Most have full‑length front zippers for closure. Many include side hand pockets, and some styles add zippered chest pockets or inner pockets for small items.
Leather racing jackets typically use casual or men's moto fits and are usually hip‑length. Team‑style jackets generally come in regular or athletic fits and often sit at the waist.
Many team jackets use multi‑layer or specialized fabrics with taped seams and splash‑proof zippers, and are described as windproof and breathable. Some rain jackets list a waterproof rating (for example, a 10,000 mm water column) and include adjustable hoods or storm hems for added protection.
Weights range from heavyweight for leather jackets to midweight for insulated or quilted team jackets, and lightweight or ultralight for some rain or packable styles. One item notes “Ultralight: Less than 450 grams.”
Some team jackets feature insulated or quilted bodies and padded sections (for example, quilted micro‑ripstop bodies, insulated micro‑ripstop, or padded sleeves), while other styles focus on water‑repellency and are lighter, trans‑seasonal pieces.
