 It is only the inexperienced, and reckless motorcycle rider who does not think that it necessary to invest in the proper gear, such as the right motorcycle jacket, helmet, boots and gloves. The proper motorcycle gear will someday save a rider's life and a lot of pain. Essentially, adorning the proper gear is a necessary safety precaution, and is just as important as carrying your license with you, or being insured.
The right motorcycle gear will save serious injury, and may just save the rider's life. One of the most essential pieces of gear is a comfortable motorcycle leather jacket, made of special tear resistant material, and padded with non-bendable hard pads to protect important bones from fractures. Not every motorcycle leather jacket will have pads, but if one wants to put safety first, these types of jackets are an essential investment that cannot be neglected. If a motorcycle rider consistently wears non protective clothing, and does not practice safety, they may as well ride naked, because they are offering their skin to the pavement if their is ever a spill.
A motorcycle rider is opening themselves up to serious injuries and even death, were it not for motorcycle jackets and other protective gear like a DOT approved motorcycle helmet. Some may not agree that this simple piece of gear could be so important. So what's the deal, and how in the world can a motorcycle jacket save a life? First of all motorcycle jackets are not just a jacket. A leather jacket of this kind is made special for riders to protect their skin.
Many people do not know that the skin is an organ, just as much as the heart or lungs. One has to understand how important the function of the skin is to the human body. The skin cells protect other vital organs from harm. The skin is the first barrier of protection for our bodily organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, spleen and liver. When the skin is seriously injured, the first barrier of defense is broken, allowing further injury to other vital organs, and opens the body up for harsh infections. And, besides imagine being skinned alive in a horror show? Being skinned alive happens more then a motorcycle rider would like to admit, because they were not wearing the necessary riding gear. This is seriously painful and the pain does not go away anytime soon, all in the name of not wanting to invest in the necessary motorcycle gear.
Manufacturers of leather motorcycle jackets do make these life saving pieces of apparel in materials that simulate a leather and other materials such as mesh for hotter days, Kevlar, and a synthetic safety material manufactured by DuPont. The wisest decision a devoted motorcycle rider can make is to invest in a motorcycle leather jacket for cooler/colder days and one made of a mesh material for those hotter days, which allow for cooler air flow through the material, making the rider very comfortable. A motorcycle rider needs to take responsibility for their utmost safety when on the road.
