One look at the history of the iconic biker jacket – so beloved of music subcultures and film stars alike – might be enough to convince you that motorcycle jackets have generally always been the same. After all, when most of us think of biker jackets, we probably think of the leather jacket that was seemingly durable, warm and high quality the moment it was first worn on the battlefields of World War II – long before it came to be used by motorcyclists simply ‘going out for a ride’.
What changes could possibly be made to an undeniable design classic?
A reasonable answer to that question may well be “very little”. However, yesterday’s industry leader can be tomorrow’s mediocre and it is never possible for anyone riding a motorcycle – whether for recreational or other purposes – to be too safe.
This is very much the spirit in which our own highly advanced, fully 2017-ready and – most importantly – extremely safe motorcycle jackets here at Airvest were designed and made.
The traditional aesthetic, with contemporary safety standards
Riders desiring a motorcycle jacket that physically resembles the traditional leather biker jacket design they have always loved, but which incorporates all of the conceivable safety enhancements of 2017, will be well-served by the leather air jacket now available from Helite.
We are delighted here at Airvest to be the UK distributors for Helite body-worn airbag protection, and products like this biker jacket help to explain why. While it may look like a regular unassuming brown or black biker jacket, it actually incorporates all of the touches that are needed in today’s motorcycle jackets to ensure the absolute highest level of protection in the event of a crash.
These include a hidden Velcro neck panel, for instance, that inflates to help shield the wearer from whiplash injuries, as well as an elastic mesh under the arms and side that enables the airbag to extend over their entire upper body.
It is an impressively featured biker jacket that appeals to those desiring both style and safety in their chosen garment – but then, much the same could be said of the Helite Touring Jacket that is also in our stock. This jacket, which has been developed with leisure riders specifically in mind, boasts a breathable Humax membrane, multiple pockets and easily adjustable fastenings as part of the complete safety-oriented motorcycle jacket for all seasons.
