$279.90: Spidi Street Tex Jacket

If you don’t want to make it obvious by your jacket that you’re a motorcyclist, then maybe the Spidi Street Tex is calling your name. Available in both men’s and women’s versions (the lady version is shown here), the Street Tex primarily has warm-weather riding in mind while looking like a jacket you could wear out to the movies.

Constructed from polyamide outer fabric with a waterproof treatment, mesh lining rests inside the jacket, and a quilted liner helps keep the rider warm when it’s chilly out. Of course, there’s CE-approved armor in the shoulder and elbows, and a snap at the waist allows you to attach a pair of pants. It isn’t as secure as a zipper attachment, but it’s better than nothing. With two external pockets and one inside, the Street Tex (available in red, white and black) looks good either on or off the bike, and provides protection to boot.
