So I'm sick and tired of all these bugs all over my jacket. It's a pain in the ass having to wipe it down all the time between washes so I wanted to hear what everyone does to keep their jackets clean. I have a textile jacket and I usually wipe it down with a rag and warm water. It works, kinda but there's gotta be an easier way. Any tricks or tips? Feel free to post up your tips for leather as well.

Don't ride fast or in rural areas and you'll keep it clean.
You can also ride in the rain.

Oh oh one wheel = less bugs.
wheelie ftw.

It's hard to find a good perforated one. A-star fits me will in a 46 but they only have vents (which are tiny) or none at all. Vanson has good perf'd jackets but there is not way in hell I'm droppin that much money on a fucken jacket.

I've just put mine in the wash with worm water and some Shout on the nasty parts.

Plus, I got a bit of white on my jacket so sometimes I have to bust out with some elbow grease and get at it.

Spray a coat or two of ScotchGard on your clean jacket. Once that stuff dries up, subsequent cleanings are easy as pie. All you need is a damp cloth to wipe it down with.
