The gear you wear when riding a motorcycle can go a long way in keeping you safe and relaxed on your outings. So, pay attention to the quality, correct fit, and personal style when buying apparel for your trips. Don’t worry if you are unsure where to begin—we can help.
Red Rock Harley-Davidson® is your local motorcycle dealer in Nevada, and we have gathered a few tips to help you select the right gear for your outings. Read on to learn more, and for more information, contact our dealership today.
Outerwear
First, invest in good-quality outerwear for your motorcycle rides. Your clothes should be comfortable and help boost your visibility on the road.
Ideally, wear bright colors like orange or throw on a safety vest over your regular clothes. The reflective elements in these clothes and the bright neon orange color will ensure people can notice you from afar. This will boost your safety and the safety of other motorists on the road.
Gloves & Boots
You want to keep your hands warm and comfortable when riding a motorcycle. This will ensure you can efficiently control your bike regardless of whether you are on a long-distance trip or running errands around town.
It helps to invest in two pairs of riding gloves—a pair of leather gloves for extra protection for your fingers and a pair of waterproof and insulated models to keep your hands safe from harsh winds, intense heat, and biting cold conditions. You also want a pair of riding boots for your feet. Get a pair of closed-toed shoes and enjoy more time cruising around your favorite spots in town.
Eye Protection
You also want to invest in eye protection gear to protect your eyes from the elements, flying debris, dust, and more. Preferably, get a pair that offers polarization for shielding your eyes from UV damage.
Helmet
More importantly, you want to buy a DOT-approved helmet for your motorcycle rides. Full-face models are the safest because they protect your face and head. Make sure the helmet you choose fits your head correctly, or get a better-fitting model, instead.
