Winter Motorcycle Jackets For Your Rescue

Winter in Australia is arguably one of the most pleasant of winters you’ll experience in the world. With temperatures rarely dropping into minus numbers, you’re bound to have a good time!

In Australia, winter begins at the start of June and finishes at the end of August.

"Winter is a season of recovery and preparation."

- Paul Theroux

Recovering is something you'll get by preparations. Properly preparing your motorcycle for winter storage can save time, headaches, and money when nice weather rolls around. Since each motorcycle has different designs and specifications, It's important to make up your mind and work in the right direction towards preparation.

Riding comfortably in cold weather begins with correct gear choice, and it’s all about layering. Base Layers (full leg, full sleeve), such as those offered by UnderArmour and many motorcycle apparel companies, are a must. Even while riding we sweat, and the base layers allow our skin to breath, wicking away moisture. This helps sweat evaporate rather than turning to cold perspiration on the body. I also don socks that wick away moisture.

For most conditions in the 20s or teens, I simply wear a zip-up fleece with a neck collar over my base layers, which helps create an insulating barrier. If things get cooler, I always have another mid-layer, such as a snug wool button up, but it’s rarely used.

The Sherpa Motorcycle Jackets

Sherpa jackets are a winter staple, particularly in the northern United States and in Canada.

You won't find them in the photo spreads of glossy fashion magazines very often, but in places where getting work done and staying warm is a daily necessity, sherpa jackets are actually among the more attractive options.

If you live somewhere where “winter” means a few inches of snow and a couple chilly days, you'll still find a use for this classic jacket.

What really are Sherpa Jackets?

As neat as it would be to pitch these as authentic clothing from native Himalayan cultures, the modern Sherpa jacket gets its name from an industry term.

Sherpa lining," In the garment industry, refers to a polyester lining with a deep pile and large, fuzzy “naps” that give it a bumpy texture."

The overall effect is similar to real sheep's wool, but Sherpa lining is lighter weight, much less bulky, and faster drying. It's also considerably cheaper and avoids any ethical concerns about animal products.
