This is the helmet I use when I'm just tooling around town. I have gotten quite a few double takes based on the appearance of the artwork on it. It's got eyes and fangs and just looks like a creature coming down the road at ya. The mirrored visor is good for keeping the sun or glare out of my eyes when I'm not wearing sunglasses underneath. It's easily removable in order to swap out for a clear one, but I prefer the mirrored one. It's a bit larger than my other helmet but still fits snugly and securely on my head. It was a little pricey when I bought it at $350 dollars, ...

This is a great helmet!  All of the protective qualities of a full face with the benefits of a 3/4.  When you are riding, lock the chin bar down in position.  When you stop, you can lift it up to talk and cool off your face.  The face shield still raises and lowers in addition to the chin bar to give maximum flexibility.   There is only one button to press to raise it up making it very user friendly.This helmet comes with ear pads of different sizes so you can customize it for your comfort.  I find it makes getting it on and off a lot easier to have the ch...

The HJC CL-14 features a lightweight injection molded polycarbonate composite shell, it meets both Snell and DOT qualifications, has a channeled dual-density EPS liner, and an aerodynamic shell shape with a larger eye port for greater visibility.  Many different visors are available, though it comes with a clear visor; mirrored, smoky, or colored visors are available separately. I found this helmet on ebay for a great price, and find it to be a good beginner's helmet.  This is my first motorcycle helmet, and while I find that it provides more than adequate protection and comfo...

I received the Vanson Mark 2 Cobra jacket as a gift and amazingly, it fit perfect.  Vanson patented their Air Curtain which allows riders to unzip inside panels on the front of the jacket to stay cool in very warm weather.  The front of the jacket has the competition weight PROperf front and they used the same leather as used on the AMA-approved race suits.  The jacket also has a waist band that you can adjust based on comfort or weight. Any Vanson Body Armor will fit this jacket, which is a major plus.  Hard armor is recommended for ideal safety.  If you are still ...

When deciding what to wear while riding my motorcycle, comfort came in at a close second to safety. The Joe Rocket Ballistic jacket is lightweight and functional. It's made from a breathable mesh but has plenty of padding throughout to prevent road rash. Thankfully, I haven't had to test the theory out, but it's light enough to wear in warm weather while still offering the protection I need. The jackets come in a variety of colors and mine is read to match my bike. It fits well and the zippers and snaps all stay out of the way so I don't get snagged on anything while I'm...
