The old adage "you get what you pay for" is a go-to here at the Hearst Autos Gear Team—and it's never as appropriate as when you're talking about motorcycle riding gear. It is, quite literally, designed to save your life. If it's stylish and comfortable too, great!

But Job No. 1 for riding gear is protection. And Dainese is one of the few motorcycle apparel companies that consistently ticks all three of those boxes. Toss in Dainese's legendary durability, and this is the kind of motorcycle jacket you'll wear for years to come (waistline permitting).

The Dainese Saint Louis is a classically styled, glossy leather riding jacket designed for the urban biker who wants protection while they're getting there, style when they arrive, and comfort all day long. It's a great-looking jacket that should appeal to riders of sport bikes, cruisers, cafe racers, and most every street bike in between.
