This page lists summer/ventilated motorcycle jackets (or those described as such by the manufacturer) that meet the maximum EN 17092 standard: AAA.

I’ve included various indications to help you make your choice: place of manufacture when known, waterproofness, advertised type…

I’ve included the Motoblouz/Dafy/Fcmoto link when the product was available at the time of writing.

(Important note: I don’t get a penny from purchases made on these sites, the links are there for information only! If you liked the article, you can buy me a coffee by following the link at the top of the article :) )

Note: I’ve written a companion article here: Inventory of the most beathable AA motorcycle jackets under 200 euros, in June 2023. It’s aimed at those who are primarily looking for the freshness provided by the large mesh panels, at the expense of a little safety (AA instead of AAA). I’ve limited the search to models costing less than 200 euros, because above that, you might as well go for AAA.

Explanation of the EN 17092:20xx standard

European standard EN 17092 requires motorcycle jackets and pants to display a precise measure of their level of protection on the label, in the form of a label like this one:

An explanation on the Dainese “Demonerosso” site here: how motorcycle jacket and trouser certifications work.

Another on the VQuattro website here: CE STANDARDS FOR MOTORCYCLE JACKETS

Essentially, the body is divided into 3 zones, which must withstand different abrasion, tear and seam burst tests depending on their exposure.

Abrasion is not the only criterion, but it gives a good idea of the differences between A, AA and AAA levels:
The fabric sample is subjected to a simulated drop at a given speed, with friction until immobilized; it must not have a hole larger than 5 mm to be certified.
Drop speeds by level:

• AAA :
  • Zone 1: Fall at 120 km/h
  • Zone 2: 75 km/h drop
  • Zone 3: 45 km/h drop
• AA :
  • Zone 1: Fall at 70 km/h
  • Zone 2: Fall at 45 km/h
  • Zone 3: Fall at 25 km/h
• A :
  • Zone 1: Fall at 45 km/h
  • Zone 2: Drop at 25 km/h
  • Zone 3: Not tested

(Keep in mind: The surface on which the tests are carried out is cement, which is much less abrasive than the asphalt on our roads.)

The other 2 levels, B and C, are of little interest: B is an A without shells, and C offers very little protection indeed.

Complement :

1. Leather VS NASA fibers?
   The EN 17092 standard ensures that a garment exceeds a given resistance threshold for specific types of aggression. There’s no way of knowing whether the garment just exceeds it or exceeds it by a wide margin.
   For the same level of certification, the various comparisons always seem to put leather first, followed by multi-layer technical fabrics and then single-layer technical fabrics.
   Some sources:
   Arguments about multi-layer and single-layer pants here (advrider), here (advrider), here (Hood Jeans).
   There’s a very interesting video interview with Chris Hurren, one of the researchers behind the Australian site Motocap, which carries out independent tests using criteria fairly close to the old EN 13595 standard.

2. What about the old EN 13595 standard from 2002, or the French variant from 2012?
   Several commentators have pointed out that these 2 old standards were more demanding than EN 17092 level AAA, right from level 1. On the other hand, they were neither mandatory nor (apparently) strictly enforced. In the meantime, we now have EN 17092, so we might as well make the most of it!

3. Are there any other types of assessment?
   The Australian organization Motocap (made up of associations, academics, public and private players) carries out its own clothing tests on different principles: Their abrasion tests, for example, are more demanding because Australian and New Zealand coatings are more abrasive than asphalt (“chip-seal”). They also carry out a “breathability” (moisture evacuation) test, which makes sense in the heat of Australia, and will be useful for those who live in the tropics or are looking for a jacket for scorching summers. Unfortunately, few of the jackets on this list have been tested there yet:
   I only found the SABRE CE from RST here (remember to open the pdf “test report>technical report” for the detailed review).
