The Hooded Riding Fleece Black by Harley-Davidson combines the casual appearance of a hoodie with riding-focused construction for women. The Harley-Davidson Womens Deflector Hooded Riding Fleece – Black, 98112-23VW is made from a 66% polyester and 34% cotton polar fleece blend with a 100% polyester mesh lining. Its windproof construction, abrasion-resistant design, adjustable hood, and reflective details make it a practical choice for riders who want comfortable fleece styling with motorcycle-oriented features. Many customers wear the Harley Davidson Fleece Jacket off the bike as well as on it.

Comfortable Fleece Construction

The Deflector Hooded Riding Fleece uses polar fleece as its primary material, combining polyester and cotton for a warm, comfortable outer layer. The 100% polyester mesh lining provides an interior layer suited to riding use while helping maintain the Harley Davidson Fleece Jacket’s lightweight fleece character.

The black finish gives this Hooded Riding Fleece Black a versatile appearance. It works naturally with motorcycle jeans, riding pants, boots, gloves, and everyday casual clothing. The Harley-Davidson branding is incorporated through direct embroidery, giving the Harley Davidson Fleece Jacket recognizable motorcycle character without relying on an overly complicated design.

These collections provide additional options for building a coordinated motorcycle wardrobe.

Windproof Design and Ventilation

One of the notable features of this riding fleece is its combination of windproof materials and zippered underarm ventilation. The vents can be opened when additional airflow is needed, while the windproof construction is intended to provide protection from moving air during cooler rides.

The Fleece Jacket also features pre-curved sleeves. This construction is useful for maintaining a comfortable riding position and gives the sleeves a shape suited to motorcycle use. An adjustable hood adds versatility, allowing the wearer to adjust the hood according to personal preference.

For women comparing different riding jacket constructions, the Harley-Davidson Gas Station Textile Riding Jacket provides a textile alternative, while the Harley-Davidson Ozello Perforated Leather Jacket offers a leather construction with ventilation-oriented features.

Two-Way Zipper and Practical Pockets

The front of the Deflector fleece uses a two-way zipper. This gives the wearer flexibility when opening or closing the Harley Davidson Fleece Jacket and can be useful when seated on a motorcycle. The design also includes zippered hand-warmer pockets for everyday essentials.

Inside, there is one stash pocket and one interior zipper pocket. These compartments provide convenient storage while keeping smaller belongings secured inside the Harley Davidson Fleece Jacket.

For another women’s Harley-Davidson outerwear option, the Willie G. Skull 3-in-1 leather jacket provides a layered leather alternative, while the Miss Enthusiast 2.0 Leather 3-in-1 Jacket combines leather construction with a removable hoodie layer.

Abrasion-Resistant Riding Construction

Unlike a standard casual fleece hoodie, the Deflector is designed with motorcycle riding in mind. Its listed features include abrasion resistance and armor pockets at the shoulders, elbows, and back. The manufacturer catalog identifies pockets for optional D3O Ghost armor at the shoulders and elbows, with a back pocket compatible with D3O Viper back armor sold separately.

This means riders can configure the Harley Davidson Fleece Jacket with compatible protective equipment rather than treating it simply as everyday fleece apparel.

The Fleece Jacket is also listed with 3M Scotchlite reflective material piping at the back yoke. Contrasting reflective piping adds a visual detail intended to improve visibility when illuminated by external light. Reflective material should be considered a supplementary visibility feature rather than a replacement for motorcycle lighting or safe riding practices.

Casual Harley-Davidson Styling

The Hooded Riding Fleece Black has a casual silhouette that makes it easy to wear both around the motorcycle and during everyday activities. The hood gives it the familiar appearance of a sweatshirt, while the two-way zipper, ventilation, abrasion resistance, and armor pockets distinguish it from a conventional hoodie.

Caring for Your Harley Davidson Fleece Jacket

Wipe the Harley Davidson Fleece Jacket with a damp cloth after dusty rides and let it dry naturally away from direct heat. Check the care label before washing, and hang it on a wide hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.

Caring for Your Layer

Available in 2XS to 5XL, plus 1W–3W (13 sizes). For the best fit, check the size guide and allow room for layers if you ride in cold weather. Wash with similar colours on a gentle cycle and skip the high heat to prevent shrinking. For further reading, visit Natchez Trace Parkway (NPS).
