- Helmet
Finding the right motorcycle helmet is critical to a rider’s comfort as well as their safety while on the road. Everyone’s head is built differently and finding the right helmet is a process. Treat your motorcyclist to a day of shopping to help them find the best helmet for their needs. Learn more about purchasing a motorcycle helmet.
- Gloves
Gloves are an essential riding accessory and should keep hands comfortable, functional, and protected while on the road.
- Jacket and Pants
Protective jackets and pants help fight against abrasion, sunburn, dehydration, and hypothermia while enjoying the open road. It’s important for motorcyclists to wear bright colored and reflective gear to help them be highly visible to other motorists- keep this in mind when shopping for new gear.
- Boots
Closed toed shoes are a MUST for all motorcyclists. Boots provide perfect protection against foot or ankle injuries in the case of an accident, while also offering the necessary grip on footrests or road surfaces.
