But, the main question I will answer in this review will be: Is this the best women’s motorcycle jacket<\/a> for you? Let’s find out!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Roland Sands Women’s Riot Jacket<\/p> Key Takeaways<\/p> Is this the best women’s motorcycle jacket<\/span>? After thoroughly testing the Riot leather jacket<\/span>, I believe RSD has another standout women’s jacket. The buttery soft leather exceeds expectations, while the quilted panels add protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RSD focused on a flattering feminine fit without compromising mobility. Small touches like the suede<\/span> liner and custom hardware elevate the premium quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While pricey, the Riot delivers value through meticulous construction, safety, and road-inspired style. I highly recommend the Riot as an exceptional leather option for female motorcyclists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Right away, I noticed the supple feel of the Riot’s premium black stone leather. It has a smooth finish and a subtle grain that gives it character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared to the stiff, heavy, pebbled leather on the Maven, the Riot feels beautifully broken in right out of the box. The leather quality exceeded my expectations with its softness and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n RSD used a thinner 0.8-0.9mm leather on the Riot. While not as heavy-duty as the Maven, it perfectly balanced abrasion resistance and a pliable feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The supple leather allows for natural movement on and off the bike. It also avoids the restrictive stiffness<\/span> of thicker race-grade leathers until they are well worn in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Riot’s premium leather delivers for riders wanting a jacket with a luxurious look and feel. I loved the character and grain throughout this top-shelf leather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Roland](\"https:\/\/kingsmotorcyclegear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Roland-Sands-Womens-Riot-Jacket-Review.jpg\")
