Motorcycle leather should be treated with leather conditioner periodically. This will help to keep it waterproof, as well as soft and comfortable, while extending it’s life. Even in a rainstorm at highway speed a properly treated leather motorcycle jacket, along with the accompanying leather chaps and gloves will do an excellent job of keeping a rider warm and dry.
Even when the leather becomes somewhat damp from prolonged exposure to wet weather, it still acts as an excellent windbreak to keep the rider from getting severely chilled.
A good quality leather motorcycle jacket can also help to keep you cooler in warmer weather and protect you from the sun’s harmful rays. These jackets have vents that can be opened to allow airflow between the jacket and the rider’s skin, carrying away excess heat and moisture in the process.
