Built for riders who want warmth without giving up mobility, the Deflector Riding Fleece is suitable for cool-weather motorcycle rides, commuting, touring, weekend cruising, and casual everyday wear.

Premium Fleece Construction

This Harley-Davidson riding fleece uses a 66% polyester and 34% cotton polar fleece shell with a 100% polyester mesh lining. The combination provides a comfortable feel while giving the Harley Davidson Jacket 120th Anniversary the durability required for motorcycle use. Harley-Davidson specifically describes the garment as abrasion resistant and designed with motorcycle riders in mind.

The fleece construction makes it an excellent alternative to heavier jackets when temperatures are cool but not extremely cold. Riders comparing options often pick the Harley Davidson Jacket 120th Anniversary for its fit and finish.

The Black/Quiet Shade colorway also makes this Harley Davidson Jacket 120th Anniversary easy to coordinate with motorcycle jeans, riding boots, gloves, and other Harley-Davidson apparel.

Windproof and Vented Design

Cold wind can quickly reduce comfort during motorcycle riding, which is why this Harley-Davidson Fleece Jacket features windproof materials and construction. The Harley Davidson Jacket 120th Anniversary is designed to help block cold airflow while maintaining useful ventilation when temperatures increase.

Two-way underarm and torso vents allow riders to control airflow during changing weather conditions. This makes the Harley Davidson Jacket 120th Anniversary more versatile than a standard casual fleece.

Riding-Focused Fit and Mobility

The Deflector Riding Fleece is designed around motorcycle movement rather than simply being a casual sweatshirt. Pre-curved sleeves help create a natural riding position, while the adjustable hood provides additional coverage and everyday versatility.

The two-way front zipper allows riders to adjust the Jacket 120th Anniversary according to temperature and riding position. This is particularly useful when transitioning between city riding, highway travel, and casual activities.

For another example of motorcycle apparel combining everyday styling with technical riding features, SPIDI motorcycle jackets provide a broad range of protective riding options.

Armor-Ready Motorcycle Protection

One of the most important differences between this garment and a regular fleece is its motorcycle-specific armor compatibility. The Harley Davidson Jacket 120th Anniversary includes pockets for CE-certified D3O Ghost armor at the shoulders and elbows, while a back armor pocket is designed for compatible D3O Viper back protection. The armor components may be sold separately depending on the configuration.

Harley-Davidson’s conformity documentation identifies the 120th Anniversary Deflector Riding Fleece as a motorcycle protective garment meeting EN 17092-4:2020 Class A requirements.

Reflective Details for Better Visibility

The jacket features 3M Scotchlite reflective material piping at the back yoke. Reflective detailing can be especially useful for riders who commute early in the morning, ride after sunset, or encounter changing visibility conditions.

Rather than making the jacket look overly technical, the reflective piping is integrated into the overall Black/Quiet Shade design. This keeps the garment visually clean while adding a practical riding feature.

Practical Storage

Storage is another useful feature of the 97178-23VM. The jacket includes zippered hand-warmer pockets along with an interior stash pocket and interior zipper pocket. These compartments provide convenient places for smaller riding essentials such as keys, cards, a wallet, or other personal items.

Secure zippered storage is particularly useful during motorcycle riding because it reduces the chance of smaller items falling out while moving.

Caring for Your Harley Davidson Jacket 120th Anniversary

Looking After It
