Ideal for all-season urban riding, the jacket boasts a detachable thermal wadding layer that can also be worn as a stand-alone garment if needed. Lightweight and functional, the Centrale women jacket integrates Absoluteshell Pro laminated waterproof* membrane – a shield against the coldest temperatures and able to dry quickly – and entirely four-way soft stretch fabric.
EN 17092 class A certification and the inclusion of detachable Pro-Armor L1-certified protectors on shoulders and elbows – soft protectors with large ventilated surfaces – as well as a pocket designed to accommodate G1 and G2 back protectors (sold separately).
The Centrale women jacket features a detachable padded collar and a hood that can be rolled up when riding using the reflective back band. The hood has an internal metal core that allows to tighten it around the face, creating a peak that protects against atmospheric agents (Uno Touch™ Hood Peak technology) – with just one hand. Once off the motorcycle, the waterproof and lined lower pocket will keep your hands nice and warm.

Motorcycle gear comes in various levels of waterproofness, which is important for comfort and safety during wet rides. Most waterproof jackets, pants, gloves, and footwear have a membrane that prevents water from penetrating the outer layer. These products keep you dry, but there's a limit to how much they can penetrate. A waterproof membrane doesn't mean 100% waterproof. With prolonged exposure to rain or under high pressure, the outer layer can still let moisture through. This means you could get wet after longer rides in heavy rain, especially in areas where the fabric moves intensively or where seams are less well-protected.
Looking for 100% waterproof? Then choose a product with a Gore-Tex membrane. Gore-Tex is a specially designed membrane that is both waterproof and breathable. The membrane contains microscopic pores that are too small for water droplets to penetrate, but large enough to allow water vapor (sweat) to escape. This keeps rain and spray out, while your body heat and moisture are wicking away. You will ride dry and comfortable, even in prolonged or heavy rain.
In short: regular waterproof motorcycle clothing keeps out short(er) rainshowers, while Gore-Tex effectively protects against prolonged rain and at the same time provides breathable comfort.
