    I had a high side literally under 2 minutes after leaving my house. I had Alpinestars Leather Jacket, Arai helmet, G Star Raw Jeans, Polo Alpine200 Mens Hiking Boots (more like Sneakers), and Gloves. The Jean's were torn off and skin taken with it, the metal on the boots were grinded to nothing, the toe area was one tread away from eating my toes. Even my underwear were torn off.
    We never anticipate these things happening to us, but it does. Its better to pay for the gear and not need it, than to need the gear or end up in the ER paying medical Bills....as an FYI, most insurance companies cover up to $3000-5000 in gear as part of your policy.
    Buy the gear and wear it. There's nothing cool about having scars or having to stay in the house all summer healing because you wanted to ride with a T-shirt and sneakers.

      @Seth Taylor - Shop at your local retail store then buy online? Think about that from the local shop's perspective. They pay rent, utilities, and lots of taxes. They pay the salaries of their sales staff and they invest a fortune in inventory for you to try on... so you can buy it online and save a few bucks. Not cool, dude.
      I buy online, but I'd never go to a local shop and take up their time, which is money to them because the salesperson is being paid, and then after their pre-sales assistance, buy from their online competitor. I guess it's better than shoplifting, but they're fairly similar. In either case, something of value was taken from a retail business.
      Gee, I wonder why there are fewer local shops with knowlegeable staff where we can shop and make an informed purchasing decision and we're now forced to buy riding gear sight unseen at Amazon?

I have been in 2 accidents wearing cheap helmets and it saved the skin on the top of my head once, but the second one I was wearing an open faced helmet and it moved up when I hit the road. Busted the top of my eye completely open. I also was wearing tennis shoes and when the other bike hit us it broke my big toe and foot from getting trapped between the motor and the front tire of the other bike. WEAR THE SAFETY GEAR.....

    Another nice video on the info on gear. As far as Helmets go, people should think of them as a " custom fit" item. It wasn't until I went to buy my 3rd Helmet and met a salesman in a Harley dealership and he thoroughly explained the difference in brands and models, antyfog visors and if the padding is machine washable. After that experience I couldn't believe the previous salesman from other bike shops including other shops the bikes shops I walked into in search of my 3rd helmet. With the relaxed attitude about the gear thay have on their shelves. Every time I was told " Helmets are over there, come find me when you've found one you like". Any time you guys here this move on to the next shop. Until you find someone who will help you find the most comfortable, best fitting helmet you can afford.

      @yeejay6396 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I've been wondering about this for the longest time.
      I often just measure my body/head and go with a fit. The issue with this is that given the site/vendor/seller their fit is varied because sizing can be off by even a few cm's and screws up the sizing as a whole. Stuff like this makes me miss football days. The only reason why I buy from the web is pricing can vary greatly, but often times it quite literally comes at a cost. Some day soon I'll find a shop/dealership like you did, and much like my sports coaches hope that a sales rep fits me right and gives me advice. I want to ride for as long as I am able. Because owning and maintaining a 4 wheel vehicle all the time is a pain in the neck.

    Might, this video doesn’t help and seems to be very vague in information for beginners. It seems that you are talking only about what’s the function of the gear. No advice about which gear and for what. No diferent prices, because maybe for the beginners it’s best to begin with a less expensive gear but looking for a quality as well.

    2:04 that's not true. There are plenty of waterproof leather solutions out there and the leather itself might bet soaked on non waterproof leather gear but it won't let the water through easily. It has to be pretty heavy rain to the point where even waterproof textile gear will start to soak up at places like the bottom of the jacket, sleeves and neck. 2:26 that is very true though, every time i get caught in hard rain my perforated leather gloves leave my hands a shade of purple

    Gotta say that integrated sun glasses should be way up on the list for city driving. It's a safety feature. It helps me SEE. Drive around a corner and the sun is now shining directly into my eyes? Sun glasses down. Drive into a tunnel? Sunglasses up. Seeing where I am going is the number 1 safety feature. If I ever happen to get into a crash directly on my forhead and the helmet provides less safety because they hollowed that part out to make room for sunglasses, well, that will suck. But I've already avoided several accidents thanks to my integrated sunglasses. They are also super nice on cold days when I have the visor open to combat fog. Seems to do a lot to keep my face warm (so that I leave the visor more open) and reduce fog. Again, helping me to SEE. And I will never again have to ride home at night with a tinted visor. This makes sense to me. Does it make sense to you? Why does literally no one talk about this? Am I missing something?

    I wanted to commute year round in Philadelphia when I started riding and didn't factor in the cost of all that gear. Every season change for about two years saw me buying more gear. Now, I can ride comfortable (somewhat) from 15 to 100 degrees, but good lord was that expensive. I urge new riders to really think about what they want to do on a bike and budget for extra gear when starting out and buying a first bike.

I left all of the tags and stickers on it, so I can exchange it for something else, if necessary. I wore it around the store, and it felt okay to me.

Maybe it's the new ones that aren't waterproof, I don't have any experience with new leather jackets, but I bought a very old leather motorcycle jacket 4 years back, just to wear to school. I now use it on my moped. But it has always been watertight. Once a year I smear it with a thick layer of oil/fat used to maintain leather horse gear and it's good to go. The best jacket I've ever bought and I will propably wear it until myself or it dies.
