Motorcycle Riding Gear

The benefit of wearing protective gear when riding is obvious. It enhances riding comfort by reducing exposure to the elements, road debris, flying insects, and more. It also reduces the risk of injury.

How much riding gear to wear is a personal choice, but it is strongly recommended that you wear appropriate gear every time you ride, including a helmet that meets DOT requirements, a long-sleeve jacket or shirt, sturdy long pants or chaps, gloves, eye protection, and over-the-ankle boots.

In addition riders should also have rain gear or cold weather gear with them for that unexpected occasion.

Helmets

A good helmet provides more than vital protection in case of an accident. It also cuts fatigue by reducing wind noise and blast, lessening the impact of the elements, and deflecting bugs and road debris. Three different basic styles are available to meet individual rider preferences:

half helmets
three-quarter (open-face) helmets
full-face helmets

Before deciding which one you will wear, read about the steps you should take when fitting a helmet. Always buy helmets that meet DOT requirements, better still those which have meet the rigorous testing requirements of the Snell Memorial Foundation.

Jackets

A sturdy riding jacket protects your upper body and arms against perpetual road demands, whether it's wind, sun, bugs, or debris. Look for jackets with venting, removable liners, action backs, and more to enhance your ride. Always choose that boast quality leather or performance fabrics and offer special features for rider comfort and protection.

High quality jackets (thus a bit more expensive) are put through a tough battery of tests to make sure they hold up against whatever the road throws your way. Most jacket styles are available in extended sizes.

Pants

For comfort and protection in the saddle, long pants are a must. Avoid loose-fitting styles that flap in the wind. Steer clear of tight-fitting pants that restrict movement. Instead, choose comfortably fitting bottoms made from an abrasion-resistant material like leather or denim. For an extra layer of protection and warmth, add leather chaps over your jeans.

Gloves

Motorcycle gloves protect against wind, sun, rain, cold, pavement, and blisters while aiding your grip of the hand controls. Gloves should fit snugly, but comfortably.

Windproof and waterproof design keeps out the elements and ensures comfort in any weather condition. Ergonomic thumb construction delivers a more natural fit and great comfort and anti-slip grip keeps your hands where they need to be - even in the rain. Padded palm, fingers, and knuckles give extra cushion to absorb road vibrations.

Boots

Proper footwear protects your feet and ankles from hot exhaust pipes and debris that may fly up from the road. Over-the-ankle boots with sturdy heels and non-slip soles are preferred for riding. Shop for footwear that is designed to provide better traction on the pavement and to help keep your feet on the pegs. Count on durable materials for years of extended wear and slip-resistant and oil-resistant stitched soles for better traction. Plenty of styles are available meaning that there's a pair for every rider.

Rain Gear

A change in the weather doesn't have to mean a change in riding plans - not if you pack a reliable set of rain gear. There's plenty of choices available, choose one with smart rider features and that packs easily into your saddlebags. Components should include jackets, pants, gloves, and rain gaiters (waterproof "covers" that slip over your regular riding boots).

Special feature rain gear pants have textured rubber on the seat to prevent slipping in the saddle, as well as articulated knees that contour to your body's riding position for a more natural and comfortable fit. Look for durable, innovative, and high-tech materials to make it weather-resistant and comfortable, whatever the weather report.
