SHOP ALL MOTORCYCLE GEAR

When shopping for men's and women's motorcycle gear, there are several important factors to consider to ensure you're getting the right gear that provides comfort, safety, and style. Here's what to look for:

1. Safety Features:

• Armour: Look for gear with built-in CE-certified armor at key impact areas such as shoulders, elbows, back, hips, and knees. At Peak Moto, we only stock gear with reliable, fully tested armour.
• Abrasion Resistance: Opt for gear made from abrasion-resistant materials like leather, textile blends, or reinforced mesh to protect against road rash. Look for a CE Rating of at least A. We only stock A, AA, and AAA gear in our shop.
• Reflective Elements: Gear with reflective panels or strips enhances visibility in low-light conditions, improving safety.

2. Fit and Comfort:

• Sizing: Ensure a proper fit by following sizing guides and trying on gear whenever possible. Ill-fitting gear can compromise safety and comfort. Feel free to contact us at Peak Moto if you ever need help with sizing.
• Adjustability: Look for gear with adjustable features like straps, waistbands, and cuffs to customise the fit. Most of the gear that we stock have adjustability features.
• Ventilation: Adequate ventilation, such as zippered vents or breathable mesh, helps regulate body temperature during rides. Prioritise ventilation if you live in a hot or humid climate.

3. Weather Protection:

• Waterproofing: Gear with waterproof or water-resistant features keeps you dry in wet conditions. Look for sealed seams - ask us if you have any doubt about our waterproof gear. Flying Solo Gear Co and REV'IT! are amongst the best in the waterproof business.
• Insulation: Consider gear with removable liners for added warmth in colder weather. REV'IT! and MotoGirl gear usually offer great insulation.
• Ventilation: For hot climates, gear with good airflow and ventilation is essential to prevent overheating.

4. Functionality:

• Pockets and Storage: Ample pockets, both inside and outside, provide convenient storage for personal items.
• Ease of Use: Look for gear with easy-to-use closures like zippers, snaps, and Velcro for quick and secure adjustments.
• Compatibility: Ensure gear is compatible with other riding accessories, such as helmet intercom systems or phone mounts. Feel free to ask us about our helmets and intercom compatebility. 

5. Style and Aesthetics:

• Design Options: Choose from a variety of styles, colours, and designs that align with your personal preferences.
• Gender-Specific Designs: Some gear is designed with anatomical differences in mind for a better fit and comfort for men and women.

6. Durability:

• Quality Construction: Invest in well-constructed gear from reputable brands known for durability.
• Reinforced Seams: Double or triple stitching and reinforced seams enhance the longevity of the gear.

7. Brand Reputation and Reviews:

• Research: Look for well-known and reputable brands that are trusted in the motorcycle community. We only stock brands that have a reputation for quality, such as MotoGirl, REV'IT!, and Flying Solo Gear Co.
• Reviews: Check online reviews and testimonials to gauge customer satisfaction with specific gear items. Be sure to read our reviews page too!

8. Budget:

• Value: While quality gear might be an investment, focus on the value you're getting in terms of safety and performance.

Remember, regardless of gender, the most important aspect of motorcycle gear is its ability to provide protection in the event of an accident. Prioritise safety and comfort when choosing gear, and consider trying on different options to find the best fit and style for your individual needs.
