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.
