Motorcycle Protective Clothing That Works!
By : Nastopo Darmawan
There is some great looking motorcycle clothing on the market these days, but believe me not all of the motorcycle clothing offers as much protection as you think. In Europe, for motorcycle clothing to be lawfully sold as “safety” clothing, it has to pass a series of European standards, which are pretty lengthy but are available on my website.
Your legs and feet are extremely vulnerable, so make sure that you wear a decent pair of high boots and some protective pants. Traditional material for motorcycle clothing is leather, but thick nylon and other synthetic materials work well too. Kevlar reinforced jeans are better than normal jeans .Normal jeans last 0.6 seconds in the European standard abrasion test, while protective motorcycle pants will last 5 seconds or more.
Same principles apply to jackets. Make sure they are hardwearing, if they are leather make sure it is thick leather not fashion leather like some jackets. Stitching should be uniform with no dropped stitches, and all your “sharp bits”, your elbows and shoulders should be reinforced, ideally with some impact protection included.
Reasons to Own an All Weather Motorcycle Jacket
There are some great reasons for you to own an all weather motorcycle jacket. In fact, you may want to purchase a motorcycle jacket even if you don’t have a motorcycle! Generally speaking, motorcycle cold weather clothing provides great protection from the elements. The motorcycle jacket gives excellent protection from cold weather and windy conditions.
Of course, the practical use of all weather motorcycle jackets is really just a beginning. These motorcycle jackets look great, and many people like the style even if they don’t plan to own a motorcycle. A motorcycle jacket can make you feel youthful and adventurous even if you don’t climb onto a Harley Davidson.
I’m sure you’ll find the right occasion to make use of your all weather motorcycle jacket.
