Although it can be tempting to dress relaxed or in light clothing to stay cool, especially in the summer, protection of your body in the event of a crash is most important. Also, riding a motorcycle exposes you to an increased risk of sun and wind burn, so it is a good idea to cover as much of the skin as possible in:
Protective jacket, ideally made of leather
Full-length pants
Heavy-duty shoes or boots (do not wear flip flops on a motorcycle)
Leather gloves or gloves specifically designed for motorcycle riding
Protective eyewear – goggles, glasses, or your helmet’s face shield
