Tips to Buying Motorcycle Protective Clothing




The sheer variety of Motorcycle clothing can be little overwhelming at times. This is especially true when considering the choices of material, quality and brands available in the market. Here are some things you should know before you make your decision.

Get suited and booted

Make sure you get the full set of motorcycle clothing which includes helmet, jacket, boots, pants, gloves and glasses. A complete set gives you complete protection. Why would you want to risk any parts of your body with injuries? Each piece of the clothing plays an important role in protecting the specific parts of the body.

Stay safe, Stay seen

Aesthetics should always be secondary to protective quality. If you have to choose between looking good and having your fingers or toes intact after a ride, what would it be? The answer is obvious, but try to go for bright coloured clothing as it has shown in a studies that wearing eye catching gear reduces the risk of having an accident significantly. However don’t be put off by this you can have the best of both worlds! Finding great protective motorcycle clothing which also looks good is very much a possibility especially with our brilliant range.

Armour yourself

Buy clothing that offers superior protection to areas of the body where the bone is just below the surface of the skin e.g. knuckles shoulders, hips, knees and ankles. Try to look for clothing that has added thick body armour stitched on these areas. Protect areas more vulnerable to injuries; an obvious and sensible choice to make.

Get the right helmet

Choosing the right motorcycle helmet is one of the most important decisions, you the motorcyclist, will ever make. The choice between a good and a bad motorcycle helmet could be fatal.

When purchasing a motorcycle helmet ALWAYS makes sure you have the correct fit. Whether you are purchasing a top of the range motorcycle helmet or a cheaper alternative, getting the right fit is crucial for any motorcyclist. A poorly fitting motorcycle helmet could be extremely dangerous to the motorcyclist if in an accident. Make sure you measure your head  before the helmet is bought.

All of Funbikes motorcycle helmets adhere and exceed the UK and European ECE 22.05 standard.
