Wearing leathers when riding motorcycles is an absolute must, but it can take time to choose the right garments for you. However, you wouldn't rush into buying the first bike you took a test-ride on and you should approach choosing your new garments with the same caution. The reason for this is that you want to be sure they will keep you as safe as possible. The major difference between a motorcycle or scooter and any other type of vehicle is that there is nothing standing between you and the road if you have an accident. While in a car, you have a seatbelt strapping you to your seat and the shell of the vehicle to act as a barrier, but on a bike there is just thin air between you and the ground - and it will certainly feel thin if you fall off. As a result, it is absolutely vital that you take as much time as possible to research what's out there, so that you have the best chance of finding the items that are perfect for you. To begin with, you may wish to consider what bike you own. If it is a sportsbike, or particularly a racing bike, safety should be at the forefront of your considerations. Many racers prefer a one-piece suit as it is fitted to their body and so more streamlined. You can choose these with additional protection built in, such as back protectors, armoured shoulders, elbow and knee pads. The features mean that these parts of your body, which are at additional risk of harm if you come off your bike as they are likely to be the first area to make contact with the road, are extra safe. However, if you ride more for leisure and you have a touring or cruising bike, you may prefer separate leathers. These can be more practical, as whenever you make a stop, you can simply take your jacket off, rather than having to strip out of your suit and into new clothes. Because you are wearing leather, you still have the peace of mind that you have the best protection possible should you be in an accident, while it is unlikely you will be travelling at such high speeds so may not need the additional armour. When it comes to colour, there are so many options available. If you own a sportsbike you might prefer to get something bright, as this means you will be easier to see while on the road. However, black is the classic choice and if you are riding in the fog or late in the evening you can wear a high-visibility vest over the top of your leathers for additional peace of mind. As well as a choice of colours, there are many different styles available, from retro collarless jackets to versions with a diagonal zip. You will quickly notice that there are countless brands available, many of which make top-quality motorcycle gear. However, if you're struggling you may wish to check out Dainese leathers.
