Triumph Motorcycle Clothing
Triumph Romero Jacket and Triumph Classic Jeans II We’ve come a long way from the days when a typical motorcycle shop was a dingy backwater garage crowded with grimy bikes. Although motorcycle manufacturers have caught on to modern marketing techniques, they still don’t always get it, in my opinion. But that’s another story for another …
Clover Beverly Women’s Motorcycle Jacket
Clover “Beverly” Women’s Motorcycle Jacket Review Clover may seem like a strange brand name for a motorcycle clothing manufacturer. It’s not clear how the name originated, but I’m told by my Italian speaking friends that “clover” in Italian means…clover in English. I’m not sure what that tells us, but I do know that this Clover …
Belstaff Trialmaster Jacket Review
Belstaff Trialmaster Jacket This is it, folks – get ’em while you can.

Lookwell One-Piece Leather Suit Review
A Lookwell Leather Suit The Lookwell Leathers one-piece leather suit is surprisingly comfortable. It has nice overall styling that looks better than the photos may indicate.

Tourmaster Advanced Jacket Review
Tourmaster “Advanced” Jacket Review I have a confession to make. With dozens of textile and leather motorcycle jackets, pants and every other type of motorcycle gear on the planet to choose from, my most frequently used article of clothing is an old pair of Tourmaster pants. Those pants were one of the first items reviewed on …

Firstgear Hyperext Mesh Women’s Jacket Review
It doesn’t get much cooler than this. The Firstgear Hypertex Mesh II jacket has excellent air flow. The pants aren’t quite as cool if you’re riding behind a fairing however. Both the jacket and pants are very comfortable. The jacket runs true to size; the pants seem a touch short. The jacket zips to pants …
High Visibility Reflective Motorcycle Jacket Review
BikeSeen Fluorescent Blouson Over-Jacket Next time you see an advertisement for a motorcycle rain suit, check out the color. Chances are it will be black or some dark shade of green or gray. This has always been a source of amazement to me. Because if I’m riding in the rain (an admittedly rare occurrence if …
Joe Rocket Blaster Jacket Review
Joe Rocket Blaster 2.0 Jacket Review The Joe Rocket Blaster perforated leather jacket is relatively inexpensive. It also mates to all current Joe Rocket pants. But the loose sleeve cuff zippers don’t stay put and the leather feels a bit stiff. It’s comfortable and flows lots of air, so it’s a good replacement for a …
Joe Rocket Alter Ego Jacket & Pants

Gerbings Heated Jacket Liner
Gerbings Heated Jacket Liner This review has been updated since it was originally posted.

REV’IT! Motorcycle Riding Jacket
REV’IT! “Motion” Jacket of REV’IT! motorcycle clothing, and with good reason. In our opinion, REV’IT! makes some of the best quality, most skillfully designed motorcycle clothing on the planet.

Aerostich Darien Jacket Review
The Beemer Rider’s Uniform The Aerostich Darien is a nicely made jacket. It can be hot in the summer. The armor feels loose inside; the jacket does not have cinch straps on the arms.

Moto-Air Motorcycle Airbag Jacket Review
The Moto-Air Motorcycle Airbag Jacket Potential for motorcycle riders not quite realized. Back in the old days, automobiles didn’t have seat belts or padded dashboards, much less “passive restraint systems” like airbags. Airbags were something you read about in a Popular Mechanics magazine “Cars of the Future” article. Why would anyone possibly need or want …
Diamond Plate Classic Leather Motorcycle Jacket Review
The Patchwork Leather Jacket Remember the Mods and the Rockers? No, not a rock group, but the young British rebel gangs of the 1960’s.

Joe Rocket Phoenix Jacket Review
Joe Rocket Phoenix Review I’ll take a wild guess and say that something like 97% of motorcycling is done in fine weather. So one of the mysteries of motorcycling is why does it seem easier to dress for cold weather than warm? Most motorcycle clothing is heavy, bulky, windproof and water resistant. It seems designed …
Joe Rocket Speedmaster Jacket Review
Joe Rocket Speedmaster Jacket The Joe Rocket Speedmaster jacket has good leather quality. It also has a decent amount of protection and the price is reasonable.
