Feel the heat? It’s the summer calling you, the sun kissing your skin, the open road stretching before you, and the rumble of your motorcycle beneath you. But before you grab your keys and take off, let’s talk gear. The right motorcycle attire isn’t just a style statement, it’s your ticket to a comfortable ride.
Boost your experience with gear that keeps you cool, protected, and ready for adventure this summer. In this blog, we’ll explore the essential summer motorcycle gear every rider needs to conquer the road in style.
Why is Summer Motorcycle Gear Crucial?
Riding in the summer brings challenges that require specific gear to maintain a sense of safety and relaxation. High temperatures can lead to heat exhaustion, while increased sunlight means more UV exposure. Wearing the right gear helps regulate your body temperature, protects your skin from harmful rays, and guards against potential injuries in case of an accident.
Two things you need to take care of, during the summer include:
- Comfort and Breathability: Summer motorcycle gear is designed to be lightweight and breathable. This prevents overheating and allows for airflow management, keeping you cool during long rides. Look for materials that wick moisture away from your skin, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable.
- UV Protection: Long exposure to the sun can lead to sunburn and skin damage. Summer gear often includes UV-resistant fabrics, acting as an additional layer of protection against harmful rays.
How Summer Motorcycle Gear Differs?
Summer motorcycle gear is specifically designed to meet the needs of riders in hot weather. Here’s how it differs from winter or all-season motorcycle gear:
-
Materials: Summer gear typically uses lighter, more breathable materials such as mesh, which promotes airflow and helps regulate your body temperature. In contrast, winter gear is often made from thicker, insulated fabrics meant to retain heat.
- Ventilation: Features: Many summer jackets and pants come with built-in ventilation systems. This can include zippered vents that can be opened or closed depending on the temperature, allowing you to customise your airflow.
- Weight and Fit: Summer gear is generally lighter and less bulky than winter gear. This means you can move more freely and comfortably, which is essential for handling your motorcycle effectively.
- Armour Placement: While protective gear is essential year-round, heat-resistant gear often features strategically placed armour that maintains protection without sacrificing comfort. This allows for enhanced mobility while still safeguarding critical areas during a fall.
