Traditional Motorcycle Jackets vs Brummell Blazer

Motorcycle gear is essential for rider safety and has traditionally focused on function over form. While motorcycle jackets have been the standard for years, innovative solutions like the Brummell Blazer are changing the game. The Brummell Blazer and other motorcycle jackets both aim to protect riders, but they do so in very different ways. Let's compare them side by side, focusing on protection, look and comfort.

 

Protection

Entirely made of DuPont™ Kevlar®, offering protection across every single inch of the blazer, not just protection on areas that are necessary to pass the regulation (EN17092).

 

Often made of leather or a blend of textiles and protective fibers, with protection typically focused on areas that are absolutely necessary to pass the regulation (EN17092).

 

Every blazer comes with CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow protection included, from SAS-TEC a renowned German brand, and also includes a SAS TEC TripleFlex back protector.

 

A lot of the motorcycle jackets include CE Level 1 protection, with some offering optional additional armor for better protection – CE Level 2, and back protection.

Looks like an elegant blazer, providing comfort and style for all-day wear. It transitions seamlessly from riding to work, and socializing.

 

Designed primarily for riding, which can make them bulky and less comfortable for extended off-bike wear.

 

Includes ventilation under the armpits to keep the rider cool when riding.

 

Ventilation features vary; some jackets provide good airflow while others may be less effective in warm weather.

 

Features shoulder gussets for enhanced mobility and a fit that doesn't restrict movement.

 

Some motorcycle jackets offer comfort and use soft and premium materials; other use more robust materials and are heavier and thus less comfortable to wear.

No difference from an elegant, stylish blazer, allowing riders to look their best without anyone knowing they’re wearing full body armor underneath. Perfect for people who commute to work, dinner, events etc, and want to look good and dressed up.

 

Traditional motorcycle jackets are designed with a classic biker look. There’re two types of jackets: those which are made with leather, and jackets made of textile fabrics. Both types of jackets are functional but may not suit all occasions. 

 

Suitable for all-day wear, from riding to meetings, dinners, or events, without needing to change clothes.

 

Primarily designed for riding, requiring riders to change into regular clothes for post-ride activities.

 

Offers the ability to purchase different skins to change the blazer’s appearance, providing multiple styling options for every day of the week.

 

Limited options for altering the appearance; some jackets come with removable patches or warm liners, but these don’t transform the outer look like the Skins can for the Brummell Blazer.

  

Style


Brummell Blazer is very stylish and elegant 

 

In conclusion, traditional motorcycle jackets remain a solid choice for those who prioritize function and have been a staple in the motorcycle community for years. While they provide safety and different levels of comfort, they often require compromises in terms of style and appearance.

On the other hand, the Brummell Blazer redefines motorcycle gear by combining full protection with unparalleled style and comfort.For riders who want to stay protected and stylish on and off the bike—whether commuting to work, heading to meetings, dinners, dates, or attending events — the Brummell Blazer is the ideal choice.
