Find your size
The right fit is essential for comfort, freedom of movement and correct protector positioning. Use our size charts, check the fit in your typical riding position or contact us for personal advice.
Finding the right size
How do I find the right size?
.
Take your body measurements with a measuring tape and compare them with our size charts. Measure close to the body and wear only light clothing.
Pay particular attention to the measurements relevant to the product, such as chest, waist, hips and inside leg length.
Consider your body measurements as well as the clothing and product layers you intend to wear underneath or inside your motorcycle clothing.
Do not automatically choose the smaller size. Motorcycle clothing may fit closely, but it must not restrict your movement. At the same time, it should not be so loose that the protectors can move out of position.
If your measurements correspond to different sizes, start with the size indicated by the larger relevant measurement and then check the position of the protectors.
No. The fit may vary depending on the product, material and intended use. A close-fitting leather jacket, for example, fits differently from a multi-layer adventure jacket.
Please also check the specific sizing and fit information on the respective product page.
Checking the fit
The fit while sitting on the motorcycle is more important than the fit while standing.
When trying on your motorcycle clothing, assume your typical riding position. If no motorcycle is available, you can imitate the position while sitting on a chair.
Make sure that nothing presses, rides up, cuts in or restricts your movement.
A motorcycle jacket should fit close to the body without restricting you in your riding position.
Check the following:
- Can you comfortably reach the handlebars and controls?
- Does the jacket press against your neck, shoulders or underarms?
- Does the jacket ride up excessively while sitting?
- Do the shoulder and elbow protectors remain in the correct position?
- Do the sleeves and gloves overlap sufficiently in your riding position?
Modeka jackets are often slightly shorter at the front and longer at the back because they are designed for a seated riding position.
Motorcycle trousers should feel comfortable without pulling excessively or slipping.
Check the following in your riding position:
- Do the knee protectors remain correctly positioned over your knees?
- Do the trousers cut into your waist, hips or the backs of your knees?
- Can you move freely?
- Do the trouser legs sufficiently overlap the shafts of your motorcycle boots?
- Is there no exposed gap between the trousers and boots?
Always try on motorcycle trousers together with your motorcycle boots.
Layers, protectors & airbags
Depending on the model, our 3-in-1 products consist of an outer jacket or trousers, a removable waterproof membrane and a removable thermal liner.
If you ride in different temperatures and weather conditions, try on the product with all layers inserted. It must remain comfortable and provide sufficient freedom of movement when fully equipped.
If you mainly ride in warm and dry conditions, also check the fit without the thermal liner.
Protectors must reliably cover the intended areas of the body in your riding position. They must not move sideways or shift excessively upwards or downwards.
Knee and elbow protectors should be positioned over the respective joint. Use the available adjustment options to position them correctly.
For unusual body proportions, we can assess whether the position of certain protector pockets can be adjusted through our alteration and repair service.
If the jacket does not already include a back protector, allow sufficient space when choosing your size. A retrofitted back protector or separate protector vest requires additional room.
The protector should sit centrally on your back, cover the intended protection area and must not press against your neck or move excessively in your riding position.
Only use a back protector that is suitable for the jacket and available in the correct size.
As a rule of thumb, there is generally sufficient room for an airbag vest underneath the jacket if you can fit a clenched fist between your chest and the fully closed jacket.
The jacket must not restrict the deployment of the airbag. Always follow the space and fit requirements specified by the respective airbag manufacturer. Some systems are designed exclusively to be worn underneath or over the motorcycle jacket.
Short & long sizes
If you are noticeably shorter or taller than average, or if your arm and leg proportions differ from those of a regular size, a short or long size may provide a better fit.
Depending on the product, short sizes are approximately 5 cm shorter and long sizes approximately 5 cm longer than the corresponding regular size.
Our size charts provide an overview of the available sizes and body measurements.
