The Harley-Davidson Men’s Ovation 3-in-1 Textile Riding Jacket 98102-24VM is a versatile Black Textile Jacket created for riders who want motorcycle functionality, adaptable layering, and distinctive Harley-Davidson styling. Finished in Black Beauty with Vintage Orange accents, this Harley Davidson Ovation Textile Jacket combines a heavyweight nylon outer shell with a removable French terry hoodie, reflective details, D3O armor compatibility, and a practical riding-focused design.

The Harley-Davidson Ovation 3-in-1 Textile Riding Jacket features a 100% heavyweight nylon plain-weave shell, polyester mesh lining, removable hoodie, articulated sleeves, action-back construction, reflective piping, and two-way zipper. The Harley Davidson Ovation Textile Jacket is certified to EN 17092-4:2020.

3-in-1 Versatility for Riders

The defining feature of this Black Textile Jacket is its 3-in-1 construction. The removable hoodie gives you another layer when temperatures drop and can be removed when you want a lighter riding configuration.

The hoodie is made from 60% cotton and 40% polyester midweight French terry and features a zip front, kangaroo pocket, rib-knit cuffs, and rib-knit waistband. Its relatively clean styling also makes it useful away from the motorcycle.

This adaptable approach is useful for riders who need clothing that can transition between commuting, weekend riding, and everyday activities.

Heavyweight Nylon Construction

The outer shell is constructed from 100% heavyweight nylon plain weave, giving the Harley Davidson Ovation Textile Jacket a substantial textile exterior suitable for motorcycle use. The Harley Davidson Ovation Textile Jacket also uses polyester mesh body and sleeve lining for added comfort.

The Black Beauty color creates a versatile base, while Vintage Orange graphics and sleeve striping provide a recognizable Harley-Davidson appearance.

D3O Ghost Armor Compatibility

Protection is an important part of the Ovation’s design. The Ovation Textile Jacket includes CE-certified D3O Ghost armor at the shoulders and elbows, while the back contains a pocket designed to accommodate compatible D3O Viper back armor, which is sold separately.

D3O armor is known for providing flexible protection while maintaining a relatively lightweight feel, making it appropriate for riders who want protection integrated into everyday-looking motorcycle clothing.

EN 17092-4:2020 Certified

The Ovation is certified to EN 17092-4:2020, and Harley-Davidson’s conformity documentation identifies the garment as a Class A protective motorcycle garment.

This certification distinguishes the Ovation from a conventional casual textile jacket. Riders should still select the correct size and use appropriate additional protective equipment according to their riding conditions.

Action Back and Articulated Sleeves

Riding requires a different range of movement than ordinary everyday clothing. The Ovation addresses this with an action back and pre-curved, articulated sleeves.

These features are designed to provide greater freedom of movement when your arms are positioned forward toward the handlebars.

The Harley Davidson Ovation Textile Jacket also includes a snap-tab collar, airprene collar roll, and throat guard to improve comfort around the neck.

Two-Way Zipper and Zippered Cuffs

The front uses a two-way zipper, allowing greater flexibility while sitting in a riding position. The lower zipper can be adjusted according to comfort and riding posture.

The sleeves feature zippered cuffs, making it easier to adjust the opening and pair the Harley Davidson Ovation Textile Jacket with motorcycle gloves.

The combination of these features makes the Black Textile Jacket suitable for commuting, touring, and recreational riding.

Reflective Details

The Ovation includes 3M Scotchlite reflective material piping and reflective shoulder seaming. These details add visibility-focused elements without overwhelming the black styling.

The Vintage Orange graphics provide additional contrast and give the jacket its distinctive Harley-Davidson appearance.

Practical Storage

The Black Textile Jacket provides zippered welt hand-warmer pockets along with two interior pockets, including one with a zipper closure. These storage areas give riders practical space for smaller personal belongings.

The removable hoodie also includes a kangaroo pocket, making it useful as a casual layer when worn independently.
