Review Summary: The Klim Induction jacket is a lightweight, visible, and tough jacket that makes an excellent choice for hot...
We’d like to thank the RevZilla team for providing this REAX Apex Pro jacket at no-cost for the purpose of...
Being that I live in a very warm climate, I was eager to test any jacket that offered good ventilation as well as solid protection. And the added benefit of the Motonation Metralla being designed for a woman was an added bonus that doesn’t come along very often. I ride...
Introduction Back in Summer, 2018, I was introduced to Czech riding apparel maker, Trilobite. They were a new name to...
Introduction With the Summer of 2021 fast approaching (or already here depending on my publish date), I found myself looking...
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...
The Bull-it Carbon and Roadster jackets are an excellent blend of casual looks and tough protection. Neither jacket gives away...
Knox Urban Pro Ladies Shirt As the warmer weather was coming, I was looking for a lightweight jacket or shirt...
This is the third in our series of reviews featuring Alpinestars mesh motorcycle clothing. First up was the Alpinestars T-Stunt 2 mesh jacket, then the matching Alpinestars ACR Air-Flo mesh pants, and this review features the ACR Air-Flo mesh jacket. We also have two pairs of Alpinestars jeans in the review pipeline, the...

Scorpion Cargo Air Jacket: a Ventilated Summer & Hot Weather Jacket The ride review for this jacket will admittedly be...
Introduction to the Icon Field Armor Compression Shirt I purchased this piece of hot-weather riding gear to wear on those days when the temperatures hover above 90 degrees. I live in the San Francisco Bay area. We have incredible micro climates year-round. I can ride 10 minutes in either direction...
I have long admired REV’IT!’s ability to combine a high degree of technical specification with modern style – clean, slim...
The Rukka AiRider jacket is new for 2014 and it has the same Cordura AFT mesh shell of the type...
The Scorpion Vortex Air Jacket: Awesome Budget-Friendly Summer Gear To not put too fine a point on it, the summer for the Northern hemisphere of the Earth was a broiler. Many temperature records were broken, then broken again, and again, as the mercury just did not want to stop heading...
Review Summary Comfortable, casual hoody for urban motorcycling and off-the-bike wear. This is not a robust, highly technical piece, but...
First, some background: REAX is a new riding apparel line recently launched by Comoto Holdings – that’s RevZilla and Cycle...
The Pilot Visto Hi-Viz Jacket is a near clone of the Pilot Direct Air jacket we reviewed in June 2014, but with one significant difference: the visibility factor. Instead of the strategically placed hi-viz insert panels used on the Direct Air, the Visto jacket is (almost) completely made up of high-visibility textile and...
A hot weather jacket that is a happy medium between keeping you cool and keeping you protected. Beating the heat....
The Rev’it Air jacket is new for 2008. It’s designed for hot weather riding and it offers sophisticated styling with...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix Ion Jacket is a variant of the long-running and ever-popular Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh jacket (review). Our feeling is that there’s not all that much difference between the standard Phoenix jacket and the Phoenix Ion version. There is one thing though: the “INNOLITE” reflective coating on the...
have become very popular in the few years that they’ve been on the market, and with good reason. They’re a...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix 5.0 jacket is, as its name implies, the fifth generation of what was once a ground-breaking...
Summer weather is just around the corner in this part of the world, meaning that it’s a good time to take a look at the latest in mesh motorcycle apparel for 2006. Mesh motorcycle apparel has only been available for about 3 years or so, and each year seems to bring...
Can there ever be too many choices for warm weather clothing? I’m not sure if the “perfect” mesh combo exists...
Editor’s Note: this review came out in 2017 and is for an older version of the Klim Induction Jacket. For...
Ixon is one of the few manufacturers who have addressed the need for children’s motorcycle clothing. Their children’s motorcycle clothing line is pretty small, if you’ll pardon the pun. It consists of the Los Angeles jacket for boys and the very unfortunately named “Lolita” jacket for girls. They also make...
The Tourmaster Intake Air Series 2 is one of several Tourmaster jackets that have similar design features. It is available in...
The Icon Strongarm 13 is a very cool “custom” jacket. It has over-the-top staying but it’s actually very comfortable, includes vents...
The Dainese Aspide jacket is new for 2012. It is a lighter-weight motorcycle jacket designed to provide good air flow with decent protection and a lot of style. The Aspide is not a mesh jacket, but the special Cordura fabric provides excellent air flow. Protection includes EC Level 1 shoulder...
The Roadgear Adaptive-Tech vest and jacket are soft, comfortable and stylish. They can be worn as liners for motorcycle jackets...
The Teiz Motorsports Sahara jacket is a comfortable, functional garment. It served me well throughout the entire 15 days of the...
The Rukka AirMan jacket is an update of the Rukka Airway jacket, reviewed exactly one year ago on webBikeWorld. The Airway was a short length jacket but the AirMan is now a longer adventure-touring design. There’s really no comparison between the two however, because the AirMan has many new features and a...
Like the Pilot Visto Air high-visibility jacket I reviewedrecently, the even simpler Pilot Slate Air jacket works as advertised. It is...
Potential for motorcycle riders not quite realized. Back in the old days, automobiles didn’t have seat belts or padded dashboards,...
Comfortable jacket works surprisingly well in warm weather. The wild “Rasta” colors are also highly visible and the jacket is available with several other unique graphic patterns. If you’re a smaller motorcycle clothing manufacturer competing with the big guys, what do you do? Don’t follow — lead! It’s a story that has...
I’ll take a wild guess and say that something like 97% of motorcycling is done in fine weather. So one...
I was hoping to get this review out of the way several weeks ago, back when the weather was at...
The Pilot Direct Air jacket is good-looking, nicely made and comes in a variety of color combinations. It’s a hybrid mesh/textile jacket, with large sections of “Pilotex” mesh for ventilation with textile on the abrasion points. Included is a removable waterproof liner and CE-rated protectors in the shoulders and elbows. The jacket...
The Joe Rocket Phoenix mesh outfit is reasonably priced. The jacket fits well and it flows a lot of air....
