Harley Davidson Hazard Waterproof Jacket – Men’s Textile, Colorblocked

The Harley Davidson Hazard Waterproof Jacket in Colorblocked is made for wet mornings and changeable weather. It pairs pockets ready for CE-rated armor with reflective detailing for low-light visibility, so it works as hard on the road as it does off the bike. The main material is mesh, twill and polyester, chosen for durability and a clean finish. It adds ventilation to keep air moving for good measure.

Most Textile Jackets list their fabric weight and move on. This one is built from 600 denier polyester twill, and that number matters more than it sounds.

Denier measures thread thickness. Specifically, it’s the weight in grams of 9,000 meters of a single fiber. A 600D fabric means that length of thread weighs 600 grams, placing it in the medium-to-heavy durability range used across backpacks, luggage, and heavy-duty gear.

That density is why this Harley Davidson Hazard Waterproof Jacket holds up to real riding abuse. Higher denier fabric is generally more abrasion-resistant and tear-resistant than lighter alternatives, which is exactly the trade-off a waterproof riding jacket needs to make. Denier is separate from fabric weight (GSM), and it’s worth noting that material type matters as much as the denier number itself when comparing two fabrics.

The Colorblocked version is available now through Flick Leathers.

Waterproof and Seam Sealed Are Two Different Things

A fabric can be waterproof on its surface and still leak. The weak point is almost always the seams.

Every stitch punches a tiny hole through the fabric. Manufacturers solve that with seam sealing tape, melted onto the seam with heat and pressure to physically cover those needle holes.

This Harley Davidson Hazard Waterproof Jacket combines both layers of protection: waterproof 600D polyester twill plus fully sealed seams. It also adds an interior zipper storm flap and rain gutter, extra barriers at the two areas, the zipper and seam lines, where water tends to find a way in. Some manufacturers distinguish between fully taped seams, sealed everywhere, and critically taped seams, sealed only at the most exposed points, and fully sealed construction generally holds up better in sustained, heavy rain.

Armor That Adjusts to the Impact

Underneath the shell, this Harley Davidson Hazard Waterproof Jacket includes CE approved body armor at the shoulders and elbows. A back armor pocket is also built in, sized for the D3O Viper back protector, sold separately.

D3O is a non-Newtonian material. It stays soft and flexible during normal riding, then hardens instantly on impact to spread force across a wider area instead of concentrating it on one point.

The Harley Davidson Hazard Waterproof Jacket carries EN 17092-4:2020 certification, placing it in the entry Class A tier of the EN 17092 motorcycle clothing standard. That rating covers the shell’s abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and seam strength, separately from the armor’s own certification. A 3M Scotchlite reflective patch adds a further layer of visibility, working by bouncing light directly back toward its source rather than scattering it the way ordinary fabric does.

Why Vents and Waterproofing Aren’t a Contradiction

It seems counterintuitive to add vents to a waterproof jacket. But front and back body vents are placed strategically, not just cut into the shell at random.

Vents typically sit under the arms or along the back panel, areas that stay covered even when open, so airflow gets in without letting rain straight through. That’s a standard approach across technical outerwear, letting the Hazard Waterproof Jacket stay breathable without compromising the waterproof membrane underneath. Waterproof membranes work by using microscopic pores smaller than a water droplet but large enough for sweat vapor to escape, which is the same principle that lets strategically placed vents add airflow without undoing the Harley Davidson Hazard Waterproof Jacket’s waterproofing.

For a rider, that means the jacket can handle a sudden downpour and still stay comfortable once the sun comes back out.

Sizing Guide

600D polyester twill has some structure but limited stretch, so fit matters here. Measure your chest circumference and compare it against detailed fit and sizing guidance rather than assuming your usual size.

If you are comparing options, the Odyssey waterproof jacket and the H-D men’s waterproof Cyrus gloves sit close to this one in fit and purpose.

Sizing and Care

It comes in 13 sizes (2XS to 5XL, plus 1W–3W). If you are between sizes or plan to wear thicker layers underneath, size up. Air-dry the shell and avoid fabric softener, which can reduce water repellency. For background, the Wikipedia article on Color-blocking is a useful read.
