Why Riders Choose This Jacket

Ventilation and armor usually pull in opposite directions: more protection often means more heat. The 2.0 Textile Riding Jacket addresses that with three strategically placed vents, an underarm airflow diverter, and a fold-back front zipper extension designed to move air even on bikes with fairings and windshields. The armor doing the protecting is D3O Ghost, a low-profile impact material that stays soft in normal wear and hardens instantly on impact, a mechanism explained in more detail by D3O’s own technology overview.

Full Product Description

The 2.0 Textile Riding Jacket updates Harley-Davidson’s Willie G Skull Graphic line with real functional upgrades, not just a fresh graphic. Built from heavyweight cotton-blend denim with a polyester mesh lining, the jacket is constructed to handle real riding conditions: wind, heat, and the occasional bad day on two wheels.

At the center of the jacket’s protection is D3O Ghost armor at the shoulders and elbows. This impact material stays flexible during normal movement and stiffens on sudden force, giving riders CE-certified protection without the bulk of traditional foam padding, a design approach covered in independent gear reviews like Motorcycle News’ breakdown of D3O’s Ghost armor line. A dedicated back armor pocket is built in for riders who want to add D3O Viper back body armor, sold separately, for full-torso coverage.

Airflow is handled by the Triple Vent System 2.0, a set of three strategically placed vents combined with an underarm airflow diverter and a fold-back front zipper extension. This setup is engineered to move air even on motorcycles with fairings and windshields, where airflow to a rider’s torso is often blocked. A 4-way stretch action back panel keeps the jacket moving with the rider through turns and long stretches in the saddle, rather than fighting against posture on the bike.

Visibility and finish get the same attention as protection. 3M Scotchlite reflective material is placed to catch headlights and improve visibility after dark, while contrast fabric piecing and the Willie G Skull graphic tie the jacket back to one of Harley-Davidson’s most recognized design legacies. A split mandarin collar, zippered cuffs, and zippered hand-warmer pockets round out a jacket built to be worn daily, not just for photos.

Storage is practical: an interior stash pocket and an interior zipper pocket keep small essentials secure and out of the way while riding. The jacket ships ready to ride, and pairs naturally with the rest of a full kit; explore women’s riding jackets and gear or complementary pieces from the men’s collection at Flick Leathers.

Materials & Construction

The shell is made from a heavyweight cotton-polyester-spandex denim blend, giving it more structure and abrasion resistance than a plain cotton jacket while retaining enough stretch for comfortable movement. The 100% polyester mesh lining adds breathability without extra bulk, an important detail for a jacket designed around heat management.

Fit & Sizing

This is a women’s jacket with an action back and pre-curved sleeve design intended for a riding posture rather than a standing one. Because the fit is closer through the body than a casual jacket, check chest and torso measurements against our size guide before ordering, particularly if you plan to wear it with additional armor inserts underneath.

Safety Certification

This 2.0 Textile Riding Jacket carries certification to EN 17092-4:2020, the European standard specifically governing Class A protective garments for motorcycle riders, as outlined in detail by SATRA’s technical guide to EN 17092. Class A garments are built to provide baseline abrasion and impact protection while keeping weight and heat penalties lower than heavier-duty classes, making them a practical choice for everyday and warm-weather riding.

Care Instructions 2.0 Textile Riding Jacket

Textile riding jackets with reflective trims and armor inserts generally hold up best with spot cleaning and gentle care rather than routine machine washing, which can affect both the reflective material and the fit of the armor pockets over time. Remove any armor inserts before cleaning, and consult the jacket’s care label for wash and dry instructions specific to this fabric blend.
