6 Best Motorcycle Jackets Under $300

If you’re in need of a new motorcycle jacket check out these.

Every couple of years you’ll need to upgrade your gear. When you do, you’d better focus on a helmet first, and then a jacket next. Some guys will say to get yourself some good boots, but I’ve found that you can just wear some sturdy work boots or some old motorcycle boots until you really decide it’s time to upgrade. The jacket, though, is an absolute must. And you can get one for under $300.

While you’ll still need to get boots, gloves, pants, and any other specific gear you want or need, the jacket is a big part of the puzzle. Here are six of the best out there, and while the prices will vary all of them can be found for under $300.
