European motorcycle clothing company Macna makes some advanced technology gear with a lot of street smarts, although some of the colours and designs in their 2019 range might be a little adventurous for some riders.
Bright blues and yellows are not your typical motorcycle fare. But there is also some basic black and charcoal colours for the more traditional male rider.
There are also hoodies, semi-hoodies and army-style designs.
If these men’s jackets are half as clever as the Aytee all-season jacket we love to use on tour, then they should be worth the money.
Some are suitable for summer and some for winter and a few for all seasons.
Prices are not high, either. The eight new jackets range in price from $249.95 to just $429.95.
All European gear now has to be properly certified and these jackets contain a lot of protective materials for abrasion and impact resistance.
While Macna has added eight new men’s jackets, there are no new women’s jackets.
Their current women’s jackets include four in the Core range and four in the Graphite lineup.
Here are the product descriptions as supplied by Macna importers Link International.
