Choosing Correct Riding Gear

When we talking about motorcycle gloves, the first image that flashes before us is the half finger or fingerless bike gloves you would get at sports shop on the corner. But this is the worst thing you can buy as motorcycle gloves.  Let’s have a look at what you should look for while buying Motorcycle Gloves.

What is a riding jacket?

Motorcycle jackets do NOT mean biker style jackets that just look like riding jackets but do not have any protection.

Most riding jackets made for motorcyclists have armour on the elbow and shoulder areas and foam padding or armour at the back. This armour helps to protect the body from impact by providing cushioning on the areas that are most likely to sustain impact during a crash.>

These armour, C.E.Rated 1 or Rated 2 (or other standards) absorb most of the impact. The textile / mesh or leather used in these jackets is thick and abrasion resistant. So even when you slide, the textile won’t easily tear off.

Adjusters at elbow, waist etc. would keep the jacket in place so injury is minimized. In typical Indian (hot) weather, mesh jackets provide ample ventilation
