There is no safety accessory that is more important than a good motorcycle helmet in case of a crash. Every rider should wear a good helmet like the Arai. Arai has ranked highest in customer satisfaction for the past several consecutive years by J. D. Power & Associates, a global marketing information services company that did a survey in late 2008.
Motorcycle helmets are ranked by quietness, ventilation/air flow, defogging, face shield wind and scratching resistance, face shield replacement ease, shell scratch resistance, color and graphic design, weight, ease of strap fastening, and fit and comfort. Arai stood out among the rest. Arai focuses its ability to cater to different types of riders, also.
The next best helmet on the market today is Shoei according to J. D. Power & Associates. Advanced helmet features such as our anatomically-shaped comfort liner for optimum helmet fit, lowest possible weight to reduce stress on the neck muscles, and effective ventilation system for temperature regulation and reduction in wind noises all serve to further improve the safety of the rider.
Proper motorcycle gloves are essential to protect your hands. The type of glove you purchase will depend on the weather conditions that you normally ride in. Gloves come in many styles, colors, and material. Mesh or perforated leather gloves are best suited for people who ride in warm weather. For winter, you might choose an insulated glove.
Things to look for when purchasing a good motorcycle glove are:
- Correct size
- Construction – Extra padding on the knuckles, removable lining, and straps for sealing off around the wrist, waterproof so you want have to buy rain gloves that are specific to the wet conditions
Obviously, there other protective motorcycle accessories you might consider such as leather chaps, leather jackets, and boots. Motorcycle accessories can be purchased from a dealer or direct from motorcycle websites.
