Motorcycle Apparel Guide: Riding Apparel That Works Off the Bike
Riding apparel you do not have to change out of. How motorcycle clothing grew up.
For a long time motorcycle apparel came with a tax. You could be protected or you could look like a normal person at your destination, and you could not be both. That is no longer true, and riders should stop accepting it as a trade.
Protection hidden in plain sight
Modern riding apparel puts CE armor in discreet internal pockets and abrasion resistant fibres inside otherwise ordinary looking clothing. From two metres away it reads as a jacket. In a slide it behaves like motorcycle protective gear.
Riding denim changed the game
Reinforced riding jeans are the clearest example. They look like denim, they wear like denim, and they have armor pockets and abrasion resistant lining. We compare them properly in riding denim vs regular jeans.
Apparel that fits real bodies
The other quiet failure of motorcycle clothing has been sizing. Gear built for an averaged out body fits almost nobody properly, and armor that does not sit over the joint protects nothing. Our women's riding apparel guide covers this, and a custom build solves it outright.
Where to start
The Gravlok Premium Mesh Riding Jacket and Gravlok Premium 3 Season Jacket both work as everyday riding apparel. Pair with riding denim and the Expedition Riding Leather Gloves.
