Is Your Riding Gear Out Of Date? January 12, 2011
When it comes to the technology used in bikes these days it’s getting more and more advanced to give us the perfect and safe ride. It’s also the safety in the clothing we wear that’s come along way as well as the actual machines. Everything from your jackets to your boots is designed to be ultra resistant to damage should you have an accident. Yet as safe as they are and as strong as they are they’re light enough to let you move and be as responsive as you want. You have to be able to move quickly, in less than a second you can hit danger and have to react instantly.
The head is the most important part of the body so it stands to reason that this has to be protected above all else. You are actually more likely to damage the other end of you body if you do have an accident. Very few people have enough time to make a conscious decision if they are going to fall which is why in the majority of accidents the bike lands on the rider’s legs and feet. A product like SixSixOne Flight Boots are built to make sure you’re as protected as possible. These more expensive products are more likely to protect you because they’re usually put more money and time into their research and development.
When it comes to having perfect control over your bike your hands and fingers are essential. With things like the throttle and break on the steering you need to have perfect control over everything. Something like Fly Kinetic Gloves need to be invested in before you start riding. Proper bike gloves will ensure you’re always going to have the control and grip you need as well as keeping them protected in the event of an accident.
