Choosing your mid-season BMW motorcycle jacket by textile

When buying a new jacket, you can compare different models based on many criteria, one of which is the textile material.

BMW Motorrad offers several textile options, each providing different benefits for spring and autumn:

• Leather: This option provides superior protection and is usually perforated to allow air circulation.
• Denim: A versatile option that offers great comfort for daily wear.
• Textile: A category with many options, providing a choice for all types of riders.

Overall, BMW Motorrad jackets are all designed to provide premium comfort and protection. You can confidently choose your next jacket… but make sure to adapt it to your needs and, consequently, your riding style.

Choosing your mid-season BMW jacket based on riding style

Adapting your motorcycle jacket to your riding style is crucial to ensuring you have the right protection for your bike and usage.

BMW Motorrad gear is categorized by motorcycle and scooter ranges, including:

• Urban for city riding and scooters
• Adventure for GS and enduro rides
• Touring for long-distance travel
• Roadster for dynamic urban and suburban riding
• Sport for high-performance riding
• Heritage for riders with a classic and timeless style

We will present the best options for each style.

Motorcycle jackets for enduro riding

It is important to note that enduro jackets include protectors specifically designed for off-road use, such as long NPL or Pro back protectors, NP2 or NP3 elbow and shoulder protectors, and are generally made of highly resistant materials to provide better protection in case of falls in off-road conditions.

These jackets offer advanced features such as waterproofing and additional ventilation options for highly sporty riding.

There are the GS Rallye ranges (GTX, AIR, and standard), providing highly effective ventilation and particularly suited for enduro riding. These are available for both men and women. These Rallye jackets are equipped with a large back pocket to insert a hydration pack.

Other BMW Motorrad collections are lighter and offer fewer features intended for enduro riding while still maintaining a typically GS style, such as the collections GS Tatacoa or GS Adrar. These are perfect for road riding in moderate seasons.

BMW Motorrad Lightweight Jackets for the City

Motorcycle jackets designed for city riding are intended for exclusive road use, whether in urban areas or beyond, for short to medium distances. BMW offers numerous options to best meet the needs of every rider.

Here are the best options:

• The Schwabing jacket: the new version of this leather jacket adds a second zipper for the AirVent system, allowing air circulation
• The RoadCrafted jacket: a denim option for an authentic and versatile style
• The Bavella jacket: an all-season jacket adapted to temperature variations with breathable mesh, ideal for dynamic riding
• The Dahlem jacket: a discreet high-quality leather option
• The Mitte jacket: a shirt-style look, elbow and shoulder protectors, available in two new colors
• The new Naples jacket: looks like a simple sweatshirt, but is actually a comfortable and secure jacket, with the option to add a back protector
• The new Bilbao jacket: a very versatile jacket, perfect for daily use

With these jackets, you stay protected on your motorcycle while maintaining ideal comfort for your daily routine. These jackets are generally equipped with numerous pockets to make carrying your small items easier.

Lightweight BMW Jackets for Touring

Touring may require more comfortable jackets, suited for long journeys while offering enhanced protection. There are three perfect options for touring:

• The Aravis AIR jacket: highly ventilated and lightweight, the perfect choice for outings in moderate to hot weather.
• The Moreno GTX jacket: all-season, ventilated, and comfortable for long durations.
• The GS Puna GTX jacket: designed for enduro riding and perfectly suited for touring with effective ventilation and protection.

BMW Motorrad Jackets for Sport Riding

Finally, for riders seeking more thrills, there are two perfect options: the Downforce leather jacket and the Pace Pro jacket. Both BMW Motorrad options feature shoulder shells and protections adapted for high speeds.

Remember that regardless of your skill level and experience, it is crucial to equip yourself properly when riding, even as the weather warms up. The bare minimum for proper gear includes a helmet, a jacket, and a pair of gloves. Ideally, you should also add a pair of boots and riding pants for optimal protection. These and other BMW Motorrad gear options are available on our website, along with other options for the temperate season.

Whether you choose a BMW Motorrad GS Rallye jacket, a city jacket, a touring jacket, or a sport riding jacket, you are making a quality choice that will offer you the best adventures and riding sensations on your bike.
