Motorcycle Jackets
These are must have apparel for riding. Safety in the main reason, the law is another, and looking cool just goes with the territory. Motorcycle jackets are made from leather or heavy duty man made fabrics that resist water, are tough as nails, some have impact padding, and many make use of several materials for improved performance look and feel. Jackets help protect your upper body from damage.
Motorcycle Gloves
Are a critical piece of gear any rider or passenger should not be without.
Gloves are more critical than folks give credit. Think about it, the first thing you do in an accident is to put your arms out - put your hands out to fend off a landing or impact. Better cover those hands with some leather.

There are short boots, long boots, boots with ventilation, tie up, strap up, velcro, buckles, pads, protective armor, safety thickness materials - the list of options in boots goes on and on. Motorcycle and trike forums are great places to research what other riders have used and how they like or dislike a particular style boot. |
