Motorcycle Equipment Basics -Synthetic vs. Leather Biker Jackets

Article Category: Automotive

Author Name: chickie maxwell

The jacket is one of the biker's primary forms of motorcycle equipment that protects them from the harsh weather when easy riding is called for. Leather definitely provides that cool look that riders are characteristically known for. Wouldn't everyone want one especially when the opportunity to hop on a bike comes along- Wild Hogs anyone? Here are a few considerations when people are undecided whether to get a synthetic fiber jacket or leather biker jacket.

Cost

Ah yes, with the current financial problems that everyone has to deal with, the cost of either leather or synthetic material comes to mind rather easily. Leather is definitely a more costly material compared to many synthetic fibers that are available today. Leather jackets that are of an average size will have its price ranging from 250 to 500 dollars.

Similar sized jackets made of synthetic fibers come at a much lower price with an average cost of 100 dollars on average. Nevertheless, do take note that some brands of synthetic fiber biker jackets can be priced as high as 200 dollars apiece. Shoppers should also further note that the prices of biker jackets tend to get jacked up when additional features like abrasion resistant coatings or body armor is added. These added highlights tend to make different kinds of motorcycle equipment more expensive.

Comfort and Style

When it comes to fashion, shoppers can say that both leather and synthetic fibers can become pretty fashionable. Each material provides its own unique look. However, with regard to comfort, leather jackets tend to be more comfortable for more people. However, synthetic fibers may provide a degree of warmth but not as much as the warmth and familiar comfort from leather. One important characteristic of leather that no one should overlook is its resistance to abrasions. In contrast, synthetic fibers have less resistance on several levels.

Care

Leather biker jackets require a lot more care compared to jackets made using synthetic fibers. Shoppers should note that leather will require additional protection from mildew. Some bikers even wear extra rain gear on top of the leather biker jacket that they already have on. Some people do not like the idea of packing extra pieces of motorcycle equipment, so this option might not appeal to them that much.

Leather also needs softening treatment using leather conditioners in order to keep it soft. Other than keeping the material dry and clean, there are a lot of things that should be done in order to take care of leather jackets.

In contrast, synthetic fiber jackets can withstand bad weather without using other types of motorcycle equipment. Synthetic fibers are typically lighter than leather and are not bulky. Synthetic fibers can provide the needed wind resistance and protection from precipitation.

There are also manufacturers that have included additional protection with their synthetic fabrics. Some of these outfits have even added protective body armor such as Kevlar on sensitive parts of the motor gear. On the other hand, some manufacturers have made their synthetic fibers more breathable thus making the jacket more comfortable to wear in the long run. Shoppers should keep these things in mind when choosing the type of motorcycle equipment they want to purchase.
