Protective Motorcycle Jacket
- Clothing worn when riding a motorcycle should provide some measure of protection from abrasion in the
event of a spill. These should be of durable material (e.g., special synthetic material or leather). Jackets sho-
uld have long sleeves. Trousers (not shorts) should not be baggy or flared at the bottom to prevent entanglement
with the chain, kick starter, foot- pegs, or other protrusions on the sides of a motorcycle.
Increasingly, motorcyclists are choosing protective equipment constructed of man-made textiles rather than leather due
to their improved weather protection, from heat, cold and water, and the increased utility these garments tend to provide
in terms of pockets and vents.
