Riding a motorcycle can be an enjoyable experience, but it can also be dangerous. That’s why it's important to wear proper gear while riding. Motorcycle gear serves to protect the rider in case of an accident and also makes riding more comfortable. Here are some tips for choosing the right motorcycle gear.
Helmet: A helmet is the most important piece of gear for a motorcyclist. It should fit snugly and be DOT (Department of Transportation) or Snell certified. Full-face helmets offer the most protection and are recommended, but there are also modular and open-face options.
Protective Clothing: Leather or specialized riding jackets and pants with reinforced armor provide protection in case of an accident. Look for clothing with CE (European Conformity) rated armor and avoid wearing loose clothing that could get caught in the motorcycle.
Gloves: Gloves protect your hands from the elements and provide extra grip on the handlebars. Look for gloves with reinforced knuckles and fingers.
