There will also be a Missile Ignition leather jacket (scroll through the images above to see pics), which will attach to the existing Missile V2 leather trousers. The Missile Ignition suit will launch at £899.99 in sizes 2XS-3XL, in black/blue/white, red fluo/white/black, black/white/fluo yellow and red/white/fluo yellow. To further protect the rider, many jackets include zippers and fasteners that attach the jackets to the pants providing even more safety in a crash.A large perforated panel on the front of the suit combined with smaller perforations dotted around the sleeves and legs allow cool air to flow, while pre-curved limbs and accordion stretch panels on the back, arms and knees keep the rider comfortable. This increases the likelihood of injury to the rider. A loose jacket can get caught on the road surface or on objects on the road, causing the rider to roll awkwardly rather than glide on the road surface. A jacket moving out of position or having a loose fit can affect the ability of the rider to slide during a crash. A poorly fitting jacket can result in additional, unnecessary injuries if it rides up or moves out of position during a crash. No matter which riding jacket you choose, it is important that it fits correctly.
Now that you have a general idea of the options available in riding gear, let’s look at correct fitting. Most of the rides in India turn out to be in hot weather so this is a crucial element while considering which riding jacket to purchase. So unless you are wearing a mesh jacket, you need to make sure that the riding jacket has ample ventilation. Proper venting in riding jacket can help prevent excess sweating and even heat exhaustion during warm weather riding. It also means you have bought a wrong size. If you can move them, then there is a good chance they will not be where you need them if you crash. Impact protectors (Armour) only work if they remain in place in a crash. Check to see if you can push them around when your jacket is fully fastened. But that option proves expensive (unless you already have a Level 1 riding jacket.) One more option is to buy Level 2 armour separately and use them in your level 1 armoured riding jacket. However, in recent days, companies have stated providing CE Level 1 and in case Level 2 back protectors as standard. Few years back, foam pad was the norm for back protectors. One more thing to check while selecting a riding jacket is the back protector. Now a days, many entry level riding jackets are also equipped with Level 2 armour. As you can guess, CE level 2 armour is better for protection than level 1. This armour helps to protect the body from impact by providing cushioning on the areas that are most likely to sustain impact during a crash. Most motorcycle riding jackets have armour on the elbow and shoulder areas. In case you are buying such a riding jacket, remember that you would need to make additional provision like rain coat jacket or thermals in rains / winters. Now a days many manufacturers are offering riding jackets without any liners to reduce the selling price of jackets. Winter liner - These are also called as thermal liners and are useful for riding in cold weather. Water resistant does not necessarily mean waterproof. Remember to read product description carefully. Rain liners are as the name denotes, for use during rains. Liners are usually removable components and a rider can choose to wear them or not depending on weather condition.
