Style Or Safety?
We know that as riders, we take destiny into our own hands when we ride motorcycles. It should be the same with our safety.
Choosing motorcycle gear that works is just as important as selecting a motorcycle you love. High-quality motorcycle safety clothing can make the difference between waking up in the ER or walking away from a crash. While wearing protective gear isn’t mandatory by law, it’s a must by common sense. Is it tempting to just jump on your bike in your Levi’s and a T-Shirt on a hot summer day? You bet. Is it smart, though? Nope.
FabricThere are three key components you need to pay attention to when shopping for motorcycle gear. First is the fabric.
While leather is still more impact and abrasion-resistant when it comes to high speeds, textiles also offer impressive safety levels. However, you need to pay attention to the fabric of the textile. If you’re looking for a good-quality, safe motorcycle jacket, and pants, you’ll want Cordura, Kevlar, etc.

CE ProtectorsSecond, look what kind of armor is in your protective gear – and where. Ideally, you’ll want back, shoulder, and elbow armor in your jacket and hip and knee in your riding pants. However, make sure the armor is solid quality, just like the fabric, and always opt for CE-approved or CE-certified armor.
