Product Overview Harley-Davidson Women Jacket

The Harley-Davidson Fennimore Riding Colorblocked Functional Jacket (98287-19VW) is built for women who ride, not just women who want a moto-inspired look. The White/Black/Orange colorblocking gives it a distinct silhouette on the road, but the construction underneath is what separates a functional riding jacket from a fashion jacket: reinforced panels at impact-prone zones, a fit cut to work with a riding posture, and hardware placed where a rider actually needs it, like at the cuffs, collar, and waist.

Functional motorcycle jackets are built around abrasion resistance and impact protection first, with style treated as a secondary layer on top of that structure. The European motorcycle protective clothing standard EN 17092 is the reference point most riding jacket makers design against, covering abrasion resistance, seam strength, and impact zone protection. Whether or not a specific garment is certified, the design principles behind that standard, reinforced high-impact zones and abrasion-resistant shell material, are exactly what separates true riding gear from casual outerwear that only looks the part.

Key Features & Benefits Harley-Davidson Women Jacket

• Colorblocked White/Black/Orange design gives high visibility along with a distinct on-road look
• Abrasion-resistant textile shell built for real riding conditions, not just casual wear
• Armor-ready pockets at the shoulders and elbows for CE-rated protective inserts
• Adjustable waist tabs keep the jacket snug and prevent wind flap at highway speed
• Reinforced cuffs seal out wind and road debris
• Ventilation panels help manage heat on warmer rides without sacrificing structure
• Embroidered and printed Harley-Davidson branding across the chest and back
• Women’s specific pattern, tailored through the shoulders, bust, and waist rather than resized from men’s blocks

Why Choose This Harley-Davidson Women Jacket

Buying a “riding jacket” versus a jacket that merely looks like one matters most in the moment a rider actually needs the gear to work. Harley-Davidson has designed motorcycle-specific apparel for generations, and the brand’s own Harley-Davidson riding gear and MotorClothes guidance outlines how functional riding jackets differ from casual leather or textile jackets in armor placement, seam reinforcement, and fit for an actual riding position.

Independent motorcycle safety research backs up why this distinction matters. The Motorcycle Council of NSW’s research on protective riding gear and similar road safety bodies consistently find that jackets built with abrasion-resistant materials and impact armor reduce injury severity in low-to-moderate speed incidents compared to standard clothing. Separately, the NHTSA’s motorcycle safety resources recommend high-visibility colors and properly fitted protective outerwear as two of the simplest ways riders can reduce risk, both of which this jacket’s colorblocked panel design and adjustable fit are built around.

FlickLeathers sources this jacket directly through authorized Harley-Davidson channels. That matters because counterfeit or unlicensed “moto-style” jackets frequently skip the armor pockets, reinforced panels, and abrasion-resistant shell fabric entirely, leaving riders with a garment that looks right in a photo but offers little real protection on the road.

Sizing & Fit Guidance Harley-Davidson Women Jacket

Because Harley-Davidson Women Jacket is a functional riding jacket rather than a relaxed casual jacket, the fit runs closer to the body than a typical outerwear piece, intentionally, so armor sits correctly and the shell doesn’t billow at speed. Riders planning to wear a base layer or light hoodie underneath should consider sizing up one size.

The Harley-Davidson women’s size chart gives exact body measurements to confirm fit before ordering.

Comparison Table: Functional Riding Jacket vs. Fashion Moto Jacket

The Harley-Davidson Fennimore jacket is a functional riding jacket, not a fashion moto jacket, because it includes armor-ready pockets, an abrasion-resistant shell, and an adjustable riding fit, features casual moto-style jackets typically leave out.

How to Care for Your Riding Jacket

• Check the garment’s care label before washing, since armor inserts (if installed) must be removed first
• Spot clean the shell fabric when possible to preserve abrasion resistance
• Air dry away from direct heat, which can degrade reinforced panel materials
• Inspect armor pockets and adjustment straps periodically for wear
• Store on a hanger to help the shell and reinforced panels hold their shape
