A New Kind of Leather Motorcycle Jacket

Categories: Apparel & Product Reviews, Leather Jackets and Vests Reviews

One of my great finds walking among the vendors at Arizona Bike Week in Scottsdale in April was Lycaon Custom Leathers. The high fashion stylish nature of the leather jackets hanging on the rack catches my eye. These are no ordinary riding jackets. I learn that each jacket is tanned with hydrology tanning technology, which has revolutionized the leather tanning process. This allows the leather to be cleaned by putting it in the washing machine.

PRODUCT REVIEW: Olympia Moto Sports Airglide Pants and Jacket

There’s no shelter where I can pull over to bundle up under my gear, but thankfully I’d zipped the waterproof liner in before I’d headed uphill.

Mustang Seats just came out with a new one-piece Super Touring design to provide rider and passenger with a more comfortable and ergonomically friendly riding position on 2008-10 Harley-Davidson FL models. The seat moves the rider back from stock 1.75 inches, and lowers her so she has a better chance of reaching her feet firmly on the ground. The deeply pocketed saddle measures a wide 19 inches.

In response to her customers telling her that her motorcycle riding jackets need more room in the bust Shelly Reiner, owner Girl Gear Apparel, redesigned her line of textile jackets to accommodate this need. Shelly says, “I am excited about the sizing because it is better suited to fit the chest and front of women. Some of my friends who only fit in mens jackets are able to fit into these sizes.”
