- 2014 Motorcycle Leather Jacket Buying Guide www.revzilla.co... Our 2014 Leather Motorcycle Jacket buying guide is split into 2 categories, technical, sport cut jackets will make up the first category while the second category will be comprised of more casual leather, aimed at the Cafe and V-Twin contingent.
Starting off category one will be Speed & Strength's Top Dead Center Jacket. A fully perforated, relaxed cut, leather jacket aimed at the stunt crown and coming in at an entry level price. The Dainese Laguna EVO and the Alpinestars Jaws Perforated jackets will be your next stop in the 2014 lineup. While both feature a more relaxed sport cut, the Laguna EVO will come with a removable, full sleeved thermal liner and the Jaws will feature a thermal vest allowing you to stretch these options into the cooler months. The Alpinestars Celer is your gateway drug to a full on track day with an aggressive race cut, sliders on the shoulders and elbow as well as a sport hump. Rounding out the top of the food chain for the technical category will be the Alpinestars Black Shadow Phantom and Dainese's Super Speed C2. Both of these jackets are essentially the top half of a race suit with an aggressive cut and speed humps.
Starting off the Second Category of casual leather options is the River Road Hoodlum jacket. This entry level jacket comes with no protective armor but does have plenty of venting as well as a removable full-sleeved thermal liner making it a great all-season option. The Rev'It! Roamer is going to have a full-sleeved thermal liner along with armor at both the shoulders and elbow for whatever the road throws your way. Roland Sands has two jackets which made it into our buying guide for 2014. The all new City jacket is a classicly styled, American cut jacket featuring premium rifle leather. The Roland Sand Ronin is the reigning champion from last year and refuses to be dethroned in '14. With it's sport/cafe fit and premium airborne leather it will go great with almost any bike in your garage. Armor for both Roland Sands jackets is sold in a separate kit.
No matter what your style, we will have a jacket to perfectly match your ride.
Steve Pierson It's a two season jacket for the Allentown area (late-spring to early-fall). It should take you into the low 60s comfortably. -Hi-Viz Brian
The dude in the jacket looks like he can't breathe.
National Beauty, I don't think so. Occasionally, I'll used my North Face backpack with my race suit. It works just fine if you properly adjust your backpack's straps. -Hi-Viz Brian
Looking for some advise please. Bought a jacket much like the Alpine stars black shadow. Fit is fine. Right at the belt line and everything. Crouched on the bike its fine in the front. Doesn't crunch up and the like. But at the back I feel it sits too high. The lower part of my back is open. About 3 inches. This is while riding with normal jeans. Is this normal or not?
First jacket so I'm not sure.
are motorcycle jackets not supposed to go to your waist,Idk why these look short.. I'm 6 foot 5 and don't want it going to my belly button
+Marcus Burrell Most motorcycle jackets sit right above the belt and are a bit longer in the back, so that the jacket doesn't bunch in the front when seated on the bike but the drop tail still covers your back. If you have a long inseam (35 or 36 inches), your torso is likely pretty standard height. Regardless, I'd recommend looking at "tall size" jackets. -DrewZilla

+RevZilla okay cool one more thing. Would I look like a dbag wearing the, Alpinestar black phantom jacket, as a normal everyday riding jacket.
+Marcus Burrell No, not at all...as long as you're also wearing proper riding pants or riding jeans, gloves, helmet, and boots. The Black Shadow Phantom is a great jacket. -DrewZilla
Revzilla is the bees knees!!!
Michael Cruz Hey thanks! We think you're the cat's meow! -DrewZilla
hey guys. Great video! as always.
BTW, did you ever reviewed Held Hot Road leather jacket? I am thinking about getting one but it is tough to find a review, or see the opinions. :(
Another great video! Although, I didn't see the new Alpinestars gp plus r jacket. Where would you rank that jacket on this list? I've been stuck and can't decide between the jaws and gp plus.
What are you looking for in a jacket? What features do you like about each jacket? -Hi-Viz Brian
So if I'm really stubborn, can I ride with a sport leather jacket in heavy rain? Because I'm one of those riders who ride all the year and a 4 season jacket doesn't look as good.
An answer will be appreciated. - Nir
Sure, yes, but it will get really heavy as it gets soaked. Once soaked, it will also feel really cold, which isn't good for your body temperature. Extended exposure to water can also damage leather. If you like leather, then I recommend you get a rain jacket to wear over the leather jacket when it rains. -DrewZilla
@@RevZilla thanks for responding
Great jackets and detail mentions
How is the Roland Sands Ronin as a 3 season (spring, summer, fall) jacket? I'm in the Allentown area and typically ride into the fall. I'm mostly concerned with those chilly 40F fall mornings, is this jacket insulated enough on it's own or will I need and under layer for further insulation?
HEYthsanthnrvzlatv! Every damn time haha. Good videos though!
I cant decide which is the best every day sport jacket for 3 seasons. Ive got a hardcore 1pc race suit for racing and a textile jacket for 5°C and below. My candidates are jaws, avro and maybe the celer (best looking, most technical but i'd have to put the hump out quite often). What do you think?
I'd go with the Avro for two reasons.
1. The Avro doesn't have exposed seems on the shoulders and has aluminum shoulder protectors. I've tested the shoulder protectors on my Super Speed jacket and I am glad they were there. Feel free to email me at cs@revzilla.com for crash pictures.
2. Full sleeve thermal liner.

Anthony, Hi-Viz, hello guys. I'm a new subscriber, first time viewing the site and video(both a+ by the way). I was curious if either of you have any suggestions about perf jackets for a bigger individual. I'm 6'2 240, and I ride a R-1. I see that most of the gentlemen modeling the items are all medium built individuals. Just curious if you had any suggestions. I would much prefer to purchase my entire 2014 gear from one site vs jumping around. Thanks in advance.
What's up gazpgun! I'm glad you like our videos and thanks for subscribing. What's your chest measurement? I'm sure we have some options for you. -Hi-Viz Brian
Great guide! Keep it up!
Will do! Thanks Jeff. -Hi-Viz Brian
hello can i asked about my leader jacket
Is it weird to buy a jacket with speed hump while riding a 125cc?
Is the speed hump confortable while using a bagpack??
National Beauty I know this was a while ago, but don't listen to people that tell you it's dumb to wear gear on smaller bikes. If you want it you buy it!
I see the guys in size 52 for the jackets but in some of the older videos they are size 50 in the one piece suits. Is it because you want a tighter fit for the one piece over a jacket?
That's a good question. Is it me or Raf you're referring to? -Hi-Viz Brian
RevZilla
It may not have been you or Raf. I have gone back to some of the other videos and can not find what I remember haha. You guys have too many videos. But I do remember it was with the Dainese suits. Although they may not have been as large in the chest area. Which is why they would be a size down.
Gotcha. Yeah, sometimes suits are off by a size compared to jacket / pant sizing. If you come across the example, I'd love to check it out. -Hi-Viz Brian
Recommended shopping. Wanna buy RevZilla items, but I'm in Indonesia.
Bimo A. We do ship to Indonesia, but with a few caveats. Check out the International Order Page: www.revzilla.com/international-orders -Kraus-e
Thx for the answer ill try the avro!
For sure! Let us know if we can help with anything else! -Hi-Viz Brian
Hey guys, quick question about the S&S Top Dead Center jacket. Would it be a good choice for daily commuting on a 250cc, or is it better suited for the crotch rocket crowd? I'm looking for a balanced armored jacket of a 3 season type that won't break the bank. Suggestions? Thanks and great video as usual!
The Top Dead Center will work well for your riding position. Are you looking for three season warm or cold jackets? What has caught your eye so far? -Hi-Viz Brian
RevZilla Thanks for the reply! I'm currently eyeballing the icon Contra, Spaztic and the S&S Top Dead center. Really unsure. I'm looking for something that will be comfy during summer/fall. I'd love to have a jacket that has zip off sleeves, it gets quite warm here during the summer.
You're very welcome! -Hi-Viz Brian
gotta love the elpow armour
Is there a multi season jacket that has front CHEST ARMOR as well as back, elbows, and shoulder?
How multi-season (2, 3, or 4 seasons)? Also, what weather and temperatures will you be riding in? -Hi-Viz Brian
RevZilla Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking 4 season but I'd like to know what's out there, can't find anything with a search. Best I can come up with is something like a Fox Titan armor and a Fly Patrol shell jacket over it. I would be riding in all temperatures and it's adventure off-roading I do.
Unable to decide on a jacket to go with my V-Rod, especially with its 'C' like posture. Don't want the jacket to bulge in my chest/stomach area. Would like to have protection/armor. Any suggestions?
I am also a small build and would like a nice snug fit and many seem large!!
What are your measurements? -Hi-Viz Brian

Need some advise,
Whats the best way to clean to a leather motorcycle jacket?
Hieu Nguyen
* www.revzilla.com/product/dainese-leather-protection-cleaning-kit
* www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/dainese-vintage-leather-cleaning-kit
does it matter that I don't have a dainese brand jacket? I have a scorpion winter jacket
Hieu Nguyen It does not matter. There are other cleaner and conditioner options out there as well. -Hi-Viz Brian
RevZilla Does the hump on a leather jacket add more protection (mainly for street) or does it have other purposes ?
Rabih Younes It adds a bit of protection in the sense that if you land on your back, the speed hump hits before your helmet, which is better. In a full tuck riding position, the speed hump does help to smooth air coming off your helmet and down your back. -DrewZilla
when he says size 52 does that mean 52 inch ??????
No, it's a Euro size 52, which is about 41-42 inches. Euro sizing is generally chest width in cm (half the circumference). -DrewZilla
Me like it
really wish I could buy high end gear.
I've found a lot of great deals in forums. -Hi-Viz Brian
thanx Brian ill check them out as soon as I can. even though I honestly think you guys offer out of this world great deals. im just a broke dude haha but one day for sure
And note that i live in germany. Autobahn = no speed limits :D
Jealousy has come over me :-) -Hi-Viz Brian
Bro science life ?
Bro science life. -Hi-Viz Brian
man does any1 else look at anothonys giant biceps? jesusss
Gangsta.
Should have had them try to model them in a funny/mocking sort of way. When they just stand there, they look weird.
We like to keep it professional and try not to distract our viewers from the gear being reviewed ..... but, once a month we try to have a little fun. -Hi-Viz Brian
