Tour Master Women's Motive Textile Jacket

The Motive jacket is a full featured motorcycle jacket with a softer feel and a feminine cut. The material used is a bit softer to the touch than the nylon types used with most motorcycle jackets. And the colors and patterns are muted, so the jacket doesn’t look as “sport bike” as many other styles. I think this style will appeal to touring riders and urban commuters… perhaps scooter riders. The longer length will give great protection to the rider against the elements. The jacket is made waterproof by a breathable “mid-liner”. This mid-liner is sewn into the jacket in between the jacket’s outer shell and its inner nylon lining. It should be very effective. The jacket has some zippered vents on the chest, biceps and back which should move some decent air through the shell in warmer weather. And for colder weather, a very nice full sleeve removable liner is included. Overall, I think this jacket will work well for those riding in warm to cold temperature ratings. The mid-liner arrangement will prevent free flow of air through the body to your skin, so this one will get a bit warm on hot days. The jacket comes with very nice CE rated armor in the shoulders and elbows. It’s a combination of foam padding and hard shell which is very effective and low profile. You also get a nice foam back protector. The jacket comes with a short rear zipper for attachment to Tour Master pants.
