You buy what you like. This also applies to motorcycle clothing. MOTORRAD shows which safety-relevant and functional equipment details you should pay attention to when buying. Because an attractive design is of no use if the clothes fail in everyday life or in the event of a fall.

Motorcyclists have no crumple zone. Most bikers are aware of this and only go on tour with a protective leather or textile suit. However, among the huge, almost unmanageable range of motorcycle clothing, there are also many products that
do not meet the diverse practical requirements. Functional deficiencies such as a poor fit, non-waterproof seams or an oppressive collar are only used for annoyance and frustration
worries, it becomes dangerous if the supposed protective clothing fails in a fall or accident.
For example, injuries are programmed if protectors slip on the first contact with asphalt, insufficiently fixed seams open or one that is only attached to the inner lining
Connection zipper between jacket and pants tears. Such constructive weak points can usually be identified with a close inspection
unmask in the store. So plan enough time and take a look twice before buying crap or possibly running into a seller who has to get rid of inferior ones.
On the following pages, MOTORRAD provides tips on buying protective motorcycle clothing. Anyone who checks the items of clothing in question according to these criteria should do so in the future
be safe from failure. A thorough one is always recommended
Comparison of the various offers in a practical test? So when you try to sit on your own machine. This is the best way to get a feel for what the optimal protective clothing should be. It’s logical that the omnipresent stinginess is cool mentality is not necessarily target-oriented. In motorcycle protective clothing in particular, there is often more quality for more money. Exceptions confirm the rule here as well. If in doubt, you should consult an experienced buddy. Or read the extensive tests in MOTORRAD. The Internet at www.motorradonline.de reveals which test was published and when.

underwear
The right underwear is part of sensible motorcycle equipment. Functional underwear is a must, especially for textile suits with a functional membrane, because they are mostly made of art-
undersuits made with fibers do not absorb sweat, but pass it on. This is the only way a breathable functional membrane can show its advantages. The skin remains comfortable
dry, which ultimately serves the well-being of the driver. Functional underwear also improves performance under a leather suit
Wearing comfort ?? and increases security. In the event of a fall, the undersuit acts as a “sliding layer” between the skin and
Lining and thus prevents painful lacerations or burns.
Kidney belt
The only job of a kidney belt is to keep the blood purifying organs warm. If you wear a leather suit or a textile suit with a waterproof and windproof functional membrane, you don’t need one
Kidney belt. Bikers who get sweaty in the summer
Do not wear safety clothing, but you should definitely use the belt because the temperature of the kidneys in the side of the back will otherwise drop too much due to the wind chill effect
