Forget the myths and prejudices.

"A LEATHER JACKET IS HOT..." > WRONG!

Leather breathes. Leather is a natural material that acts as a perfectly natural membrane, wicking moisture away efficiently while still protecting you. Just as your feet don't sweat in leather shoes, riding in a leather jacket is comfortable even in warmer weather thanks to the perforation.

Strategic perforation. Thanks to perforation in zones where air flows, riding is pleasant even on hot days. At the same time, the perforations are positioned so as not to compromise safety — for example, away from protector areas and seams.

"A LEATHER JACKET IS HEAVY..." > ONLY AT FIRST GLANCE!

Yes, when you pick it up you may notice a slight difference. However, at higher speeds this difference works in leather's favour. Once you put on the leather jacket and ride off, you won't notice the weight difference at all. While riding, the weight is distributed across your shoulders and the jacket doesn't restrict you in any way.

On the contrary, at higher speeds — for example 120 km/h and above — a leather jacket helps stabilise your ride thanks to its firmness. The stiffer material handles airflow much better; the jacket doesn't flutter and holds its shape. This advantage of leather jackets is highly valued on today's powerful touring motorcycles. While riding you don't have to think about any limiting influences and can fully concentrate on what matters most: the ride itself. And that is exactly why experienced riders and professionals prefer it.

"TEXTILE IS JUST AS SAFE AS LEATHER..." > IT IS NOT.

It sounds nice, but the reality on the race track and on the road is clear: leather has no competition. Over 15 years of experience with crashes in world road motorcycle championships confirms it: no other material combines strength, elasticity and durability the way leather does.

All synthetic materials involve compromises — you either lose strength, flexibility or longevity. Leather is the only material where no concessions are made. That is why it is the number-one choice wherever safety, comfort and timelessness matter.

OUR EXPERIENCE?

LEATHER ALWAYS FINDS ITS WAY.

From experience we know that most beginner riders first consider a textile jacket. It is light, often cheaper and comfortable at first glance. But as the kilometres add up — and unfortunately sometimes after the first crash — the perspective changes. The second choice is no longer about looks or price, but about real-world protection and performance in traffic. A leather jacket provides a several times higher level of protection, holds its shape better, is more stable in the wind and provides greater comfort on longer rides. That is why the majority of motorcyclists come back to it sooner or later.
