This Motorcycle Season, Look Good and Stay Safe with Proper Motorcycle Gear
When it comes to choosing motorcycle apparel, what’s more important, looking good or staying safe? The answer, it seems, depends on who you’re asking. Some riders always choose safety over style while others think carefree good looks take priority. If you’re struggling with the question, you can stop right now because this season’s motorcycle gear is designed with both safety and good looks in mind.
With signs of spring bursting out all over, motorcycle enthusiasts are getting ready to get on the road again. They’re changing oil, polishing chrome and taking inventory of their motorcycle gear. One thing they won’t be doing this season though, is sacrificing safety, good looks or comfort thanks to motorcycle apparel designers like ICON, Joe Rocket gear and Alpinestars apparel.
When it comes to motorcycle helmets, motorcycle jackets, motorcycle boots and motorcycle protective gear, these suppliers definitely have a grasp of what riders want. Let’s take a closer look at motorcycle gear to see how it can help you stay safe.
Motorcycle helmets
If you think motorcycle helmets are hot and uncomfortable, you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you see what’s available this season. The newest ICON helmets look great, feel great and offer lots of built-in safety features. The ICON Alliance SSR Speedfreak is a perfect example. The injection molded Polycarbonate/ABS shell protects your head while the twin channel supervent keeps you cool. The fog-free, anti-scratch shield enhances visibility and the Hydra Dry liner is removable and washable. And best of all, this motorcycle helmet comes in 7 different colors so it’s easy to match your motorcycle helmet to your motorcycle gear!
Or how about the new ICON Airframe Death or Glory Helmet? It’s been described as “air conditioning for your head” and it’s no wonder. Stylish and comfortable just as you’d expect from ICON, this helmet takes ventilation to levels never before experienced. Whether traveling at fast speeds or slow, the large front 20 mm intake ports initiate the flow of cool air and direct it into 9 separate air channels. Warm air exits through 35 mm exhaust ports and secondary chinbar breath exhaust ports. Plus this ingenious ventilation system is fully customizable via an easily manipulated switch on top of the helmet.
Motorcycle jackets
When considering motorcycle jackets, choosing something that’s black and leather takes care of the looking good factor. But staying safe requires more. Built-in flexible or rigid armor protects fragile body parts including elbows, shoulders and depending on the jacket, even the spine. Reflective patches, piping and stitching on motorcycle jackets increase nighttime visibility without sacrificing style. And a cinched waist, snug (but not restrictive) collar, and a tight fit on wrists keep wind from sneaking inside.
The new MotoGP 110 Leather Jacket by ALPINESTARS is all this and more. Removable Bio Armor shoulder and elbow protection is CE certified. Pre-curved sleeves, leather flex zones in the waist, and stretch Kelvar® fabric panels enhance riding comfort. YKK zippers and printed, patched and embroidered logos round out this stylish motorcycle jacket that’s available with blue and white or red and white accents.
For a lighter look and feel, plus all the features you rely on to stay safe on impact, check out the new Joe Rocket Suzuki Replica Mesh Jacket. It boasts superior C.E. rated shoulder and forearm protection, breathable High Tensity mesh fabric and a Hitena Nylon shell with removable windproof liner, reflective stripes, and an adjustable waistband to ensure a perfect fit. You’ll look cool and feel cool in this official licensed Yamaha jacket that’s available in your choice of silver, blue or red.
Motorcycle boots
Bulky black motorcycle boots do a lot more than complete the image of a serious motorcycle rider. They protect feet, ankles, shins, and calves against burns, abrasions and impacts. In fact, you can find motorcycle boots in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors. At one end of the spectrum is the new Joe Rocket Pro Street Boot. Black and ankle-high, this leather motorcycle boot offers a padded ankle area, adjustable ankle strap with aluminum buckle, Free-Air perforated ventilation for comfort, and injection molded plastic reinforcements.
At the other end of the motorcycle boots spectrum is the calf-high ALPINESTARS high performance SMX Plus Racing Boot. Breathable lining keeps feet cool while contoured high modulus PU injection plates protect shins, shock absorbent padding protects ankles, and u-shaped calf protector keeps both internal and external calf and ankle areas safe. The motorcycle boot’s external design is not only stylish, it protects against abrasion and impact. But that’s not all. This new motorcycle boot also comes in red, white, and black with blue accents.
And when looking good is your only goal, that’s easily accomplished with the Sonic Boot by Joe Rocket. Sleek, black and leather, this boot will keep you looking stylish without compromising safety or comfort. Padded ankles and molded plastic protect against impact while waterproof and breathable construction and reinforced gear shift area guarantee years of wear – and overall satisfaction!
As you can see, today’s motorcycle gear is definitely new and improved. No doubt you can wear anything you want when riding and plenty of people do just that. Take a look around and you’ll see riders wearing sportswear, designer t-shirts, and even trendy shoes. But serious riders know it’s not wise to sacrifice safety for style. And they know that choosing one over the other is no longer necessary.
