Motorcycle Gear FAQs
How often should I replace my motorcycle helmet?
The lifespan of a motorcycle helmet substantially depends on its usage and care. However, as a general rule, it is recommended to replace your helmet every five years from the date of manufacture, as suggested by helmet manufacturers and the Safety Helmet Council. Even if the helmet appears to be in good condition, the interior padding and materials may degrade over time, compromising its ability to provide optimal protection. Remember, safety should always be your paramount concern when riding.
What features should I consider when selecting motorcycle jackets?
When selecting a motorcycle jacket, there are several key features to consider. Firstly, the material: leather provides excellent abrasion resistance in the event of an accident, whilst textile materials offer better flexibility and weather resistance. Secondly, look for jackets with CE-certified armour on areas prone to impact, such as elbows and shoulders. Thirdly, consider a jacket with a removable lining for better adaptability to changing weather conditions. Lastly, ensure the jacket fits well, providing comfort without restricting movement, and factor in room for an under-layer if needed. Always try a jacket on before purchasing, and consult the manufacturer's sizing guide for accuracy.
How do I choose the right size for motorcycle gear?
Choosing the right size for motorcycle gear involves several steps. Firstly, measure your body dimensions accurately, focusing on key areas such as chest, waist, inseam, and hand size (excluding the thumb) for gloves, and foot length and calf circumference for boots and knee guards. Once you have these measurements, consult the manufacturer's sizing guide, as sizes vary across different brands. Motorcycle gear should fit snugly but not restrict your range of motion. Trying the gear on before purchasing is advisable, particularly for jackets, as you'll want to ensure comfort and factor in room for under-layers if necessary. Remember, the right fit is crucial not just for comfort but also for optimal protection.
What type of motorcycle gear is essential for riders?
For riders, certain pieces of motorcycle gear are absolutely essential for ensuring both safety and comfort while on the road. A certified helmet is paramount, protecting your head from potential injury. A durable jacket and trousers, ideally made of leather or high-abrasion-resistant textile, offer protection to your body, especially in areas prone to impact. Motorcycle gloves shield your hands and provide a better grip, enhancing control. Boots designed specifically for riding offer protection to your feet and ankles. Finally, protective gear such as knee and elbow pads or guards, and a back protector, further enhance your safety. Remember, investing in quality gear is a crucial aspect of responsible motorcycle riding.
