How to choose a women's road jacket
Material decides your protection and comfort. This collection spans four build types: textile, mesh, leather and kevlar. Leather wins on raw abrasion resistance, textile balances all-weather use, and mesh keeps you cool through Australian summers.
| Material | Best for | Typical abrasion rating |
|---|---|---|
| Leather | Sport and warmer riding | EN 17092 AAA |
| Textile | 4-season touring | EN 17092 AA |
| Mesh | Summer commuting | EN 17092 A |
| Kevlar | Casual urban riding | EN 17092 A to AA |
Understand the safety ratings
EN 17092 ranks abrasion in 3 road tiers. AAA is the highest, AA is the touring standard, and A suits lower-speed urban use. Match the tier to your speed. Always confirm armour before you buy. CE Level 1 armour absorbs up to 18 kN of impact force, while CE Level 2 caps transmitted force at 9 kN, roughly half, so Level 2 protects harder in a crash. Most jackets here ship with shoulder and elbow armour. Add a separate back protector if it is not fitted.
Merlin leads this range, followed by Shark Leathers, DIFI, Macna and Oxford. Buy mesh if you ride mostly in summer, textile if you ride year round, and leather if speed and abrasion matter most.

How do I know a jacket is protective enough for road riding?
Check the EN 17092 abrasion rating and the armour level. AAA is the highest road tier, AA suits touring, and A suits urban speeds. CE Level 2 armour transmits about 9 kN versus up to 18 kN for Level 1, so it protects harder in an impact.
