FAQs about
protective motorcycle wear (cont.)
Q. What about gear for the rain and the winters?
A. Just buy a cheap raincoat from a camping store (sized
to fit over your jacket) and pair of plastic overpants. You can buy purpose
made waterproof overboots or apply waterproofing your boots.
Q. I read somewhere that the best protection/armour is provided by something
called POLYNORBONENE or Norsorex. This is CE certified. Where can I find gear
(jackets/pants) with this stuff?
A. Never heard of it. For the best protection buy leather
motorcycle gear with plastic armour inserts.
Q. How do I know the protection provided in pants and jackets is any good?
A. Ask other riders, use common sense and read reviews.
If it sounds too good to be true - it probably is.
Q. I have a pair of Scarpa hiking boots with ankle protection. Do I need to
buy a pair of biking boots?
A. Not for general riding. I also have a pair of Scarpa boots and they are
stronger than most cheap touring boots and much more comfy to walk in.
