Motorcycle clothing for men
When we talk about bikes, the clothing comes from the design and fashion and enters fully into the security chapter.
Besides ensuring who drives a comfortable and proper use of their messenger, ensures maximum protection in case of accident.
General advice
Important: it is good that the passenger is wearing an appropriate technical clothing because the maximum security is a right and duty of both the driver, but also of those who do carry. Among the official brand of specialist clothing for motorcyclists, we can cite Danish, Alpinestar, Ducati, Givi, Spidi, Nolan and Arlen Ness.
With regard to prices, usually they tend to rise if you prefer a leader in leather. The leaders are generally more expensive jackets er coveralls, as prices become much more reasonable in the case of gloves and boots. All these leaders are of course also available in women: usually they are just more shaped and smaller sizes, difficult to meet in a different color models to man.
Jackets
It is important to always wear a proper biker jacket when you are driving a motorcycle, especially against the wind, air, and anything else that might hit us and make us lose control of the bike, such as birds, insects, gravel and gravel that might be raised from the road surface, and any type of object that could lose any vehicle ahead.
The model: there is not much variety, but for security reasons, motorcycle jackets are more or less all met the same way. They have no collar or hood and usually have a short cut, to allow to sit comfortably and smoothly. Plus I’m close to the body, so that there are parties free to fly around, distracting from driving. They are made either in leather or cordura, and in a special tissue called d-dry. In winter it is better to prefer the skin, it allows greater insulation against the cold even though the models Cordura or d-dry often, inside, padded detachable, in summer, however, the skin may be too hot, despite the special vents that are present in more strategic positions.
* In case of rain jackets latest offer excellent protection from water, and because the outside is sealed, either because the internal membranes are made of waterproof material. Obviously, the insulating power of a jacket depends on the amount and duration of the water that goes to hit him, because usually, the wheel of a bike was completely exposed to the vagaries of weather. In these cases, the skin was significantly higher than the capacity waterproof Cordura.
* In case of fall: in this case the skin provides better protection because it has a higher resistance in general and in particular to friction with the road surface, repairing the burns that might cause. Adding up all the positive characteristics of the skin, we can say that it is without doubt the best choice, despite the heat that you may suffer in warmer months. In addition, they are available in many colors and are more easily customizable. The cordura jacket, however, comes at a price much lower than the models in leather, up to half the price, much cheaper is in the D-dry. But security is priceless.
The rigid protection: When you buy a jacket is important to make sure it is equipped with the appropriate disposition to enter inside the protection for the shoulders to the elbows and the so-called ’shell’ that protects the spine. Be careful, because not all jackets are equipped with it.
Practical advice. On warm days you can sweat jacket with the course, especially in models with leather. In these cases, should be worn under something that is at least a half-sleeves, to avoid having to change any tour jacket, and for compliance with the most basic hygienic standards. You should also know that you can wash cordura jackets at home, while those in the skin, as well as all other clothing in this material should be taken strictly at the dry cleaners. In both cases, remember to detach the rigid protection.
Gloves
Specific motorcycle gloves are essential, first of all to have the best grip on the handles, as at the bottom are always provides an important layer rough. For this reason it is good that they are fully participating in their hands, so as to maximize the sensitivity on handles: this will allow the driver to speed up and slow down as more correct. This aspect is especially useful in cases of emergency where you have to brake so suddenly: an excess of material could be a serious (and dangerous!) Barrier.
Function: As with the jacket, gloves also have the function of repairing their hands from the air: because of the particular driving position, in fact, the driver is particularly exposed to wind and also from any gravel or crushed stone that could be raise the road surface. But even those who carried it needs a good pair of gloves because even after the air arrives at great speed, but mainly because he has to shake the firmest possible to support the handles that are located in the back of some motorcycle.
Materials: many different tissues are used to achieve them, such as the skin, and goretex neoprene. And there are also seasonal patterns for the summer and winter. Regardless of the model selected they must be equipped with the explicit safeguards to protect carbon fiber knuckles, so that your hands are protected in case of eventual downfall. In the case of gloves guards are fixed and can not remove them. In the case of winter models, however, are not always under the strict protections because, combined with padding his already rather voluminous, could affect the sensitivity of the hands. Just like life jackets, even this case the skin is the material of choice, as much more reliable and durable especially in case of impact or possible fall. In addition it is much more resistant against wear. Unlike other article of clothing, gloves if there is not much difference in price between the skin and other materials.
Tracksuits
Indeed, of all the clothing specific to motorcyclists the suit is certainly the most niche, able to give the wearer the look of a professional rider. But anyone facing a long trip on a motorcycle and he wears one was immediately made aware of its comfort and ergonomics: it has a structure that make it ideal for both driver and passenger as it extends all the positive features of the vest to the body.
It should however be taken into consideration the fact that the suit is a very athletic leader, born to those who make motorcycling his profession and also key to running around the track, while difficult to become part of a simple clothing enthusiast. But in any case if you decide to have a suit, especially in colder seasons or more subject to weather, you come to appreciate the great insulation provided by this chapter, especially in the back and general lower back, especially against the pressure of the air, which is able to infiltrate a bit ‘all over the drops of rain.
Here are the main pros and cons of all Motorcycle:
Pro: they are made exclusively in the skin, therefore suitable for long trips or for the winter. Are already equipped with all the necessary safeguards to protect your back rigid, shoulders, elbows and knees. Leave uncovered only the hands, which will be protected with appropriate gloves.
Cons: the only real weak point in this garment technician is, unfortunately, the price, which is usually very high because it is a leader in leather. Moreover, when not being used in motion can be particularly uncomfortable, since the top will remain hanging, hampering movement.
Rigid protection and boots
Already nominated several times in the previous sections, the rigid protection are key leaders in technical clothing, hoping, in any case, he would never have to test their resistance.
Things are basically reinforcements are made of carbon plastic and placed in the most sensitive in the event of any impact or fall, such as back, shoulders, elbows, knees and knuckles. Some names also have a little ‘curious, which originates from their shape, such as’ shell’ that protects the back or ’soaps’ that serve to protect the knees.
Use of this thus it is important to verify that the garment you are buying is already equipped with these important protections, or that it is prepared to put them at a later time, all the protections, in fact, can also be sold separately and can be replaced if damaged or simply wear out even with the passage of time.
Boots
Who uses the bike so called ‘normal’ is not necessarily led to buy the appropriate motorcycle boots, it takes too comfortable shoes with rubber soles so they will not slip and allow you to change gears without hindrance.
Professionals or those who decide to embark on a long journey in motion, however, perhaps along mountain roads, should acquire the shoes specially designed and made of rubber and leather. Body the ankle, usually arrive until mid-calf, well ventilated for maximum ventilation of the foot and especially with strict protections in tip and ankle, as well as reinforcements at the top of the left foot, the one in contact with the pedal gear. While I am absolutely prohibited leather soles and heels.
Waxed
When the rain catches us by surprise, in both summer and winter, the first thing to do is first to slow down and avoid braking suddenly, just as is done even in the car. It is also important not to overly stiffen and keep in mind that, despite the body sends different sensations, is not so easy that a motorcycle fall. Above the passenger must keep in mind these considerations and to avoid agitation, threatening to unbalance his weight and putting in difficulty who are driving.
For these reasons, the wax can be considered an element belonging to the realm of security as an affordable solution to protect you as effectively as the water … and as stated previously, a comfortable driver is a driver who can focus only exclusively on the control of the vehicle without having to worry about other things, especially when the weather turns hostile and the weather becomes a disturbing element.
Since moving is completely exposed to pouring rain, in all cases most likely will have the sensation of being in a real downpour, so you better be prepared to tackle this situation. This also applies to the passenger, who gets wet even though it is exactly what the driver seated behind, and if perhaps receives less water than before, it will be completely soaked in the back because of the water mill that is created by the motion of the rear wheel.
A leader must: water is the most annoying and most treacherous of weather we might encounter in a way, for his tendency to slip everywhere. Making its way through tissue, locks, hinges, etc.. No jacket will continue to protect it from the water after a long exposure to rain, only the tarpaulin is able to ensure long term protection as made of plastic and then 100% waterproof. Before leaving on a long journey, then, we must never forget to have also waxed.
What it is: essentially a k-way for motorcyclists with ends closed by elastic bands to provide maximum protection from water. Exists in the form of jacket or as pants for the lower part of the body. And since we do not always able to quickly find a shelter, it must also be quick and easy to wear, so you better buy one with zip.
Practical advice: if you have not yet bought a tarpaulin to do business and the journey is not too long, in any case, remember to bring along at least a k-way. And if the rain were to seize suddenly caught unprepared and especially without the appropriate clothing, the mother of invention and try to improvise the protections of luck, such as using plastic bags and tape to cover at least the legs and feet.
