When getting on a motorcycle people put their leather jacket on, their leather gloves. These things aren't just to look cool while riding, they actually act as safety gear. The clothes that motorcyclist wear are the only thing between them and the road, so it needs to be able to protect them in the event of an accident.
A motorcyclist's jacket is very important. Jackets that will offer the most protection will be made out of leather, Kevlar, or nylon and will be well put together. Some jackets made out of nylon or Kevlar should have reflective strips on it. You will know it's a good jacket by looking at the seams of the elbows and shoulders, the stitching on these seams should be strong and reinforced. A good jacket will also have extra padding in the elbows, shoulders and spine. This will offer you extra cushioning in the event that you are in a wreck. When ordering your jacket be sure to try it on and make sure that all the padding fits well and you can move in it. It is also a good idea to sit on your bike while trying on jackets since you will be in a different upper body position than when standing or on different bikes. Protecting your legs can also be important. You can order a two piece suit that will help protect your upper and lower body. These suits offer great protection in the event of a fall.
Motorcycle Boots
When it comes to your hands, don't forget that they need protection too. There are different types of gloves for winter and summer. Both types of gloves have protection for your knuckles in case of a fall. There are a couple things to look out for when trying on gloves. You will want to make sure that there is a proper amount of protection without a lot of padding in the palms. Too much padding on the palm side of a glove may make it hard for you to feel and use the controls. You will also want to take a good look at the seams. If you have a pair of gloves with seams that are off, you will probably end up hurting because of the way they rub on your hands. High quality gloves will normally have gauntlets that will go over your jacket so you don't get wind up your sleeves. Of course, if you would like to personalize your gloves you can always do that. You can change the colors of your gloves or ad some reflective patches and colors. The more vibrant and reflective you are, the easier it will be for cars to see you. You may also look at a good pair of boots that will be able to protect your ankle but won't be uncomfortable to ride in.
You will also want to invest in a good helmet since in some states it's against the law if you ride without one. Plus, a helmet protects one of the most important parts of your body if you are ever in an accident. Motorcycle insurance may also be a good idea so if you do get in a wreck, which I hope you don't, you will be insured. Now you can ride safe knowing that you have the proper riding gear and insurance.
