Motorcycle helmets face a bleak and uncertain future once they outlive their usefulness because the carbon fiber composite, fiberglass, EPS, and plastics used in their construction gradually lose their effectiveness. Typically, this occurs after 7 years from the manufacture date, 5 years of normal usage, or after a crash. Yet…
Riders who prioritize protection and abrasion resistance may consider investing in a race suit, whether for track use (where it may be mandatory) or weekend canyon rides after a long week of work or school. But regardless of the activity, you may find yourself pondering the age-old question: just how…
For individuals who enjoy riding in cool or cold weather, it’s probably pretty obvious that a jacket is a good idea. But you might be wondering, should you always wear a motorcycle jacket? Yes, you should wear a motorcycle jacket at all times while riding if you want to significantly…

Maybe you’ve purchased a brand-new helmet and left it on the shelf, or perhaps you used it briefly before setting it aside within the recommended 5-7 year replacement window. In either scenario, you might ask: do motorcycle helmets expire if left unused? The short answer is no—unused helmets don’t expire,…
Are full face helmets uncomfortable? Some riders feel more restricted in a full-face motorcycle helmet. A full coverage helmet can also be extremely hot and restrict air flow to the face in extremely hot and humid riding conditions. Full face helmets can also be heavier than an open face helmet…

Leather jackets have long been considered an essential part of any motorcyclist’s wardrobe. It’s as much a badge of membership to an exclusive club as anything.
