The 24 best full-leather cruiser motorcycle jackets

The best full-leather cruiser motorcycle jackets all have a specific style to them, but they can still look very modern or classical (vintage), so there is most likely something for everyone’s taste. One of the most important factors for the best cruiser leather jackets is safety features like shoulder, elbow and back protectors.

Overview

In this collective review, we look at the best full-leather cruiser motorcycle jackets that have at least some basic protection in the event of a crash. It might also be worth noting that these jackets are more suited for traditional styled riders, and I’ll have a separate review for casual cruiser jackets. The jackets in this list are arranged alphabetically.

These are the 24 best full-leather cruiser motorcycle jackets:

---

Alpinestars Warhorse

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The Alpinestars Warhorse is a comfortable cruiser riding jacket with a soft texture but this may be more difficult to keep clean” ~ Two Motion

---

---

Belstaff Riser

⭐⭐⭐

“The Belstaff Riser is more style than protection since there isn’t a back protector available and a huge price tag” ~ Two Motion

---

---

Coretech Idol

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The Coretech Idol is a great full-leather jacket that is affordable and will fit with any cruiser motorcycle” ~ Two Motion

---

---

Coretech Relic

⭐⭐⭐

---

---

Dainese Bardo Perforated

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The Dainese Bardo Perforated is a great option for deep-summer riding since most of the leather is perforated, but you’ll be paying almost $700 for this jacket with a back protector” ~ Two Motion

---

---

Dainese Razon

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The Dainese Razon is an all-season leather riding jacket with good ventilation that performs just as well as it looks” ~ Two Motion

First Manufacturing Enforcer

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The First Manufacturing Enforcer is more of a show-off than an actual riding jacket but it looks pretty dope” ~ Two Motion

First Manufacturing Indy

⭐⭐⭐

“The First Manufacturing Indy is basically a stripped-down version of the Commuter that has less protection for a very similar price” ~ Two Motion

“The First Manufacturing Nemesis is a black version of the Indy which also has little protection in comparison to the Commuter” ~ Two Motion

---

---

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The First Manufacturing Raider is an all-in-one manbag jacket combo which is surprisingly much more affordable than an actual handbag for ladies” ~ Two Motion

---

---

First Manufacturing Rocky

⭐⭐⭐

“The First Manufacturing Rocky has a clean and simple design that might reduce the price, but it also cuts away on protection which isn’t ideal” ~ Two Motion

---

---

First Manufacturing Top Performer

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The First Manufacturing Top Performer is definitely named correctly as it is very well designed and comes at a good price but it’s a shame that a back protector isn’t available on purchase” ~ Two Motion

---

“The Highway 21 Gasser leather jacket offers removable body and back protection right from the start while still being affordable and stylish” ~ Two Motion

---

---

Highway 21 Gunner

⭐⭐⭐

“The Highway 21 Gunner might be more useful at a shooting range than on a motorcycle with all those concealed pockets and the lack of a decent back protector, but it has great venting features” ~ Two Motion

---

---

Spidi Firebird

⭐⭐⭐⭐

“The Spidi Firebird is a really cool looking leather jacket for those who don’t like shiny leather but you’re paying more for the styling than protection” ~ Two Motion
