Fly Racing Butane Motorcycle Jacket

The Fly Racing Butane Jacket is a 600D polyester textile jacket with CE-rated armor included as standard at the shoulders and elbows, plus a back pocket fitted with a foam pad rather than CE-rated protection. Stretch panels are built into key areas to keep the fit workable rather than stiff, and adjustable straps at the waist and sleeves allow the fit to be tailored over different layers. A removable thermal liner extends use into colder months, and YKK zippers at the waist allow connection to compatible Fly Racing riding pants for a more integrated setup. Multiple exterior and interior pockets round out the storage on offer for a phone, wallet or small tools.

The CE armor covers the shoulders and elbows reliably, and ventilation options genuinely help on warmer rides, though the overall cut runs bulkier than sport-oriented jackets built around a slimmer silhouette. The back pad, while present, is basic foam rather than CE-rated, so riders wanting full back coverage will need to fit an aftermarket protector. The thermal liner is on the thin side for genuinely cold conditions, and sizing has been reported as inconsistent between smaller and larger sizes, so checking a size chart carefully is worthwhile before ordering. Riders switching between a cold morning commute and a warmer afternoon ride will find the liner easy enough to remove mid-day without needing tools or extra time.

This jacket suits street riders and touring enthusiasts who want dependable CE armor and all-season versatility without paying premium prices, and the zip connection to compatible pants is a genuine bonus for riders building a matched riding suit. Riders wanting a slimmer sport cut, CE-rated back protection as standard, or a warmer liner for genuinely cold rides should look further up the range. For daily commuting and weekend adventures where budget and versatility matter most, the Butane covers the essentials competently. Its adjustable fit points also make it workable for riders layering base layers underneath during cooler months, extending its usefulness well beyond a single season, and it remains a dependable everyday choice.
