Helmet

The feeling of wind ruffling through your hair while you’re riding on your bike is unmatchable. However, riding without a helmet is dangerous and compromises your safety. If you do not already own a helmet, it is advised to purchase one immediately. There are a plethora of helmet options available such as full-face, modular, dirt bike, half-shell, and open-face helmets. Not wearing a helmet can also result in you having to pay a fine, therefore it is advised to always wear a helmet when riding.  

Goggles

While a full-face helmet offers some eye protection, it may not be entirely safe. If opting for a half-face helmet, it is essential to wear additional eye protection. Regular goggles or sunglasses lack impact resistance and will not protect you if anything hits your eyes from behind the lens. Invest in impact-rated eyewear or riding goggles with padding for full eye protection from debris and other particles on the road.

Motorcycle Gloves 

No motorcycle accessories list is complete without quality riding gloves. Riding gloves are designed to safeguard palms, knuckles, fingers, and the back of the hand while also enhancing  handlebar grip. Long gauntlet gloves offer extended wrist coverage, ideal for extended rides, while leather options provide both safety and style.

Motorcycle Jacket

A jacket is essential for riders as it provides protection from various weather conditions. If you purchase any quality jacket, it features protective armors for shoulders, back and elbows. Motorcycle jackets are available in various materials like leather, fabric and mesh, they often include rain or winter liners for added weather resistance. 

Elbow/Shin/Knee Guards 

If riding jackets or pants aren't your preference, opt for individual protective gear for specific body parts. Knee, elbow, and shin guards, along with back and chest protectors, offer affordable alternatives. They're less bulky and can be worn discreetly under clothing, providing added convenience and flexibility.
