There is a huge difference between motorcycle clothing that is simply made smaller and motorcycle clothing that has actually been designed for women.
That difference is exactly why Linda-Jean exists.
Founded by Linda-Jean Belvedere, Linda-Jean Women’s Motorcycle Fashion was created from real riding experience, not guesswork. Linda started the business because she wanted to create something she would genuinely wear while riding a motorcycle.
Something protective, comfortable, flattering and stylish. Something that did not feel like a compromise.
For far too long, women’s motorcycle clothing has often felt like an afterthought. Too bulky. Too square. Too restrictive. Too pink for no reason. Or simply not designed around the way women actually sit, move and ride on a bike.
Linda-Jean is different. It is motorcycle fashion designed by a female rider, for female riders.
Designed For Women Who Actually Ride
Linda-Jean is built around a simple idea: women should not have to choose between safety and style.
The brand focuses on women’s motorcycle clothing that delivers proper protection, practical riding features and a feminine fit. These are pieces made for real-world motorcycling, whether that is commuting, touring, weekend riding, heading to a bike meet, or simply wanting motorcycle gear that feels good both on and off the bike.
At Veloce Club, that is exactly the kind of brand we love to support. Proper motorcycle kit, with a genuine story behind it.
Linda joined us at our Ladies Day to talk about the story behind her first jacket, the VEGA, and it was clear how much thought, testing and personal experience had gone into it. This was not a jacket designed from a spreadsheet. It was designed from the frustration of not being able to find the right thing, and then deciding to make it properly.
The VEGA Jacket: Linda-Jean’s First Women’s Motorcycle Jacket
The VEGA is the first jacket from Linda-Jean, and it says a lot about what the brand stands for.
It is a premium women’s motorcycle jacket with armour, designed specifically around the female riding position. It has the kind of protective specification you would expect from serious riding kit, but with a shape, silhouette and level of detail that makes it feel much more considered than a standard ladies motorcycle jacket.
The VEGA is CE Class AA certified and comes with Level 2 armour at the elbows, shoulders and back. That means proper protection is included as standard, including the back protector, which is not always the case with women’s motorcycle jackets.
It also features a waterproof, windproof and breathable Reissa membrane, making it a practical choice for UK riding. Because let’s be honest, “I’ll just go out when it’s dry” is a lovely idea until the weather changes halfway through your ride.
More Than Just A Protective Motorcycle Jacket
What makes the VEGA stand out is that it has been designed as more than just a protective outer layer.
It is a 3-in-1 women’s motorcycle jacket, meaning it can be worn as the full jacket, as the outer shell only, or with the inner jacket worn separately off the bike. That makes it far more versatile for different temperatures, different types of riding and different seasons.
There are also loads of genuinely useful rider details, including an extended back for coverage when seated on the bike, thumbholes to keep the sleeves in place, side air vents for airflow, an adjustable waist, side waist zips for comfort in the riding position, reflective detailing and plenty of storage.
It is this kind of detail that shows the VEGA has been designed by someone who understands what riders actually need.
Available At Veloce Club In Black And Burgundy
We currently have two versions of the Linda-Jean VEGA jacket available at Veloce Club:
Linda-Jean VEGA Jacket in Black
A classic, understated women’s motorcycle jacket with a sharp silhouette, proper CE AA protection and a timeless look that works with almost any riding style.
Linda-Jean VEGA Jacket in Burgundy
A beautiful alternative to black, the burgundy VEGA keeps the same protective specification and flattering fit, but with a richer, more distinctive finish.
Both versions are available in sizes XS to 4XL and have been designed to offer a more inclusive, realistic fit for women riders.
Why We Love Linda-Jean At Veloce Club
At Veloce Club, we are always looking for motorcycle clothing that feels considered, practical and different from the usual. Linda-Jean fits that perfectly.
This is a brand with a proper reason to exist. It was created because Linda wanted women’s motorcycle clothing that she would actually want to wear. Protective without being shapeless. Feminine without being flimsy. Stylish without sacrificing safety.
That is why the VEGA feels so refreshing. It is a ladies motorcycle jacket that looks good, fits properly, protects properly and works in the real world.
For female riders looking for a premium women’s motorcycle jacket with armour, CE AA certification, waterproof performance and a flattering fit, the Linda-Jean VEGA is absolutely worth a look.
