The Harley-Davidson Womens Gas Station Textile Riding Jacket Black – 97197-25VW combines workwear-inspired styling with practical motorcycle protection and everyday riding comfort. Designed specifically for women riders, this Harley Davidson Gas Riding Jacket features a rugged heavyweight stretch twill construction, boxy silhouette, protective D3O® Ghost™ armor, ventilation, reflective detailing, and multiple secure pockets.

The black finish gives this Harley Davidson Gas Riding Jacket a classic Harley-Davidson appearance that works naturally with motorcycle jeans, riding boots, gloves, and other protective apparel. The Women Jacket is certified to EN 17092-4:2020 and includes certified shoulder and elbow armor, making it suitable for riders who want protective motorcycle clothing without giving up a casual workwear-inspired appearance.

Classic Workwear-Inspired Women Jacket Design

The Gas Station Textile Riding Jacket takes inspiration from traditional service-station and workwear clothing while adding motorcycle-specific features. Its boxy silhouette provides a relaxed appearance and is designed to avoid bunching or restricting movement during riding.

Raised embroidery adds dimensional Harley-Davidson styling, while the contrast lining gives the interior a distinctive finish. A hidden snap-down collar creates a clean appearance when closed and helps keep the collar controlled while riding.

Heavyweight Stretch Twill Construction

This Women Jacket is constructed from a heavyweight stretch twill blend consisting of 78% cotton, 16% nylon, 5% polyester, 4% elastomultiester, and 2% elastane. The material provides a combination of structure, durability, and stretch for everyday riding use. A 100% nylon satin lining provides a smooth interior finish.

The stretch construction is particularly useful when riding because movement through the shoulders and arms can be important when controlling the motorcycle. The Women Jacket Action Back and pre-curved sleeves further support riding mobility.

D3O® Ghost™ Shoulder and Elbow Armor

Protection is an important part of the Gas Station Textile Riding Jacket. The Women Jacket includes EN 1621-1 certified D3O® Ghost™ armor at the shoulders and elbows. These armor inserts are designed to provide impact protection while maintaining a relatively flexible feel.

The Harley Davidson Gas Riding Jacket also has a dedicated back armor pocket that fits EN 1621-2 certified D3O® Viper back body armor, which is sold separately. This gives riders the ability to add compatible back protection according to their preferred riding setup.

The complete garment is certified to EN 17092-4:2020, Class A requirements. Harley-Davidson’s declaration of conformity confirms that style 97197-25VW conforms to the relevant motorcycle protective-garment requirements.

Underarm Ventilation for Airflow

Warm-weather riding can become uncomfortable when air cannot move through a motorcycle jacket. The Gas Station Textile Riding Jacket addresses this with underarm zippered vents that allow riders to increase airflow when conditions become warmer.

The ventilation system works together with the stretch twill construction to create a practical balance between protective riding apparel and everyday comfort.

Reflective Detailing

Visibility is another useful feature of this Harley-Davidson. 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material piping is positioned at the back collar, adding reflective detailing that can help the Harley Davidson Gas Riding Jacket stand out when illuminated in low-light conditions.

The reflective piping remains subtle during daylight, so the Gas Riding Jacket retains its clean black workwear-inspired appearance.

Two-Way Zipper and Adjustable Cuffs

A two-way front zipper provides flexible closure and can be useful for riders who want additional movement around the lower portion of the Harley Davidson Gas Riding Jacket. Adjustable snap cuffs allow the sleeve openings to be secured according to the rider’s preference.

The combination of pre-curved sleeves, Action Back construction, and adjustable cuffs makes the Harley Davidson Gas Riding Jacket practical for motorcycle riding while maintaining its casual workwear character.

Multiple Zippered Storage Pockets

Storage is built into the jacket with several dedicated compartments. The exterior includes zippered hand-warmer pockets and a vertical chest pocket with zipper closure. Inside, there is one stash pocket and another interior pocket with a zipper.

Fit and Care Tips

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. Wash the shell gently with a mild detergent and let it air-dry; remove armor first. For background, the Wikipedia article on Motorcycle trials is a useful read.
