Here some basic items for safety riding gear
- Helmet
- Jacket
- Glove
- Pants
- Boots
HELMET
We start with the basic ones. Helmet. Every motorcyclist requires to wear it all the time while you ride. This law applied all over the world. Basically, in Malaysia, its cost you the price around RM70-RM3000, depending on the type of helmet, and the brand.
(This usually used by Motard Riders)
(This type of helmet usually used by Cruse or Easy Ride Riders)
( Full Face Helmet. Highly recommended for those who rides Super Bike or any fast big bike)
JACKET
After unsure that your head and face are fully protected, now its time to take care your body. Safety jacket also important to all riders. Some of the safety jacket has light reflection, which is highly recommended to those who travel at night. In Malaysia, the cost is RM100 to RM1000++, depends on the type and brand as well.
Motard Style
(For off road where mostly used by Motard Riders. It has chest protector and designed for adsorb fall impact)
GP Style
(This jacket used by most super bikers and fast big bikes. Design to adsorb damage that caused by speed. Some of it contains elbow guard)
Easy Ride Style
(For those who 'Style Comes First', this is your choice. Built using leather component, and become a good choice for those who ride easy ride and cruise big bikes.)
GLOVE
Gloves are important too. Its protect your fingers, and your hand. Technically its all about style, but it can be your safety to if you wear this glove. You can din those glove in price around Rm50++ to Rm500.
(There are different types of glove available but I strongly recommended you to wear the full glove because it protects your fingers as well.)
PANTS
Pants could be important, but least concern. Any pants could be as long that you wear long pants. If you not using the one that design for super bike, you can just simply use jeans or long pants, as long that you wear knee protector.
But If you have extra money why don't you just buy the one that designed for super bike. It has knee protector as well so its more safe for you if you wear this on your riding.
)This leather pants usually used by easy ride or cruise rider)
(And this type of pants usually used by who love to ride fast)
If you don't have specific pants, knee guard will do. But make sure you have the fully protected ones.
BOOT
Boot is the easiest or cheapest riding gear that you must have. If you can't afford to own boot, you just can wear shoes. It doesn't matter as long that you not using slipper or bare foot. But a pair of boot is strongly recommended to you since shoes only protect you feet, not your ankles. But boot protects bot of your feet and ankles.So have some money, get you own boot. In Malaysia you can find around RM120 to RM550.
This boots are for super bikers or motard riders.
This stylist boots are for easy riders or cruiser riders that who love to ride in style.
CONCLUSIONS
(Just click the photo to enlarge if the images not so clear)
So let's jump to our conclusion. What is your reason not to wear complete riding gear? Expensive? If you say these are expensive and not worth, lets compare this;
Cost for riding gear (Lets take the cheapest but recommended one)
- Helmet (RM300)
- Jacket (RM450)
- Glove (RM120)
- Pants (RM200)
- Boots (RM150)
But how about you without safety riding gear
- Without helmet (RM300) you lost eyes, skull and brains.
- Without jacket (RM450) you lost heart, lungs, ribs, liver and stomach also your arm are fully exposed.
- Without glove (RM120) you lost fingers and hand, which is much valuable.
- Without pants (RM200) you might lost you knee, and also expensive damage to your @#%. Its you important part, man!
- Without your boots (RM150) you lost your feet and ankles.
So think again. Motorcycle has high risk than car. Don't be that cheap. Just think how much it cost you if you lost any of your organ in you body. A heart could be RM100,000. That if only anyone wants to sell it to you. So be safe riders. Have a nice day!
