Summer may be halfway through, but there’s still time to invest in a quality lightweight jacket.
To some extent, Roadskin’s reputation for providing comfortable, practical, safe and affordable riding gear was founded on its range of armoured hoodies and jackets. Never one to rest on its laurels, Roadskin has listened to feedback and recently launched a lighter-weight ‘summer’ jacket, the Dakota.

Crafted from lightweight Cordura fabric and achieving a CE AA rating, the Dakota jacket offers exceptional abrasion resistance while remaining cool, breathable and easy to wear. This high-performance material ensures protection without bulk, making it ideal for long summer rides. Its innovative design features a CF mesh zipped vent and a back yoke air vent, allowing for unmatched airflow to keep you cool, even on sweltering days.

When it comes to safety, the Dakota is equipped with Rheon CE Level 2 armour at the back, shoulders and elbows, providing impact protection for those critical areas. The double-stitched main seams enhance durability, ensuring your jacket can withstand the demands of the road. The secure belt connector keeps the jacket snug and prevents it from riding up as you move.
Not only is the Dakota built for safety, but it also delivers on style and practicality. The neat stand-up collar adds a stylish touch and offers protection and warmth during those cooler morning starts. With seven practical pockets, including internal and external compartments, you’ll have plenty of space to securely store your essentials, from keys and wallets to your phone and other ride accessories.
Available in sizes S to XXXL, this jacket is thoughtfully designed to meet your everyday needs. Its lightweight construction, advanced safety features and stylish design make it the ultimate choice for your next summer adventure. It should be noted that the Dakota jacket features a looser fit compared with Roadskin’s standard sizing and it’s recommended ordering a size smaller than usual for the best fit.
