The Best Motorcycle Gear to Keep You Dry in Rain or Snow
Let’s face it, riding a motorcycle can be downright miserable when the weather turns foul. Rain, sleet, snow, fog or any other type of inclement weather makes it nearly impossible to see and hear as well as you normally do while riding. Although these conditions can be dangerous to your safety, if you have the right gear on, you will still be able to have an enjoyable experience. In this blog post, we'll discuss some of the best waterproof and winter motorcycle gear that will keep you warm and dry in almost any kind of bad weather. There are many options when it comes to staying dry and cozy on your bike. From jackets and pants with waterproof liners to gloves that repel water and special raincoats for helmet; read on for our recommendations on what gear is worth investing in.
Boots
One of the most important pieces of gear that you can wear while riding in wet weather is a high-quality pair of waterproof riding boots. Make sure to get a pair that is made from a synthetic material with a waterproof membrane, like Gore-Tex. Some boots are advertised as being waterproof but aren’t really waterproof at all. Look for boots that have an “all-weather” sole. This will help keep your feet warm and dry even in freezing temperatures. If your current riding boots aren’t waterproof, you can purchase a waterproof spray to apply to the outside of the boots. Make sure you follow the directions carefully, so that you don’t end up ruining your boots. Depending on how much time you spend riding in bad weather, it might be worth it to invest in a pair of waterproof riding boots. If you ride occasionally and only in the warmer months, you should be able to find a less expensive pair of riding boots.
Waterproof Jackets
For bad weather conditions, you’ll want to make sure any jacket you wear is 100% waterproof. Look for a jacket with a waterproof membrane and waterproof zippers. If you already own a warm leather jacket, you can purchase a waterproof liner to go inside your jacket. This will allow you to use your favorite jacket even in the wettest, nastiest weather. Another option is to buy a synthetic jacket, like a waterproof riding jacket, that is made to keep you warm and dry in harsh weather. If you can afford it, go with a jacket made from Gore-Tex. Gore-Tex jackets tend to be more expensive, but they are worth the cost because they are more breathable, more durable, and more waterproof than their cheaper counterparts.
Waterproof Pants
Waterproof pants are a great choice for bad weather riding. Make sure the pants are advertised as waterproof and that they have a waterproof membrane. Some pants are advertised as being waterproof but aren’t really waterproof at all. Look for waterproof pants that have a “clean” interior. The interior of the pants should be made of a material that doesn’t itch or irritate your skin. If you own a pair of leather riding pants, but they aren’t waterproof, you can purchase a waterproof spray to apply to the inside of the pants. Make sure you follow the directions carefully, so that you don’t end up ruining your pants.
Rain Coats for your helmet
A raincoat for your helmet will help keep you dry even when the rest of your body is soaked. There are a few different types of raincoats for helmets. They can be made from nylon, Gore-Tex, or some other waterproof material. Your raincoat for helmet can fit over your full-face helmet or it can be a smaller design that fits over a motorcycle helmet without a full face. If you own a full-face helmet and want the protection of a full rain coat for helmet, there are a few options that work well. One option is to purchase a modular helmet with an integrated rain hood. Another option is to purchase an aftermarket rain hood that attaches to your helmet with a couple of straps. If you own a helmet without a full face, you can purchase a smaller type of raincoat for helmet. These are similar to a rain jacket, but they are made to be worn on top of a full-face helmet.
Gloves and mittens
If you own a pair of leather gloves and don’t like wearing gloves with liners, you can buy a pair of gloves made from Gore-Tex. Gore-Tex gloves are much more expensive than regular leather gloves. However, these gloves will keep your hands warm and dry in even the worst weather. If you own a pair of leather gloves, but they aren’t waterproof, you can purchase a waterproof spray to apply to the outside of the gloves. Make sure you follow the directions carefully, so that you don’t end up ruining your gloves. If you own a pair of regular cotton or synthetic gloves, you can purchase a pair of waterproof liners to go inside your gloves. These liners will keep your hands warm and dry, even if the rest of your body is soaked. If you own a pair of gloves that are not waterproof, but you want to make them waterproof, you can spray the outside of the gloves with a waterproof spray.
Conclusion
The best motorcycle gear for bad weather won’t keep you 100% dry, but it will keep you warm and dry enough to enjoy your ride. Make sure to invest in a high-quality pair of waterproof boots, pants, and gloves if you spend a lot of time riding in bad weather. This will help keep you warm and dry for a much lower price than a full waterproof riding suit. If you spend a lot of time riding in bad weather, it might be worth it to invest in a full-on waterproof riding suit. This will help keep you dry and warm while you are riding. The best motorcycle gear for bad weather is whatever keeps you warm, dry, and protected from the elements.
