Buy motorcycle jackets with removable inner lining for the road
Having a jacket that protects us in the coldest times of the year is essential to enjoy pleasant rides on two wheels. Jackets with thermal lining allow us to enjoy our motorcycle on cold days, preventing the cold from entering the body and providing a pleasant internal climate. These jackets have an inner thermal lining, usually made of polyester, which can be removable, adding versatility to the jacket as it can be used in any season. Some of the most recognized thermal materials include 3M Thinsulate™, Shell Tech™, Primaloft™, Thermolite®, or Thermoline®, all used in manufacturing to provide perfect insulation. Some jackets with thermal lining also have a waterproof membrane for added comfort and protection against rain. If you are looking for a jacket with thermal lining that offers good value for money, we recommend checking out our outlet section.
Types of motorcycle jackets
Jackets with thermal lining that also have an airbag provide excellent protection against impacts, as they feature a high-tech system that activates in case of a fall. At Motocard, we offer a wide range of jackets with thermal lining and predisposition for installing airbags from prestigious brands such as Alpinestars or Furygan, among others.
Leather jackets offer a unique cut and aesthetic, providing a perfect fit. Those equipped with thermal lining offer greater comfort in low temperatures without compromising style.
Waterproof jackets have a membrane that prevents water from entering the jacket and are ideal for winter or rainy seasons. Well-known membranes include Gore-Tex®, Alpinestars' Drystar, and Dainese's D-Dry.
Women's jackets offer a specific cut that adapts perfectly to the female body. At Motocard, we have a wide range of women's jackets with thermal lining, allowing you to enjoy your motorcycle even in the remotest places on the planet.
Casual jackets are perfect for urban use and daily wear. They have an ideal cut for city use, allowing greater mobility. Those with thermal lining provide extra insulation during winter.
Which jacket is best for each season?
Jackets with thermal lining for winter usually have a thicker and more substantial lining (up to 400g) to provide greater insulation and excellent protection against low temperatures. Many winter jackets also come equipped with a waterproof membrane to prevent water from penetrating the jacket.
Jackets with thermal lining for spring-summer allow us to enjoy our motorcycle during the hottest months of the year thanks to ventilation systems and grids that allow greater airflow. The thermal lining of these jackets is usually removable and thinner (80-90g) to provide greater comfort regardless of the weather.
All-season jackets are a great choice as they cover winter and summer needs in a single garment. They usually come with a removable inner thermal lining of medium thickness and a removable waterproof membrane, allowing adaptation to any situation.
What types of thermals are available for jackets?
There are different types of thermals with varying thickness in grams, providing suitable insulation for any weather condition and ensuring excellent comfort for every journey. Some well-known brands include Thinsulate™ by 3M, Primaloft®, Shell Tech™, Thermolite®, or Thermoline®.
Thinsulate™ stands out for its high lightweight, providing greater freedom of movement compared to other thermals, and it keeps the body dry and warm while offering high water resistance.
Primaloft® offers similar performance to Thinsulate™ as it is also made of synthetic fibers, providing less volume and weight while offering the same insulation as other materials.
Shell Tech™ is the thermal lining developed by the brand Bering, offering perfect insulation, waterproofing, breathability, and wind resistance. There are different versions of linings; some have 2 or 3 layers to provide higher quality, versatility, and durability.
Thermolite® offers maximum insulation and breathability, preventing moisture thanks to its construction with hollow fibers, providing lightness, softness, and high resistance.

Having a good jacket that protects you from the cold is crucial to fully enjoy every motorcycle ride regardless of the temperature. Therefore, we offer maximum quality and performance, so nothing stops you.
Questions about jackets with removable thermal lining
What are the materials used for thermal linings?
The materials used for thermal linings are high-resistance materials, consisting of very compact fibers to prevent gaps where cold air can enter. Additionally, they must be breathable to absorb sweat and keep the body dry and warm. Most thermal linings are made of synthetic fibers such as polyester, providing high insulation and breathability. Being made of synthetic material makes the lining much lighter and less bulky, allowing greater freedom of movement and, therefore, greater comfort.
How is the level of insulation measured?
There are different levels of insulation that offer greater or lesser protection against the cold. It is measured based on the grams of thickness of the insulating material, with greater thickness providing higher insulation. Thermal linings range from 30-40 grams, which are the thinnest linings providing less protection, suitable for summer garments, to thermal linings with up to 400 grams of thickness, ideal for resisting low temperatures. Some jackets may even have different thickness in the torso than in the arms for added comfort.
What are the most well-known technologies?
Thinsulate™
Thinsulate™ is manufactured by the American multinational 3M, specializing in research, development, and innovation in various fields. The composition of Thinsulate™ linings consists of synthetic fibers approximately 15 micrometers in diameter, providing increased density and reduced heat and moisture retention. These thin fibers allow greater freedom of movement and are hydrophobic, meaning they do not absorb water, preventing weight gain. Thinsulate™ linings are made of different polymer blends, varying in thickness and weight, but most contain 67% polypropylene fibers and 33% polyester fibers. Thinsulate™ insulation works by trapping air molecules between the body and the exterior; the more molecules it traps in a specific space, the greater the insulation. There are various types of Thinsulate™, including Thinsulate™ Type B, Type C, and Thinsulate™ Lite Loft. Type B is designed to resist compression and moderate pressure, making it suitable for footwear. Type C is designed for sports or work clothing, offering greater insulation. Thinsulate™ Lite Loft is specific for items like quilts, sleeping bags, and ski clothing.
Primaloft®
Primaloft® lining is known for its lightweight, waterproof, and soft characteristics. It is made of ultra-fine fibers that trap heat, providing pleasant comfort. Different types of Primaloft® linings include Gold, Silver, Black Hi-Loft, and Eco. Gold offers high performance and is suitable for adventurous riders, retaining up to 98% of heat. Silver is made of small bags that trap body heat without bulging, allowing greater freedom of movement. Black Hi-Loft is made with synthetic fibers, offering compression capability, softness, high-density insulation, and breathability. Eco is made with recycled materials, promoting environmental respect, and includes 70% recycled fibers with a water-repellent treatment for immediate warmth.
Shell Tech™
Shell Tech™ is the thermal lining developed by Bering, offering four different types of thermals, each with specific characteristics providing the right comfort for each circumstance. In increasing order of insulation, they include Classic, Super, Mega, and Extrem. Classic is a wadding lining with vertically stitched padded strips of about 3.5cm. Super is a wadding lining with aluminum inlays, made with vertically welded padded strips of 3.5cm. Mega is made of micro-polar wadding with aluminum inlays and double-welded padded strips of 8cm. Extrem is made with Primaloft® lining, providing maximum insulation against low temperatures.
Thermolite®
Thermolite® lining stands out for being the first to use innovative hollow fiber technology for its construction. Hollow fibers generate high insulation and moisture transport to the outside, always keeping the body dry. This technology provides greater warmth with less weight, transporting moisture from the skin to the outside for faster evaporation and keeping the body dry, as moisture on the skin would feel colder.
