How to choose your motorcycle pants?

Recommended but not compulsory equipment

In any case, as it is compulsory to wear motorcycle gloves, it is strongly recommended to never ride in shorts or Bermuda shorts, even in summer, just as the wearing of a suitable motorcycle jacket is also necessary for protecting yourself from bad weather and injury.

 

Weather protection

Even simple jeans cannot protect you from the rain and cold when riding a motorcycle, especially on long trips. Splashes in particular can occur even on a clear day when driving on puddles or drains. An over-pants in waterproof and breathable material is a minimum, but even if it is less practical and less comfortable, leather remains the reference material. It is also used to cut off the wind.

 

Protection against impact and injury

Of course, the main role of motorcycle pants is to protect you from injuries in the event of an impact or accident: bruises, abrasions, burns, fractures, and even worse. This is why, even in leather, motorcycle pants must be equipped with protective reinforcements on the knees and hips, but also on the shins. These reinforcements are generally made of a composite material, which can sometimes also replace leather all over the garment.
