Must-Have Motorcycle Safety Gear

Our Top Picks to Keep You Safe When You Ride

As the weather warms up and motorcycle season kicks into high gear, you may want to consider kicking your riding gear up a notch as well. New technology has led to many improvements in more traditional motorcycle equipment and to the creation of some new and innovative gear as well.

Safe riding gear can make all the difference if you are involved in an accident on your motorcycle. We've put together a list of our top safety picks to take your gear to the next level this motorcycle season.

Gear Up

Helmet

Statistics show wearing a Department of Transportation (DOT)-approved helmet greatly increases your chance of survival in the event of a motorcycle accident. Your helmet should fit comfortably (never loose) and not impair your hearing or vision. High-quality helmets are made of fiberglass or a plastic blend, and they are lighter and absorb impact better than less expensive ones.

Eyewear

Along with wearing a helmet, motorcyclists should wear protective eyewear – either a helmet with a shield, a pair of goggles, or shatterproof glasses. Make sure your eye protection is clean and unscratched, and if your lenses are tinted for riding in the sun, have some that are clear for night riding. Remember, some states, like Pennsylvania, have laws requiring protective eyewear.

Gloves

We see many motorcyclists involved in accidents suffer hand injuries. Having a pair of tough and durable gloves can make a big difference.

Boots

When considering riding footwear, look for boots with great ankle support, protective features, and great gripping surfaces to give you powerful traction on footpegs and roadways.

Injured in a Motorcycle Accident?

Motorcyclists are more exposed to danger than other drivers on the road. While taking steps to protect yourself can help— like buying great-quality safety gear—despite our best efforts, accidents can still happen. Car and truck drivers can still be negligent and irresponsible around motorcycle riders.
