The Harley-Davidson Women’s New Horizon Windproof Softshell Riding Jacket, style 98168-21VW, is a flexible softshell motorcycle jacket built with a women’s-specific fit and windproof construction, designed for comfort and protection on cool-weather rides.

The New Horizon Windproof Softshell Riding Jacket (98168-21VW) takes a different approach from traditional leather or heavy textile jackets. Softshell construction gives it flexibility and comfort closer to a technical outdoor jacket than a stiff riding shell, while windproof paneling cuts wind chill on the highway. Paired with a tailored women’s fit, this Harley Davidson Softshell Jacket suits riders who want mobility and comfort without giving up armor-ready protection.

Softshell riding gear has grown in popularity because it moves with the rider instead of against them. This Harley Davidson Softshell Jacket brings that comfort to the bike without treating protection as an afterthought.

Why Riders Choose This Windbreaker Jacket

• Windproof softshell construction for comfort and wind protection
• Flexible, mobile build that moves with the rider rather than restricting motion

Women’s-Specific Tailored Fit

A cut built specifically around a woman’s frame keeps the Harley Davidson Softshell Jacket comfortable over long rides rather than boxy or resized from a men’s pattern, a standard frequently covered in gear features from Women Riders Now, a leading publication focused on women motorcyclists and their gear needs.

Mobility and Comfort

Softshell jackets are often praised for how well they move with the body compared to stiffer riding shells, a quality outdoor gear testers at Switchback Travel frequently highlight when comparing softshell outerwear against traditional hardshell options.

Armor-Ready Protection

Shoulder and elbow pockets are built to accept armor inserts, a baseline feature outdoor and technical gear retailers like Backcountry commonly look for when evaluating softshell outerwear built for active use rather than casual wear.

Riding in Cooler, Windy Conditions

Windproof softshell jackets are a popular choice among touring riders who deal with variable wind conditions on long rides, an approach discussed in touring gear guides from Adventure Motorcycle Magazine, a publication covering long-distance and adventure riding gear.

Sizing & Fit Guide

This Softshell Jacket follows a tailored women’s cut designed to sit closer through the waist and shoulders than a unisex jacket, while still allowing room for armor inserts or a light base layer. Riders planning to layer up for colder rides are generally advised to check the size chart before sizing up.

This Harley Davidson Softshell Jacket suits women riders who want comfort and mobility on cool, windy rides without the stiffness of leather or the bulk of heavy textile gear.

Care Instructions
