When you ride long distances in intense, summer heat (say, on your way to Sturgis or Daytona) dehydration, heat exhaustion, and heatstroke can sneak up on you before you’re aware of what’s happening. 

So, it pays to know the warning signs, how to react when you experience them, and, most importantly, how to prevent them from happening in the first place.

Riding a motorcycle can be one of life's peak enjoyments, but it's not without its risks. Luckily, risk can be tremendously minimized with protective safety gear while also looking good.

There are so many options and considerations that even expert riders may be surprised by all the options available to them!

While some riders enjoy the peace and quiet of the open road uninterrupted, others like to rage down the road tunes cranking. These N01 (half helmet) and N02 (full-face helmet) helmets have been so popular with our customers that we have trouble keeping a full inventory of sizes in stock. Read up and let us know if you need one of these helmets to better your riding experience!

Killian Riding Jacket

Part Number 98235-18VM

Highly functional. There's really no other way to introduce the Killian Riding Jacket. This multi-season layer features durable Carbolex construction with stretch panels and power-stretch inserts for exceptional mobility and comfort. Other functionality includes: reinforced shoulders, fixed body armor (including a back pocket), vents, and more. Adding greater versatility, a dual-liner system includes a zip-out waterproof liner with its very own warmth liner. Iconic patches and bold stripes inject this men's textile motorcycle jacket with color and undeniable attitude.

Two of our favorite materials hook up for an epic jacket. The Arterial Abrasion-Resistant Slim Fit Denim Riding Jacket features mixed construction for gear that's hard-wearing yet anything but typical.

For touring enthusiasts, racking up 100-200-300 miles a day for several days isn't exhausting—it's exhilarating. The Vanocker Waterproof Riding Jacket helps you meet weather demands to stay comfortable as every breathtaking sight rolls by. Functional design is key starting with climate control: an insulated liner blocks cold and ample venting keeps you cool when you reach a comfortable temp. This men's textile motorcycle jacket offers an interior zipper compatible with any of our riding pants designed with a jacket-to-pant zipper. Pair them and the result is a full suit of coverage against cold and precipitation.
