Jackets

Heading out in summer heat, rain or wind, or need a team jacket for the next meet? This category brings together mesh, textile, rain and softshell jackets for you who want a jacket that suits both the weather and your passion for motorsport.

How to choose a jacket type

Start with what the jacket will be used for. A mesh jacket has open netting that can let air through on warm days. Examples include Speed and Strength Trial By Fire and FIRSTGEAR Reflex. A textile jacket such as Speed and Strength Off The Chain 3.0 is typically more closed and can be used in more types of weather. For rain, there is for example the Akrapovic Corpo Rain Jacket. The Akrapovic Corpo Softshell Jacket is an alternative when you want a layer against wind and cold. If the jacket should show your team affiliation at meets and track days, a team jacket such as the HKS Team Jacket 2025 is an option. How well a jacket protects against the weather or in a fall depends on the specific model, so check the product description for the individual part number.

Size, fit and layering

In this category you will find, for example, sizes from M to 3XL. Some models are available in a women's fit, such as the Speed and Strength Starstruck Mesh Jacket. Measure your chest and sleeve length and compare with the manufacturer's size chart, as the fit can vary between brands. Also consider whether you want room for a hoodie or an extra layer under the jacket. The category also includes jackets from SPARCO and OMP. You can complete your look with gloves or find more in apparel and accessories.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a mesh jacket and a textile jacket?

A mesh jacket has open netting that can provide more airflow when it is hot. A textile jacket is typically more closed and can offer more shelter from wind and weather. Which one suits you best depends on the season and how you use it.

Can a softshell jacket replace a rain jacket?

It depends on the weather. A softshell jacket can typically handle wind and light moisture, while a rain jacket is designed to keep water out. If you are often out in persistent rain, it can be an advantage to have both as separate layers.

How do I wash a jacket with logos and prints?

Follow the care label in the jacket. Prints and logos typically last longer if you wash at a low temperature inside out and avoid the tumble dryer. A rain jacket may need re-waterproofing after a number of washes.
