Safe Riding

RIDING GEAR

  • The benefit of wearing protective gear when riding is obvious. It enhances riding comfort by reducing exposure to the elements, road debris, flying insects, and more. It also reduces the risk of injury. How much riding gear to wear is a personal choice, but Harley-Davidson strongly recommends wearing appropriate gear every time you ride, including a helmet that meets DOT requirements, a long-sleeve jacket or shirt, sturdy long pants of chaps, gloves, eye protection, and over-the-ankle boots. We also recommend that riders have rain gear or cold weather gear with them.

  • HELMETS

  • A good helmet provides more than vital protection in case of an accident. It also cuts fatigue by reducing wind noise and blast, lessening the impact of the elements, and deflecting bugs and road debris. Three different basic styles are available to meet individual rider preferences: half helmets, three-quarter (open face) helmets, and full-face helmets. Before deciding which one you will wear, read about the steps you should take when fitting a helmet. All MotorClothes helmets meet DOT requirements, and some are designed to meet rigorous testing requirements of the Snell Memorial Foundation.

    EYE PROTECTION

  • Wind, dust, bugs, and rain can suck all the fun out of the ride. Protect your eyes by keeping a pair of quality eyewear in sight. MotorClothes Performance Eyewear offers a variety of options like:

  • Convertible goggles
  • Wrap goggles
  • Mid-flex goggles
  • Single lens goggles
  • Over-the-glasses goggles

  • Lenses are distortion-free, more impact resistant than standard polycarbonate, and enhance visual clarity. They also have UV protection and repel water, fog, dust, and oil.

    JACKETS

  • A sturdy riding jacket protects your upper body and arms against perpetual road demands, whether it's wind, sun, bugs, or debris. Look for jackets with venting, removeable liners, action backs, and more to enhance your ride. MotorClothes jackets boast quality leather or performance fabrics and offer special features for rider comfort and protection. We put our jackets through a tough battery of tests to make sure they hold up against whatever the road throws your way. And, most styles are available in extended sizes.
  • PANTS

  • For comfort and protection in the saddle, long pants are a must. Avoid loose-fitting styles that flap in the wind. Steer clear of tight-fitting pants that restrict movement. Instead, choose comfortably fitting bottoms made from an abrasion-resistant material like leather or denim. For an extra layer of protection and warmth, add leather chaps over your jeans.

  • Made to work to your advantage on and off the road, MotorClothes jeans, leather, pants, and chaps come in a range of styles and extended sizes to fit your needs and your shape.
  • GLOVES

  • Motorcycle gloves protect against wind, sun, rain, cold, pavement, and blisters while aiding your grip of the hand controls. Gloves should fit snugly, but comfortably. Fingerless, full=finger, and gauntlet styles provide a range of coverage.

  • MotorClothes gloves are available in a variety of materials, weights, and thicknesses with functional features for any weather condition. Windproof and waterproof design keeps out the elements and ensures comfort in any weather condition. Ergonomic thumb construction delivers a more natural fit and great comfort and anti-slip grip keeps your hands where they need to be - even in the rain. Padded palm, fingers, and knuckles give extra cushion to absorb road vibrations.
  • BOOTS

  • Proper footwear protect your feet and ankles from hot exhaust pipes and debris that may fly up from the road. Over-the-ankle boots with sturdy heels and non-slip soles are preferred for riding.

  • MotorClothes footwear is designed to provide better traction on the pavement and to help keep your feet on the pegs. Count on durable materials for years of extended wear and slip-resistant and oil-resistant stitched soles for better traction. A range of styles means there's a pair for every rider.
  • RAIN GEAR

  • A change in the weather doesn't have to mean a change in riding plans - not if you pack a reliable set of rain gear. Available in a variety of styles with smart rider features, MotorClothes rain gear pack easily into your saddlebags. Components include jackets, pants, gloves, and rain gaiters (waterproof "covers" that slip over your regular riding boots).

  • Most MotorClothes rain gear pants have textured rubber on the seat to prevent slipping in the saddle, as well as articulated knees that contour to you body's riding position for a more natural and comfortable fit. Count on durable, innovative, and high-tect materials to make it weather-resistant and comfortable, whatever the weather report.
