Clothing Review: BMW TourShell Jacket and Pants

I spend a lot of time touring on my motorcycle in all kinds of weather. I live in Canada, but love riding all over the United States. My gear has to be comfortable, and keep me safe, warm and dry.

Racer Gloves are for any street rider—cruiser, sportbike, or sport touring—with styles available for men and women. I tested the women’s “Warm Up” glove, one of two designed for cooler weather.

Product Review: My Favorite Leather Motorcycle Riding Pants

All right, full disclosure upfront: Harley-Davidson’s FXRG leather overpants for women are more expensive than most riding pants and chaps. They’re also one of the most functional and comfortable riding pants I’ve ever worn, making them well worth the investment of four beans!
