You’re in the market for a motorcycle jacket. You’ve done your research, know what features you want, and even settle on a style.

The best gear is the gear you wear – so with that in mind, the 2 things to remember when shopping for motorcycle jackets with armor are: how much protection it offers (obviously) and how comfortable is it to wear. If you also end up with a good price it’s a keeper. One of the top concerns when having to choose any type of protective gear when riding a bike is: how will it feel? Aside from how you’ll look wearing the full-body armor when you go in to pick up your coffee, protective gear has to be comfortable. What’s…

Part of the reason why the book Men Are From Mars And Women Are From Venus went on to become a household name is because a lot of folks really do think that men and women are that different. Of course, we know as much as you do that that’s BS. Men are mostly from Earth. And women are mostly from Earth. Our differences are nowhere near as large enough to warrant belonging to different planets. Our differences in clothing, however, may as well be. Think about it. Ladies, how many times have you gotten jealous over the fact that…

For non-bikers, a motorcycle jacket is nothing more than a fashion statement, though it is a uniform of sorts for bikers. It serves as a piece of protective clothing and getting one requires several considerations other than just making you look good.

These jackets also come in various styles and materials, and what you pick will be a matter of preference. Of course, getting the right fit is also very important. Read on to…

The Perfecto Cigar is a cigar with a name that is partly self-explanatory. The beautiful shape of the cigar- its closed foot, bulging midsection and tapered head- make it among the most unique in the world. Designed by the most experienced cigar rollers with a degree of patience only decades of practice can instill, the Perfecto is one of the most enjoyed cigars by casuals and enthusiasts alike. But why did we start an article on motorcycle jackets with a paragraph about a cigar? Because the first motorcycle jacket in history was named after the Perfecto cigar. Irving Schott, a…

It took me about 30 minutes to learn the basics of riding a motorcycle. But to learn how to ride it well? That takes a long time. My MSF class happened decades ago, and I’m still learning. The barrier of entry for learning is ridiculously low for a motorcycle, but the learning curve goes on forever. And that’s because there is a truckload of things you need to keep in mind when you’re on a bike that you don’t when you’re in a car. Cars don’t tip over when you make mistakes. They also don’t tip over when some other…

The airbag has substantial foam material fitted in its front and rear. On airbag inflation, the exterior takes on a tough and hard feel, while the insides are softer and more protective for the skin. Air channels beneath its posterior and rear portions carry…
