Motorcycle Protective Clothing
Introduction
When it comes to protective gear for motorcyclists, not everything on the market is genuinely safe, despite claims. In Europe, apparel must pass rigorous tests, including abrasion, tearing, and impact assessments, to earn CR certification. In the US, these standards aren't mandatory, so riders should consider the following tips to choose effective motorcycle protective clothing.
Essential Gear
1. Boots and Pants: Opt for sturdy, high boots made of thick leather with flexible soles. Your pants should have reinforcements at the knees and hips for added protection.
2. Jackets: Traditional leather gear is excellent, but thick nylon or synthetic materials work well too. If wearing jeans, choose Kevlar ones for better abrasion resistance. Jackets should have reinforced elbows and shoulders. Impact protection features are a bonus.
3. Gloves: Essential for protecting your palms during falls, gloves should have reinforced patches. Knitted Kevlar or reinforced leather are recommended options.
4. Impact Protection Gear: Consider clothing with built-in impact protection, or wear separate protection gear. This ensures a degree of safety whenever you're riding.
5. Helmet: A critical piece of gear, your helmet should always be worn. Ensure it is DOT certified and fits snugly for optimal protection.
Minimum Protective Requirements
- Helmet: Must be DOT certified and fit your head snugly for safety.
- Eye Protection: Use a full-face shield, three-quarter helmet, goggles, or close-fitting glasses for eye safety.
- Gloves: Protect your hands from bruises during falls by wearing durable gloves.
- Jacket: Offers protection against the elements and provides some impact absorption.
- Long Trousers: Safeguard your legs from insects, debris, and provide some impact protection.
- Above-the-Ankle Footwear: Cushions your feet during falls and protects against stinging insects.
In summary, always equip yourself with quality protective clothing to enhance your safety on the road. Prioritizing these elements can significantly reduce the risks associated with motorcycling.
