Episode 12: How to Evaluate a Piece of Motorcycle Gear
I’m simultaneously recording a Facebook Live event that I did back in May.
If you don’t know anything about motorcycle gear, how are you supposed to look at a product? What are some things to consider while you’re evaluating a piece of gear besides the most obvious safety and protection features.
How do you know if a piece of gear might be right for you? What do the vents mean? what can some of the features this jacket offers imply for me and my style of riding?
Here are a few pieces of gear that I go through and my break down.
Alpinestars Andes Pro Drystar for Tech Air does this offer as much ventilation as a true summer jacket?
Rukka Elas Jacket (women’s version of the Elas)
