Safety Clothes for Bike Riders

Post by VBMWMO »

Hi Guys i have read an article about Safety clothes for bike riders, I want
to share with all of you !

Many countries mandate the wearing of protective clothing by motorcyclists,
especially a helmet. Other protective gear may include certain types of
jackets, gloves, boots, and pants. Jackets meant for motorcyclists are
typically made of nylon, leather, or Kevlar. These jackets typically
include heavy padding on the elbow, spine, and shoulder regions. Gloves are
generally made of leather or Kevlar and some include carbn fiber knuckle
protection. Boots, especially those for sport riding, include reinforcement
and plastic caps on the ankle and toe areas. A well-protected motorcyclist
will wear boots with heels that fit on motorcycle foot rests (pegs) and
provide good ankle support. Pants are usually leather, nylon, or Kevlar.
Except for helmets, none of these items are required by law in any specific
country, but are recommended by many of those who ride.

OFFroad riders wear a range of plastic armour to protect against injury
from falling off, hitting other riders and bikes, debris kicked up from the
rear wheel of leading bikes, and from running into track barriers
protecting the public. This armour protects the extremities from breakage
and dislocation and the back and chest from strain and broken bones.
Although fairly efficient, it is of course not always completely effective.
Many riders wear "roost protectors" designed specifically to protect
against painful debris from other bikes, but are of no use in a fall or
collision.
