Custom Made In South Korea

So here at motorbikejacket.org.uk we are always on the lookout for a bargain, (quick plug- check out one day car insurance for great car insurance bargains!) and happening to be based in South Korea for the next few months we were always open to the possibility of a cheap custom made deal. Now although never actively pursuing the idea, an innocent trip to Mister Kim’s in Song-Tan mixed with some Korean hospitality and super low prices ensured that we would return to pick up our custom made jacket in 3 weeks time! Well, after some delays it’s finally here and so we though we’d share the results for all to see.

Specifications

• Treated  Leather to delay aging 
  

• Soft flexible leather for versatility

• Removable CE (So it says!) armor

• Reflective Wolf Logo

• Custom made to measure

• Vibrant racing colors adds flair to catch the eye

• Padded back acts as wind-stopper + extra comfort

Final Thoughts  . . .

. Although we’ve spotted a couple of imperfections, namely in the A on the zip, (check it out you’ll see what we mean) it appears to be solidly constructed and more than worth what we paid for it, as there’s no way you’d ever get the same prices in Britain. Bought more as a fashion accessory than as a functional motorbike jacket, however, we’re fairly sure of the quality so may well wear it out on the road.

Any thoughts then leave us a comment and let us know!

What are The Advantages of Synthetic Motorbike Jackets

Now although leather jackets have many advantages over the more modern synthetic types of jacket, primarily in the fact that they provide more protection, there are a number of positive attributes to be considered. Firstly, and probably the point that stands out most is the extra comfort that is experienced when wearing a synthetic motorbike jacket.

These jackets are adaptable through the seasons, with these materials being breathable whilst remaining waterproof. They can prevent a rider from overheating in the hotter summer months and also provide a good level of warmth throughout the winter. When compared to leather jackets and textile motorbike jacket is far easier and less time consuming to clean.

Textile motorbike jackets also tend to have reflective strips at well located points which improves visibility to other drivers and helps to decrease the chance of an accident. Extra armour can be added to textile jackets which can help with protection at strategic points which would take the impact of an accident. There is also the added bonus that textile jackets often implement the use of adjustable sides and necks to help tailor the fit uniquely to every individual.

At the end of the day it comes down to personal preference whether you choose a leather or textile jacket.

Which Motorbike Jacket ?

When choosing a motorbike jacket there are various factors that need to be considered. Firstly, many people consider the style of a jacket when really the main priority (provided you are going to use it whilst riding) is that it will give you that extra protection you need in the case that you should be unfortunate enough to be involved in an accident.

Clearly any jacket constructed with fashion as its number 1 priority is going to fail in terms of safety. Although you  may think this will not happen to you, there is always the possibility as various stats will tell you, so making sure you have done everything in your power to optimize safety levels is of up-most importance. Most recently airbag jackets have been made available on the uk market which mirror the effect of car air bags, inflating in the case of an accident. An Airbag Jacket has the potential to save lives and do a great job of protecting the vital organs. Increasingly more common in todays riders this is definitely an option to consider.

Leather or Synthetic

Now, generally you are left with two basic choices, either that of a leather jacket or other synthetic jackets, which can incorporate a range of fabrics. Plainly and simply in the authors experience it is recommended to opt for a leather jacket over any other material.

The reasoning behind this, supported by many sources should you have the time to look, ( this isn’t an academic article so i wont list sources) is that has been proven to consistently outperform any other forms of fabric and is less likely to enable serious injury.  Some of the thicker synthetic fabrics can have a great deal of protection but when weighed up against the cost and long term durability it is generally better to go for leather. The choice of those in theknow how is always that of cow hide leather, making sure to avoid any cheaper imitations.

However, despite this advice there are advantages to synthetic jackets which are discussed here some advantages of leather jackets. But at the end of the day it comes down to your individual preferences and what you consider to be your main priorities.

Whats So good About Leather ?

There are some great advantages to leather motorbike jackets, not least in the added safety a high quality cow hide jacket can allow.

• First of all, the classic and ageless style of a leather jacket is something other materials just can’t touch, whether you want a bike jacket for fashion or for protection, almost every style will give that certain aura that radiates from leather.

• The smell of a leather jacket is also something that the author has found to have an intoxicating draw to it (is this just me ?!), something that screams adventure and freedom.

• Buying a leather jacket is a great investment and can last a number of years without looking in any way dated, just adding to the appeal of the garment.

• Get it as dirty as you want, it’s still going to look clean(ish)

• Although, they may be heavy and can be warm during the summer months it is possible to find ventilated jackets with zip out linings which can will take some of the heat away.

All in all a leather jacket can be the ideal choice although you may want to first weigh up the advantages of synthetic jackets.
