Motorcycle Jackets – safety, comfort and style for every type of riding
A great motorcycle jacket shouldn’t just protect you – it should fit perfectly, feel right and perform in every situation. At Hanssons MC, you’ll find carefully selected motorcycle jackets for touring, commuting, custom, sport and adventure riding. We only work with brands we trust, offering high quality, smart details and proven safety.
Whether you need a ventilated summer jacket, a durable leather jacket or an advanced laminated all‑weather jacket, we have models that deliver the right protection, the right function and the right feel – in all conditions and throughout the season.
Materials – leather or textile?
Motorcycle jackets are primarily made from two main materials: leather and textile. Each has its strengths, and the right choice depends on your riding style, comfort needs and the feel you want on the bike.
Leather – cowhide, goatskin or kangaroo
Cowhide: softer and thicker than goat, very durable and provides a stable, secure feel. The most common leather in MC jackets.
Goatskin: thinner and lighter thanks to its dense fibre structure, making it more abrasion‑resistant per millimetre. Ideal for flexible areas and gloves.
Kangaroo: extremely light and strong, used mainly in racing and premium gear.
Textile – functional and versatile
Textile jackets use advanced synthetic fabrics such as Cordura, Mugello Fabric, Ripstop and other high‑performance weaves. They are lighter than leather, offer better ventilation and perform exceptionally well in Nordic climates.
Reinforcements – added protection where it matters
Many jackets include reinforcements in high‑impact areas, such as Kevlar/Aramid, HI‑ART or SuperFabric. These materials significantly increase abrasion resistance without adding unnecessary weight.
Construction – laminated, drop‑liner or mesh
Laminated construction: the membrane is bonded directly to the outer fabric, making the jacket fully waterproof and quick‑drying.
Drop‑liner/Z‑liner: the membrane hangs freely behind the outer shell, offering a softer feel but slower drying.
Removable membrane: flexible for riders who face both warm and cold conditions.
Mesh: open‑weave panels that provide maximum airflow in summer jackets.
Leather Jackets – classic style and maximum durability
Leather is the natural choice for riders who want a jacket that shapes to the body and lasts for many years. Perfect for custom, cruiser and anyone who appreciates timeless motorcycle style.
Textile Jackets – versatile and functional
Textile jackets are popular among touring and everyday riders thanks to their comfort, ventilation and flexibility. Here you’ll find everything from lightweight summer jackets to advanced all‑weather jackets with membranes and smart ventilation.
Summer Jackets – maximum airflow and freedom of movement
On warm days, a ventilated mesh jacket is unbeatable. You get airflow, low weight and CE‑approved protection without compromise.
Touring Jackets – built for long rides and all weather conditions
Touring jackets are designed for riders who travel far and often. Laminates, large ventilation panels, many pockets and high comfort make them the best choice for Nordic conditions.
How to choose the right motorcycle jacket
Fit – the most important factor
A jacket should fit close to the body without restricting movement. Proper fit keeps the protection in place and improves comfort.
Protection – CE‑approved levels
We recommend jackets with CE‑approved shoulder and elbow protectors and space for a back protector.
Ventilation – especially important in Nordic climates
Good airflow reduces heat, fatigue and fogging. Choose a jacket with adjustable ventilation if you ride in varying temperatures.
