that is being brought from bargain basements.
Nylon or synthetic biker jacket is used as an alternative to leather for several years and normally called Sportbike jacket. Alpine Stars, Icon and Joe Rocket are the leading manufacturers of synthetic jacket today. When choosing the right motorcycle jacket for you, there are three things you should consider: durability, look and price.
Durability
Leather is a strong material, it can withstand any weather condition, absorbs shock when you fall off your bike, and even prevents bugs from hitting painfully on our chest. Synthetic jacket is lightweight but it has reinforced elbows, spine protector and plastic reinforcements that add to its durability.
Look
Both leather and synthetic jackets come in different colors and designs. Leather always gives the biker the traditional rough and cool look and synthetic also gives pretty much the same thing.
Price
