As winter draws closer, bringing with it the typical cold, wet and windy weather conditions, all motorcyclists should consider the clothing they currently wear, and how this needs to be changed according to seasonal temperatures.  When travelling at high speeds in exposed conditions on a regular basis, it is important to ensure your health is not being put at risk.  Not only can the cold cause serious illnesses such as hypothermia and pneumonia, it can also have an effect on your concentration when on the road, which can endanger your safety.

Depending on specific conditions, the appropriate motorcycle clothing can vary.  As the nights draw in earlier, one important thing to consider for the safety of all road users is the use of high visibility clothing.  From tops and waistcoat style clothing through to visibility belts, investing in these products really can help to save lives on the road – if other drivers can see you, they can certainly avoid colliding with you.

With regard to your personal warmth and comfort, purchasing items such as neck warmers and thermal Pro Skins can help no end.  As the area that is most often left exposed between your motorcycle helmet and other protective clothing, it is of paramount importance that your neck is adequately protected from the cold weather.

In addition, it is also recommended to ensure you are wearing appropriate layers beneath your other motorcycle clothing.  Most professional clothing stockists advise the use of Pro Skins and other thermal undergarments to make certain your core body temperature remains the same regardless of the conditions you have to ride in.  Windproof jackets by Motrax and Teknic help to prevent the wind chill factor and it is recommended not to wear cottons close to the body.

So, for the best possible motorcycle riding this winter, the first consideration is your clothing.  With so many specialist retailers out there stocking products from leading manufacturers at great prices, there’s no excuse for not having the right equipment.
