Motorcycle jackets

Motorcycle jackets
Can I ride a turtle in the city or wear a regular jacket over the protection (turtle)?

Wearing a civilian motorcycle jacket over a turtle is wrong and here's why:

  • quite uncomfortable to remove/put on "turtle" every time
  • the majority of the "turtle" dedicated to the city and is poorly protected from abrasion, thin grid on which are mounted all of the protective parts will break in the first place and the skin do not protect, motorcycle jackets keep much more long-lasting friction
  • in the so-called "turtles" protective elements are made of plastic, plastic is much worse absorbs shock force in contrast to the material D3O, which is used in all motorcycle jackets Icon
  • "turtle" is used mainly when driving off-road, for the city it is better to use a motorcycle jacket
How good is the protection in a motorcycle jacket?
For the most part, all motorcycle jackets presented in our catalog have certified protection D3O Level 1 back, elbows and shoulders. Optionally, the level of protection can be increased to D3O Level 2 by purchasing additional kit.
Than motokura different from the usual?
  • the outer cut is made of friction-resistant material
  • equipped with removable shoulder, elbow and back protection
  • motorcycle jacket has special ventilation channels
  • it has special elements that do not restrict movement and eliminate excessive tension when landing with outstretched arms

... and many other nuances, which are considered in the question"how to choose a motorcycle jacket."

How to choose a motorcycle jacket?

We will list the basic functionality of motorcycle jackets, and you decide what is important to you and pay attention to it when buying or ask a question to the consultant during the fitting.

So, pay attention to:

  • a complete set of protection (back, elbows, shoulders) so you don't have to buy later. Not infrequently, back protection is not present in the standard configuration. Icon has a full set of protection.
  • note the presence of ventilation valves
  • there are mesh mesh jackets for very hot weather
  • leather jackets are good in cool weather because they are not blown, in the middle of summer it is better to choose a textile
  • high the gate will incidentally in temperatures below +15 degrees
  • removable insulated lining allows you to use a motorcycle jacket in cool weather
  • some models have loops on the sleeves to prevent the wind from rising and blowing into the sleeve

That concerns size, then protection elbows and shoulders must lie there where You have elbows and shoulders. With outstretched arms, the sleeves of the jacket should be bone-deep.

Why protection soft?

This material is called D3O, it is elastic, comfortably takes the shape of the body, and at the time of impact solid in 100% of cases. It all happens in an instant, can not work – it is the laws of physics and the properties of the material. These safety inserts comply with the generally accepted Level 1 safety element standard. Also in the range there is a D3O Level 2, they are 2 times thicker and a head more effective than standard tolerances.

What to choose? Leather or textiles?

Choose based on the fact that the textile jacket will be better blown, and in the skin in the peak season in the city traffic will be very hot. If finances allow, it is better to have 2 jackets: one for very hot weather, the second with a high collar and insulated lining for spring and autumn. Modern materials have approached the wear resistance to the skin, so the safety can be said that they are about the same. All Icon jackets come with full protection (back, elbows and shoulders).

Which motorcycle jacket is suitable for hot weather?
To clean, use a special type of motoconchos from the grid. They perfectly pass the maximum air and have all the necessary protection.
