About Road Jackets

At AMX we love riding our bikes no matter the weather, that is why we recommend having a road jacket to handle all weather conditions. The most cost-effective way to achieve this is by purchasing an all-season textile jacket. We also offer specific Summer and Winter jacket options, to suit every rider’s price range and personal preference.

Need a lighter jacket for the warmer summer months, then a Summer textile jacket is what you’re looking for. Built to keep you cool, Summer textile jackets have vents and mesh panels to promote airflow and prevent the build-up of heat. On the flipside, if you are looking for a jacket which will keep you warm and toasty during winter, look no further than a Winter textile jacket. Designed to keep the elements out and your body warm, a winter jacket has a detachable thermal liner and fewer vents than a Summer textile jacket, to help keep the heat in.

Leather jackets have been a stylish and popular style of jacket since the early days of motorcycle riding. Significant advances in technology have been made since then, but the key point stays the same: leather is the safest option in riding jackets.

If a casual look is more your style, ride shirts are a lightweight, yet protective, alternative to a road jacket. They are a great choice for riders who feel constricted when wearing traditional riding gear, but still want to wear some sort of protective equipment to keep them safe.

Vests are becoming a popular choice for riders, offering both protection and a way to wear your patches on the road.

Why It’s Important to Choose the Right Road Jackets

All season textile jackets are the best of both worlds and can easily adapt to the seasons, so you can ride on the hottest and coldest days of the year, without having to change jackets. Basic models of all-season textile jackets are built with a removable thermal layer, allowing easy customisation depending on weather conditions. Thick textile jackets with closable ventilation panels are a popular choice as they allow riders to toggle the amount of airflow while riding. Most All-Season textile jackets incorporate waterproofing or water resistance in some area to help keep you dry in we conditions.

Sportsbike riders tend to enjoy a shorter cut of jacket, while riders on touring and cruiser bikes may find it more comfortable to wear a longer cut jacket.

Whatever the Aussie summer heat throws at you, a Summer Textile Jacket will keep you cool and enjoying the ride, even during a scorcher of a day. During the cooler winter months, a Winter Textile Jacket will keep you warm and toasty, even on the coldest of days. Both Summer and Winter Textile Jackets tend to feature removable rain liners, removable thermal liners and zipper ventilation to help keep you cool, or warm, respectively. No matter what the weather outside, the right jacket for the job can be found at AMX.

An important consideration when shopping for a leather jacket is the climate of where you will be riding. Riders based in Victoria, Tasmania and cooler areas may benefit from a leather jacket with an additional thermal liner for warmth, whereas riders based in Queensland, Western Australia and warmer areas may benefit more from high levels of venting or open textile sections. Sports bike riders may want to look into a higher end sports jacket with lots of protective padding, a the additional padding tends to mould the rider into riding position, resulting in a more comfortable ride. Cruiser riders may benefit from a free-flowing jacket with less padding, as these jackets are less constricting and allow for more movement.

Ride shirts make use of DuPont’s Kevlar, a strong abrasion resistant, tear resistant and heat resistant material, usually found in products such as riding jeans. Included with many of our riding shirts are removable elbow and shoulder pads, as well as light back protection pads for additional protection.

A motorcycle vest is a great way to customise your jackets to your style, if you belong to a motorcycle club, or own multiple jackets, for example. Leather vests also provide additional protection when worn over a jacket, in which case, you may need to buy in a size or two larger than your jacket.
