Blending a unique combination of 3D mesh with mechanical stretch, 450D polyfabric reinforcements, and stretch softshell inserts. The 3D mesh offers premium breathability on the full chest, back and inner arms. The 3D mesh has been combined with 450D polyfabric on the outer arms, shoulders, and sides for CE rated abrasion resistance.
Stretch softshell inserts incorporated in the pectoral and chest areas, as well as in the shoulder blades and around the collar provide for a perfect fitment for the Tech-Air® 5 Airbag System, as well as offer excellent levels of range of motion and freedom of movement. For additional protection, the Zaca Air Jacket has DFS Lite external shoulder sliders as well as Nucleon Flex Plus CE Level 1 protection on the shoulders and elbows.
Internally, the jacket sports a detachable 2L waterproof* liner to use when the weather gets cooler as an additional windbreaker, and which is particularly handy for riders that get caught in the rain. The detachable hood comes with an air extraction channel on the top to allow airflow to pass through and prevent it from filling up and flapping around while on the bike. The Zaca Air textile jacket provides a versatile, highly ventilated, and protective riding jacket for sporty street riders in need of optimal comfort on warmer days and complete body mobility and freedom of movement.

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.
