Choose the right apparel for hot or cold weather, rainy season and night riding. Doing so makes riding a lot safer and a highly-enjoyable experience.

RAINY DAY WEAR 

 

Rain Wear

Attire of waterproof material property is priority. Choose one that does not get wet easily by checking the seams and seals. Visibility is usually poor on rainy days - so choose a color that easily stands out.

Gloves and boots cover

Fingers and toes may become numb after prolonged exposure in the cold and rain. It becomes more difficult for cold hands and feet to perform riding operations efficiently. Gloves and boots cover with high waterproof property are necessities. Choose the ones with heat-retaining qualities that do not hamper operations.

Gloves

A pair that is made of leather is best for grip quality. Choose one that does not restrict hand movement. Consider permeability during hot months; and waterproof quality for the wet months.

Helmet

Use helmets with safety ratings. Choose one that is not too loose or too tight. It must snug neatly to the jaw. Moreover, always check for scratches or hairline cracks on the shield as this diffuses reflection and hinder visibility. Refrain from using dark-colored shield at night.

Pants

Long jeans and leather trousers made with durable tailoring are ideal. Short pants and skirts are totally unsafe.

Shoes

Choose the pair that hides the ankle. It is also advisable to use the ones with padding in the ankle and areas of the gear shift / brake pedals.

Jacket

When choosing a long-sleeved top, ensure that:

* It does not hinder handle bar control.

* Its color stands-out and is visible to other drivers and road users.

* It has high protective qualities.

* It has high permeability for protection against cold and hot weather conditions.

* It has protective pad in critical points such as shoulders and elbows.

* It has reflectors for visibility at night.
