X-Men Jacket Motorcycle: Bold Style Meets Riding Protection

The X-Men Motorbike Leather Riding Jacket with Silver Piping from Leather Collection is a black cowhide riding jacket with silver piping, styled after the look of the X-Men. It is an inspired-by design, and this guide covers what the product listing states about its leather, armor and fit.

An X-Men Inspired Riding Jacket

The design takes its cue from the X-Men look: black cowhide with silver piping accents. The graphics-driven styling is a design choice; protection comes from the leather, the seams and the armor described below.

The jacket suits riders who like comic-inspired gear and want it in a real riding jacket cut, rather than a lifestyle jacket.

Leather and Construction

According to the product listing, the jacket uses 1.2-1.3 mm drum-dyed cowhide leather with safety-stitched seams. It is hand-stitched and made to order, as Leather Collection has done since 2009.

What the leather offers:

• Abrasion resistance: leather is a traditional material for riding gear, and abrasion resistance is one of the properties tested under EN 17092
• Fit that develops: leather softens and settles to the body with wear
• A defined look: black cowhide with silver piping

Armor and Protection

The listing describes removable armor at the shoulders and elbows as CE Level 2 to EN 1621-1:2012, plus a detachable spine protector described as compatible with EN 1621-2. The listing names no test certificate, so ask the seller for the armor test certificate or label. EN 1621-1 covers limb joint protectors, and EN 1621-2 covers back and lumbar protectors, as the SATRA EN 1621 page describes. The armor pockets take removable inserts, so the jacket can also be worn without them for casual use.

The listing does not describe an EN 17092 garment class. Riders who need a specific class should confirm it with the seller before ordering.

Comfort and Fit

Riding comfort depends on how the jacket moves with the rider. The listing mentions these features:

• Pre-curved sleeves to suit a riding posture
• YKK zippers: a main YKK zipper plus YKK coil zippers at the cuffs for ventilation control
• Three lining options: no lining for maximum ventilation, standard 100% polyester mesh or a custom sublimated design
• A left-side internal mesh chest pocket

Made-to-measure sizing is available, which helps keep armor positioned over the shoulders and elbows.

Style Beyond the Ride

With the armor removed, the jacket works as casual wear:

• Over a t-shirt for casual outings
• With jeans and boots for an evening out
• With the armor fitted for commuting; for track days, check the organizer’s clothing rules and confirm an EN 17092 class with the seller
