Ballistic nylon versus leather for motorcycle riders

A common dilemma for any motorcycle rider when riding their bike is what type of gear to wear and purchase when riding. Sure you can wear your normal everyday full leather suit, but what is the most versatile gear for summer riding when it’s 85-95 degrees outside and you have to commute to and from work? Here’s a quick rundown of wearing a ballistic nylon jacket versus leather to help you decide what’s best for you:

Ballistic nylon jacket:

  • Comprised of a tougher-thicker weave, synthetic nylon jackets are used for a variety of applications such as wallets and flak jackets, tool belts, etc.
  • More resistant to tearing than most other material including Kevlar
  • Will stretch and spring back into place when sliding over asphalt before breaking
  • Tight ballistic nylon jackets may prove to be hotter than a well-perforated leather jacket

Leather jacket:

  • Lasted longer than ballistic nylon in several drag tests
  • Can get hot though when the weather is hot outside, although mesh jackets can take care of this problem
  • Purchasing a well-perforated leather jacket can cost upwards of up to $200.00

As with most purchases, the most important thing you can do is visit your local motorcycle retailer and try on the jackets for yourself to make sure that you’re getting the most comfortable, fashionable and economically priced jacket for your wallet.
