Introduction With the Summer of 2021 fast approaching (or already here depending on my publish date), I found myself looking...
This is the third in our series of reviews featuring Alpinestars mesh motorcycle clothing. First up was the Alpinestars T-Stunt 2 mesh...
The Bull-it Carbon and Roadster jackets are an excellent blend of casual looks and tough protection. Neither jacket gives away its function as protective gear, as the styling of both jackets is subdued. In fact, if the protectors were removed, I see no reason that these jackets couldn’t be used...
The Dainese Aspide jacket is new for 2012. It is a lighter-weight motorcycle jacket designed to provide good air flow...
The new year is almost here, and that means riding season is only a couple of months away (for most...
I was hoping to get this review out of the way several weeks ago, back when the weather was at its most sultry. Now that September has arrived with its promise of cooler temperatures, I figured we’d better get this done before it’s too late. If this Fieldsheer jacket and...
The Scorpion Vortex Air Jacket: Awesome Budget-Friendly Summer Gear To not put too fine a point on it, the summer...
Introduction to the Icon Field Armor Compression Shirt I purchased this piece of hot-weather riding gear to wear on those...
The Icon Strongarm 13 is a very cool “custom” jacket. It has over-the-top staying but it’s actually very comfortable, includes vents and even armor! Don’t get scared guys — the Strongarm 13 really is a men’s jacket, but #13 was lucky for me. The jacket wasn’t supposed to be mine, but...
Ixon is one of the few manufacturers who have addressed the need for children’s motorcycle clothing. Their children’s motorcycle clothing...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh outfit is reasonably priced. The jacket fits well and it flows a lot of air....
The Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 jacket is, as its name implies, the fifth generation of what was once a ground-breaking design. But time has moved on and the Phoenix jacket hasn’t really improved as much as I’d hoped and expected. It still flows a huge amount of air. And the...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix Ion Jacket is a variant of the long-running and ever-popular Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh jacket (review). Our...
I’ll take a wild guess and say that something like 97% of motorcycling is done in fine weather. So one...
A hot weather jacket that is a happy medium between keeping you cool and keeping you protected. Beating the heat. When the temps go up people tend wear clothes that cover less of their skin. This of course allows more air to flow over the skin, which then helps to...
Editor’s Note: this review came out in 2017 and is for an older version of the Klim Induction Jacket. For...
Review Summary: The Klim Induction jacket is a lightweight, visible, and tough jacket that makes an excellent choice for hot...
Knox Urban Pro Ladies Shirt As the warmer weather was coming, I was looking for a lightweight jacket or shirt I could wear on the bike or something to go under a hoodie that would still give me the protection I crave when riding. I was at my local bike...
have become very popular in the few years that they’ve been on the market, and with good reason. They’re a...
Can there ever be too many choices for warm weather clothing? I’m not sure if the “perfect” mesh combo exists...
Potential for motorcycle riders not quite realized. Back in the old days, automobiles didn’t have seat belts or padded dashboards, much less “passive restraint systems” like airbags. Airbags were something you read about in a Popular Mechanics magazine “Cars of the Future” article. Why would anyone possibly need or want...
Being that I live in a very warm climate, I was eager to test any jacket that offered good ventilation...
The Pilot Direct Air jacket is good-looking, nicely made and comes in a variety of color combinations. It’s a hybrid mesh/textile...
Like the Pilot Visto Air high-visibility jacket I reviewedrecently, the even simpler Pilot Slate Air jacket works as advertised. It is a comfortable and well-made mesh-based high-air-flow garment and costs just $99.99. Large sections of “Pilotex” micro-mesh fabric provide the ventilation. Strong and durable sections of 600 denier textile with CE-rated...
The Pilot Visto Hi-Viz Jacket is a near clone of the Pilot Direct Air jacket we reviewed in June 2014, but with...
We’d like to thank the RevZilla team for providing this REAX Apex Pro jacket at no-cost for the purpose of...
First, some background: REAX is a new riding apparel line recently launched by Comoto Holdings – that’s RevZilla and Cycle Gear to you and me. I am fortunate to have friends working within this group, who were willing to speak candidly with me about it, on the condition they be...
The Rev’it Air jacket is new for 2008. It’s designed for hot weather riding and it offers sophisticated styling with...
Summer weather is just around the corner in this part of the world, meaning that it’s a good time to...
REV’IT! Coral Ladies Jacket: Hella Style Meets Solid Function I’ve got to admit; this review process has changed my mind about an entire genre of motorcycle jackets. When the team here at wBW lined up everybody for their choice of gear to review, I was excited to get my hands...
Review Summary Comfortable, casual hoody for urban motorcycling and off-the-bike wear. This is not a robust, highly technical piece, but...
I have long admired REV’IT!’s ability to combine a high degree of technical specification with modern style – clean, slim...
The Roadgear Adaptive-Tech vest and jacket are soft, comfortable and stylish. They can be worn as liners for motorcycle jackets or off the bike for street wear. Outlast “phase change” material is relatively new to the world of motorcycling. But, our sport provides an ideal environment to evaluate the benefits...
The Rukka AiRider jacket is new for 2014 and it has the same Cordura AFT mesh shell of the type...
The Rukka AirMan jacket is an update of the Rukka Airway jacket, reviewed exactly one year ago on webBikeWorld. The Airway was...
The Rukka Airway jacket and AirVision pants combo is designed for hot-weather riding. But unlike most mesh motorcycle clothing, this gear is built to take all you can dish out — and then some. The Airway/AirVision outfit is more successful in many ways than the Rukka Armas outfit (review), which is designed for...
Scorpion Cargo Air Jacket: a Ventilated Summer & Hot Weather Jacket The ride review for this jacket will admittedly be...
Comfortable jacket works surprisingly well in warm weather. The wild “Rasta” colors are also highly visible and the jacket is available...
The Teiz Motorsports Sahara jacket is a comfortable, functional garment. It served me well throughout the entire 15 days of the western portion of the Trans America Trail ride. The fit — bespoke in this case — was great and if you don’t notice your gear when wearing it, it’s doing something...
The Tourmaster Intake Air Series 2 is one of several Tourmaster jackets that have similar design features. It is available in...
