Things to consider when looking AT RETRO-STYLED riding gear.

Style: Classic motorcycle gear spans a spectrum of styles, catering to road cruisers, urban explorers, tour enthusiasts, and speed demons alike. The essence lies in finding gear that complements your riding persona and preferences. Whether it's the timeless leather look or a blend of textiles, your gear should seamlessly align with your classic style.

Primary Construction: In the realm of classic motorcycle gear, construction holds the key to combine durability, performance and styling. Traditional textiles, mesh fabrics, and perforated leathers form the foundation, allowing breathability while maintaining sturdiness. Modern proprietary materials, such as CORDURA, Kevlar® and Dyneema-infused fabrics, bring a contemporary touch, offering abrasion resistance that rivals the resilience of leather.

Secondary Construction: While primary construction sets the stage, secondary elements like sweat-wicking liners and reinforced overlays play a pivotal role in enhancing a garment's prowess. These elements not only boost durability but also contribute to rider comfort and protection. They're the intricate details that bring todays classic-styled motorcycling gear into the present.

Armour: Armour, is a cornerstone of modern-day classic riding gear: enabling these garments to meet modern-day safety requirements. Designed to shield against impacts, the range of available armour types ensures varied levels of protection.
