A summer riding jacket is the perfect riding jacket when the summer weather disappoints and you need protection from the elements. The jacket combines lightweight, freedom of movement and a great design so you can ride and look good - whether you're training, at shows or just using the jacket for everyday use.
What is a summer riding jacket?
A summer riding jacket is designed to give the rider maximum comfort in hot conditions. Unlike winter riding jackets and transition jackets, summer riding jackets are typically made from breathable materials like polyester and softshell that allow air circulation and let moisture escape to avoid clamminess while riding. Many models also feature mesh panels to increase ventilation and further improve breathability.
Many summer riding jackets are also made with extra UV protection so you can ride safely in the sun. This makes them ideal for long rides during the summer months. A good fit is essential - the jacket should follow the body's movements without being too tight and allow full freedom of movement around the shoulders and back.
Good features with a summer riding jacket
When choosing the perfect riding jacket, look for features that match your different needs as a rider:
- Practical zipper pockets so you can easily store either your phone or your keys.
- Adjustable waist, cuffs and hood for flexibility in fit and weather protection.
- Optional Reflexes that increase your visibility when riding in the dark.
- Water-repellent properties that help even when the summer weather changes.
- Lightweight and breathability so you don't overheat.
- Nice designs with pockets that match the rest of your riding wardrobe.
The best summer riding jackets are designed with the rider in mind - from the sturdy zippers to the lightweight materials that make it easy to move freely in the saddle.
Summer riding jackets protect you from rain
While the weather is warm, summer can also bring wind and rain. That's why many riders opt for water-resistant raincoats, which keep you dry without compromising on breathability. Some jackets even double as Raincoats or transition jackets so you can use them for multiple seasons.
A popular choice is softshell jackets - they combine water-repellent material with flexibility and comfort, perfect for ladies who want a high-quality, versatile jacket. When the temperature rises, the summer jacket can still be worn. It's lightweight and with a zipper, it's super quick to put on and take off.
