Waterdichte motorjassen

This collection covers motorcycle jackets built for wet-weather riding, commuting, touring, and mixed road use. Most styles use textile or softshell-based constructions with integrated waterproof membranes, weather-focused closures, and rider-specific ergonomics.

Depending on the model, you may find sport, urban, and touring-oriented designs with features such as removable thermal liners, ventilation zips, armor pockets, and compatibility with additional protection systems. For broader category browsing, see our motorcycle jackets and textile jackets collections.

In this collection, waterproof jackets are designed to provide rain protection through a dedicated waterproof membrane and weather-managed construction. Many motorcycle jackets in this category also use seam-sealed or seam-taped construction to help reduce water ingress in sustained wet conditions.

That said, waterproof performance can vary by jacket design, closure system, and riding conditions. A true waterproof riding jacket is different from a lightweight over-jacket in a rain gear collection: it is built as protective motorcycle apparel first, with integrated wet-weather functionality. If you want a packable outer shell for emergency rain use, explore road rain gear.

Many waterproof motorcycle jackets are designed for broad seasonal use rather than a single temperature range. Across this type of collection, riders commonly see removable thermal liners, direct ventilation openings, and shell constructions intended to balance wind protection, rain performance, and everyday riding comfort.

For cold and wet conditions, a waterproof jacket generally offers better weather protection than a mesh jacket. In hot weather, however, even vented waterproof jackets usually run warmer than dedicated summer gear. If maximum airflow is your priority, browse our road jackets collection for warm-weather alternatives.

Many motorcycle jackets in this category are built as protective garments and may be certified under the EN 17092 standard, with the exact class varying by model. Impact protection is rated separately from the jacket shell, so shoulder and elbow protectors typically reference EN 1621-1, while chest and back protection may be included, optional, or compatible depending on the jacket.

At collection level, the safest approach is to check both garment certification and armor specification on the individual product page. Some waterproof jackets also support additional protection upgrades, including chest inserts, back protectors, or Tech-Air® compatibility where stated.

A waterproof motorcycle jacket should fit close enough to keep armor stable in the riding position while still leaving room for base layers or a thermal layer if the design supports cold-weather use. The shoulders, elbows, and sleeve length matter most, since a fit that is too loose can allow protectors to move, while a fit that is too tight can reduce comfort and mobility. Use the Alpinestars size chart and compare your chest, waist, and sleeve measurements before choosing a size.

For care, always follow the garment label first. As a general rule, remove any detachable liners and armor where possible, close zippers and fasteners, wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent, and air-dry away from direct heat. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat, as they can affect technical fabrics, membrane performance, and protective components.
