SHIMA PISTON MESH – LEATHER JACKET
Premium Leather-Mesh Hybrid for Maximum Ventilation & Protection

The SHIMA PISTON is a bold and dynamic leather motorcycle jacket built for summer sport-touring. Designed to make a statement on and off the bike, this jacket is a perfect blend of airflow, flexibility, and serious protection. Whether you’re cruising through city streets or heading out on weekend rides, the PISTON is your go-to for hot weather performance and style.

Constructed from a unique combination of A+ grade leather and large mesh panels, it offers exceptional ventilation while maintaining high abrasion resistance. CE-certified ArmorPlus protectors are included in the back, shoulders, and elbows for impact protection, while external shoulder sliders enhance safety and give the jacket a sporty edge. The optional SAS-TEC chest protector (sold separately) adds further peace of mind.

Thanks to its ergonomic 3D fit, leather stretch panels at the back and elbows, elastic fabric under the arms, and adjustable waist, the PISTON jacket ensures both comfort and mobility during every ride. Reinforced seams and DuoLayer Protection™—an added internal leather layer in key zones—ensure durability in all the right places.

Mesh Meets Leather – Summer Ready
Hot weather is no match for the SHIMA PISTON. The generous mesh panels across the chest, arms, and back keep you cool by allowing maximum airflow. This summer touring jacket offers the breathability of mesh with the resilience of premium leather for top-tier protection. With DuoLayer Protection™, a second leather layer is sewn beneath the outer shell in high-risk areas for added tear resistance and impact shielding.

Built to Protect
The PISTON jacket is designed to offer serious protection without compromising comfort. It features SHIMA’s ArmorPlus CE-certified impact protectors in the back, shoulders, and elbows. External shoulder sliders provide extra abrasion resistance in the event of a slide, while double-reinforced safety seams strengthen structural integrity. The optional chest protector upgrade allows you to tailor your level of protection to your riding style.

Sporty Comfort and Fit
Comfort matters—especially during long rides in summer heat. The PISTON’s ergonomic design includes stretch leather accordion panels on the elbows and back for a flexible yet snug fit. Stretch fabric under the arms and waist adjustments give you even more freedom of movement. The regular-fit design and sporty silhouette make the PISTON both eye-catching and functional, ideal for riders who demand performance with attitude.

Enhanced Functionality on the Road
The PISTON jacket doesn’t just look good—it’s built for everyday practicality. A dry pocket keeps your valuables safe, while reflective panels boost visibility during nighttime rides. The integrated EvoLink system lets you connect compatible SHIMA cooling or heating vests, letting you adapt to changing weather. Plus, two types of connecting zips allow seamless pairing with SHIMA trousers. This jacket is the ultimate summer-ready hybrid—lightweight, ventilated, and tough where it counts.
