Jacket And Gloves For Motorcycle Riders

Why is it that many people think that riding a motorcycle is more dangerous than driving a car? I think it is because people feel safe surrounded by the body of the car. A rider on a motorcycle has no car body to cover him and if there is a crash, he gets the full impact. Whether we are driving a car or riding a motorcycle, it is our responsibility to drive or ride safely.

For motorcycle riders, knowing that they do not have the car body to protect them, they need proper riding attire for their safety and protection from injury. There is a large selection of riding gear and apparel for the motorcyclist to choose from. When choosing rider’s gear and apparel, safety and protection features should be top on the list.

Jackets: A motorcycle rider should wear a jacket at all time, regardless of the weather. Generally, an all-purpose jacket may be sufficient for street riding on normal days or nights. A jacket protects the rider from the hot sun or the cold wind and/or the rain. Jackets are usually made from leather or textile. Leather jackets are warmer and heavier, textile jackets are lighter and more ventilated.

Gloves: Motorcyclists should wear riding gloves while riding on their bike. Gloves help keep their hands protected from cuts and bruises if there is a fall. Gloves also keep the hands comfortable when the wear is cold or too hot. Gloves shouldn’t be too loose but fitting snugly to improve the grip on the handlebars. Do not go for gloves that are loose, which will prevent a good grip and do not wear overly tight gloves which may restrict blood circulation. Preferably, choose gloves that are seamless or with external seams to prevent blisters and pressure points.

Leather jackets and gloves are often used by riders because it is durable, abrasion resistant and protect against injury. They are also wind resistant and waterproof. Wearing good quality, proper riding attire gives the rider more protection and also to stay comfortable when too hot or too cold.
