Motorcycle gear and equipment evolves in the same manner as the weather does, as riders try to make the most out of the riding season. Needless to say, we’re now at the tailend of summer for the majority of the northern hemisphere, and we can expect temps to gradually drop as August turns into September. As such, now may be the right time to start shopping for warmer riding gear, in case your fall apparel is in need of a refresh.
Though not as heavy and insulated as winter apparel, fall riding gear usually does away with mesh fabric, and instead uses other textile fabrics that don’t let as much air in. A good example of this is the new Dale jacket from Dutch gear and equipment specialist REV’IT!. Constructed out of 14-oz Cordura stretch twill fabric, the Dale jacket gives off a very casual aesthetic, bordering on retro-themed styling. The retro flair is accentuated by the addition of padding on the shoulders, though the jacket does incorporate a complete suite of internal protectors.
