Argon: Safety and style at a nice price
For warm-weather riding, these perforated leather jackets from Argon deliver comfort, protection and a razor-sharp look, at a price you can affordRiding in the heat of an Aussie summer brings its own challenges, but that’s exactly where these five perforated leather riding jackets from Argon can help.
Argon is a relatively new name here in Australia but it’s making big in-roads in the motorcycle apparel market. The brand is taking on the big-ticket rivals with a range of gear that has the look riders want, with the comfort, safety and protection they need, and all at a price that won’t break the budget.
With a quality construction and packed with features, there’s an Argon leather riding jacket for every occasion, with styles to suit street, cruiser or sports riders, and dedicated women’s jackets too.
The jackets below are just a selection from the wider Argon range and feature perforated leather to maximise airflow and keep you comfortable on hotter days. Other features span a polyester mesh lining, a removable quilted liner for cooler days, and a 100% waterproof pocket in both the jacket itself and the liner.
Need to complete the picture? Argon also has a range of riding gloves and boots, among other items – there are even Kevlar-lined Argon flannos and fleeces!
These Argon jackets are available now from leading motorcycle dealers and accessory retailers. Visit www.argonmoto.com for more information.
1. Descent perforated jacket
Built for speed and performance and with perforated leather for maximum airflow, the Descent jacket includes Argon Advance Technology for superior fit and function. This means stretch fabric is used through the key movement areas of the arms, chest and torso to allow comfort in an upright or more aggressive riding position. In short, the jacket won’t hinder your movement or performance but will provide an outstanding fit, with comfort further enhanced by the use of neoprene at the collar and cuffs. It’s made with tear-resistant leather cow hide and features reflective piping, a back protector and CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors.

2. Fusion hybrid jacket
A hybrid of a leather and textile jacket, the Argon Fusion is built for flexibility, comfort and control.

A neoprene collar and cuffs ward off chafing, while stretch fabric is used in the sleeves for additional comfort. Like the Descent, the Fusion utilises Argon Advance Technology in the arms, chest and torso for a comfortable fit no matter the riding position. Reflective piping, a back protector and CE Level 2 shoulder and elbow protectors further enhance visibility and safety.
