Protective Plus Size Motorcycle Gear

By Celina Heath


There are many instances where you will find motorcyclists riding in casual outfits. This can be very dangerous as these riders have not thought about their safety. That is why it is crucial that you have protective clothing that will prevent you from getting injured if an accident occurs or you fall off your bike. There is some awesome plus size motorcycle gear available to protect you and your passengers while you are out on a ride.

A helmet is the most important protective item that a motorcyclist should wear. In up to 40% of fatal accidents, the rider could have survived if he or she was wearing a suitable helmet. Always choose a helmet that allows you to see and hear efficiently and that fits comfortably.

If you are more of a leisurely rider that does not enjoy wearing a full faced helmet, you have the option of a half helmet. This helmet does not make you as hot as a full faced helmet but you face, ears and eyes are exposed to the elements. If you use this helmet wear goggles or shatter proof glasses to protect your eyes.

Even though a helmet can help prevent serious injury, you should also try to get protective motorcycle clothing for your body. Bright apparel that is also reflective can be beneficial when traveling at night. This is because other motorists will be able to see you.

If you are looking for a suitable jacket and pants, find something that will completely cover your arms and legs. The apparel should be made from strong and durable materials. Some of the best materials for riding apparel are made from nylon, leather as well as denim.

It is also important to protect your hand while you are riding. Get a pair of strong leather gloves that will keep the cold wind out and offer some protection should you be involved in an accident. The right shoes that offer support for your ankles such as boots are the best option for protecting your feet. Try to avoid wearing open shoes such as sandals and flip flops while riding.

The protective clothing mentioned above are just the basic riding apparel that you will need. There are many other items that can be worn for added protection. These will make your riding experience more comfortable and will give you the peace of mind that your body and head will be protected.

A few of these protective accessories include items such as chest pads which can be worn inside your jacket as well as thigh pads and knee pads. The goal of these is to protect you and add some cushioning to your fall. They are also there to prevent you from getting cuts and scrapes on your skin.

Finding plus size motorcycle gear is not difficult. There are many great options available to you that you can customize according to your own needs with stickers, logos or patches that can be sewn onto the clothing. Gone are the days when protective gear was bulky and ugly. Now you will find many different trends in riding apparel that is stylish and attractive..
