Proskins, Anti-Freeze and Chill Out Winter Motorcycle Clothing Ranges

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

For the last few weeks many mornings have brought with them a worrying amount of fog and mist. Such signs suggest that winter is just around the corner - a fact that strikes fear into the heart of even the most dedicated of bikers. That’s because riders can look forward wet and icy roads, increased traffic and bone numbing cold. Here at the Motorcycle Clothing Shop, ever eager to do our bit, we have a number of Proskins, Oxford and Motrax products in our range which offer various thermal and temperature regulating benefits. As every biker knows, being comfortable while riding is paramount.

In terms of year round comfort, not just during winter, the Proskins range is truly remarkable. Known as ‘compression wear’ the items available in our online shop are designed to fit snugly under even then most well fitting of leathers in order to maintain optimum body temperature.

Keeping your body and muscles warm in this way not only feels better, but also aids concentration when riding and helps guarantee that your muscles react properly. Even more innovative is the way compression wear helps to reduce how much muscles ache on long rides or trips during colder weather.

Items on offer include unisex garments such as balaclavas, shirts, trousers, skull caps and neck tubes. This means that you can remain completely warm no matter where you’re travelling to or from. Indeed, this compression range is ideal for those who are touring or taking longer trips, as the fabric works to transfer perspiration generated moisture away from the skin, therefore keeping riders dry.

To some degree, this feature is shared by the Anti-Freeze range provided by Motrax and the newly stocked Chill Out line, courtesy of Oxford Products. That’s because all three clothing ranges are made from manmade fibres which transfer the body’s moisture away from the skin, rather than absorbing it and trapping it close to the skin like cotton does.

However while the compression wear range from Proskins works to maintain body temperature in all seasons, the Anti-Freeze and Chill Out ranges are dedicated thermal products designed specifically for the winter. The clothing in each line features in built wind proof membranes, which serve to limit that wind chill factor responsible for the biting cold experienced when riding.

If you love biking, don’t let the worsening weather keep you from the road. Whether you’re after Proskins, Motrax or Oxford winter wear to keep you warm, or even Box helmets and HJC helmets to protect yourself should the ice catch you out, here at the Motorcycle Clothing  Shop our advice, stock and pricing can provide the answer.

Where to Buy Motrax Motorcycling Accessories

Thursday, October 28th, 2010

Just because the MotoGP season runs only between April and November doesn’t mean that your biking season should. After all can you think of a better way to spend a Sunday morning in January than waxing and polishing your bike until she sparkles in the early morning sun, before making her purr as you take to the road? Here at the Motorcycle Clothing Shop, we can’t. But we also know the importance of being safe while travelling, which is why we stock a range of accessories such as Motrax hi-viz jackets.

Our Motrax range includes the popular DRI Viz line, which is fluorescent by day and reflective by night. Comprising a mesh interior and back panel to reduce the ballooning caused by the wind while riding, this product represents a cost effective purchase which is incredibly versatile.

However, those looking for Oxford clothing can rest assured that we also stock jackets, vests and belts from their high visibility product list including the very popular Institute of Advanced Motorcyclist (IAM) approved Bright Top Active Vest.

Along with having the latest safety accessories, we also think it’s important for our fellow bikers to be kitted out with the latest accessories from top brands.  For this reason we stock an (almost) endless list of essential accessories.

There are some bikers amongst us that like to take a loved one with them and we have the perfect accessory to make this possible. They’re known as Motrax love-handles or Oxford Rider Grips and they’re not quite what you may be thinking of. These handles fit securely around your waist and give your passenger something to hold as you take the country’s roads.

For those who are patriotic and want to show their pride whilst taking to the roads, here at the Motorcycle Clothing Shop, we can help. We supply a range of Scottish, Union Jack and St George Cross tank pads and face masks. We aim to stock every accessory our fellow riders could need, want or desire for their bikes and leathers.

Next time you’re waxing your bike, why not take a step back and think if there is anything else you could have that would take your biking experience from zero to sixty quicker than your pride and joy itself. If you’re prepared enough to have everything you need when you’re out on the road, why not invest in the very latest updated range of Motrax dust or weatherproof covers to keep your bike protected when not in use.

Buy HJC FS-Max Helmets Online

Wednesday, October 13th, 2010

The sun is out, the roads are dry, your motorbike has a full tank of petrol and the kids are away. So what better way to spend the day than leaving the busy city roads behind and racing off along the country roads (within the speed limit, of course). But as every biker knows, it’s not just about the adrenaline rush that fills our veins as we take to the roads, it’s also about keeping safe (and looking good), which is why the HJC Helmets for sale at the Motorcycle Clothing Shop should be a must-have for any true biker.

HJC have been designing and manufacturing high quality helmets since the early 1950s and here at the Motorcycle Clothing Shop, we have their latest offering, the HJC FS-Max.

The HJC FS-Max is a flip-front helmet which has been constructed using advanced fibreglass composite. It comes in a choice of three colours – plain black, plain white and for those that want to be noticed not just for their bike but for their outstanding choice of safety gear, fluorescent yellow.

Along with this helmet getting you noticed as you take to the road, especially the fluorescent yellow one, and keeping your noggin safe. There is a chance that it may tempt you away from the Box helmets and Caberg helmets, especially when you consider some of its fantastic features.

For example the HJC FS-Max includes an internal drop down sun visor – which means there’s no need to push sunglasses into the helmet once you’ve got it on. Although it does incorporate a glasses groove to help riders who wear specs.

So if it’s time you replaced your old helmet why not upgrade by visiting our online store. Here you’ll not only find competitive prices on all HJC Helmets, but you’ll also be able to see for yourself why the full flow ventilation HJC FS-Max helmet has been both ECE R 22.05 and ACU Gold approved.

There are so many reasons why biking is such a popular pastime for so many men nationwide. Few other hobbies offer such adventure and exhilaration, right outside your front door.

Caberg Flip Front Motorcycle Helmets

Thursday, July 29th, 2010

One of every rider’s biggest adversaries is the weather. Whilst the biting winter brings with it bitter cold and lethal ice, the summer possesses a few problems of its own for intrepid bikers. Blinding sunlight aside, the hotter weather can make even the shortest of journeys uncomfortable, with leathers and helmets offering little in the way of ventilation. Luckily, Caberg flip front helmets available to buy online from the Motorcycle Clothing Shop represent a solution which is safe and stylish. These helmets open vertically, affording a warm rider that much need breeze during those brief stops.

But these helmets aren’t just comfortable; they also offer an unrivalled level of safety too. This is due to three factors; increased peripheral vision, better concentration and ease of access to the face in the event of an accident.

Any biker knows that if you’re wet, cold or too hot, your concentration can be affected. When on the road, it’s crucial to remain alert at all times especially given the reality that many car drivers simply don’t look out for bikes. A flip front helmet keeps riders comfortable, aware of their surroundings, and affords a greater view of peripheral traffic when the front is raised.

At Motorcycle Clothing Shop we stock a variety of these helmets, all of which feature an inner sun visor so that riders aren’t dazzled. While it’s not legal to ride with the front raised, flip fronts are perfect for when stopping for petrol or that quick roadside discussion regarding which way the track is!

For those of us with whom old habits die hard, our website here at the Motorcycle Clothing Shop also features box helmets and HJC FS-Max helmets of varying prices and styles. Regardless of whether it’s these or our Caberg flip front helmets that you require; our informative website, secure payment system and friendly customer service staff can help you get fully kitted out this summer.

For those of us who work hard during the week, motorcycling represents a welcome relief on those balmy evenings and hot summer weekends. There’s nothing better than spending your time off filtering through the inner city traffic with friends before you reach the b- roads and throttle up for some fun. But as every biker knows, it’s important to look good when you’re out, especially at meets. A new Caberg helmet from the Motorcycle Clothing Shop could be just the thing to get you noticed (and we hear they’re good for safety too.)

In all seriousness, it’s essential that your helmet is safe and up to date, as old helmets which have been dropped a few times can suffer from unseen weaknesses.

Here at the Motorcycle Clothing Shop we also offer free shipping on any purchase over £50, because we believe that motorcycling shouldn’t cost the earth, especially with fuel prices being what they are today.
