Motocross and enduro jackets: Additional protection on the tracks

Apart from jerseys and body armor, MX jackets give you additional protection, especially when you love to go enduro. Here you can find out why it is definitely worth owning an enduro jacket.

What to look for in motocross and enduro jackets

Enduro jackets offer you not only additional protection from wind and weather, but also protection from rocks or branches that get in your way during your Enduro tour through the forest. Before buying, you should also check whether the jacket is compatible with your neck protection so that you don't have to compromise on protection. To ensure that you find the perfect off-road jacket for you, you should define the desired area of use in advance, i.e. whether you prefer to go on Enduro tours or go full throttle on the MX track.Another tip: Before you buy, check whether the jacket folds well and can be stored in your rucksack. If it does get a little warmer on the way, you can easily pack the jacket in your backpack.

Protectors and protective inserts

As with most protectors there are different levels of protection for Enduro jackets. Depending on whether you are a beginner, occasional rider or advanced pro, you should choose your jacket. For beginners there are lighter jackets with reinforced material, such as leather, on the elbows, back or shoulders. For riders who ride often and intensively, there are jackets with protector inserts in the most important places.

Features and accessories

There should also be no lack of comfort in motocross jackets. So that you are prepared for all weather conditions, many jackets can be converted into vests with detachable sleeves. Off-road jackets should also have enough pockets so that you have room for your mobile phone, change and driving licence on your tour. Especially for jackets in the high-priced segment you can buy replacement protectors, which are mostly made of PU foam. Should one of your protectors break in case of a fall or due to wear and tear, you can save yourself the cost of buying a completely new jacket by using replacement inserts.

Protection from wind and rain

Depending on the price range, MX jackets also offer different protection against wind and weather. Jackets in the lower price segment are often made of thin material and therefore only water-repellent. High-end jackets usually have integrated membranes, which make the jackets waterproof, windproof and yet breathable.

Comfortable fit

As you often spend several hours on the bike, especially on enduro tours, you should pay particular attention to the correct fit of the jacket. You should have enough freedom of movement during the ride. If the jacket fits too loosely, it is no longer possible to provide specific protection for individual parts of the body. If you are wearing a breastplate or protector jacket under your jacket, you should also wear it when you try it on so that it does not fit too tightly or too loosely afterwards.

Ventilation

Especially in summer and on hot days you should not have to do without your jacket. Enduro jackets that offer light protection are often already made of thinner polyester material in which you don't sweat as much. More robust jackets often have breathable membranes or you can quickly convert them into vests. You can recognise particularly good jackets by the fact that you don't sweat on warm days and you don't cool down on cold days.
