Protective Gear for Motorcyclists

November 02, 2015
Share:

protective motorcycle gearMotorcycling can be a great way to get around, especially in crowded cities where parking space is limited. Motorcycles have the advantage of being smaller vehicles with good gas mileage, making them ideal for commuting around the city or for road trips. However, motorcycles have their own set of risks, and riders should always take care to wear the proper protective gear. Without the appropriate gear, even a relatively minor crash could lead to serious injuries.

Choosing Your Gear

To fully protect yourself from abrasions and severe injuries in case of an accident, it is important to wear protective gear head to toe. The key equipment that every motorcyclist should have includes:

  • Helmet
  • Jacket
  • Pants
  • Gloves
  • Boots

These items should be designed specifically for motorcyclists and should be made out of a durable material, such as nylon, leather, or Kevlar. These materials are much stronger than jeans or other fabrics that would easily shred upon impact with the ground.

While it may seem like a lot of work to suit up before every ride, your gear is designed to protect you from scrapes and abrasions and will help to cushion your fall if you have an accident. Choosing quality gear and wearing it regularly when you ride could mean the difference between life and death.
