Motorcycle Racing Suits and Jackets

That being said, today's racing suits for men online and apparel are designed taking this into consideration, and they compensate for giving you the best possible protection in the most likely places vulnerable to injury. The basic principle is to design garments which will pad the exposed body parts, and allow for a clean slide on asphalt or dirt without bunching up or tearing to shreds.

Racing suits for men online should come with some kind of body armor either repaired inside the jacket, or removable.

When considering the purchase of a racing jacket and/or suit, be sure the armor is CE approved.

In the very least, a racing jacket should have protective armor at the shoulders and elbows, and pants should have protection at the knee and hip. In the case of a two-piece racing suit, the bottom will be zipped to the jacket, to enable the garment to act as one piece during a slide.

Back protectors are not often utilized in racing suits for men online, but there is in certain jackets a place to insert one. Since most spinal injuries are caused by blows to the extremities as opposed to direct impact to the back, the back protector is better suited for protection from flying projectiles, and thus is often made from tough plastics.

Another significant consideration for a racing jacket is the comfort factor.

Motorcycle jackets are usually made from a combination of substances, the basis of which is leather. Kevlar stitching can be used to ensure the strength of the seams, and patches of Kevlar or other high-pressure synthetic materials are used on particularly vulnerable areas such as the shoulders, elbows, and knees. Stretch panels of various materials are often employed at strategic locations such as under the arms and in the knee to promote ease of movement in extreme conditions.

Because black leather has a natural tendency to be hot, racing suits for men online tend to be much more colorful than your typical black leather jacket, using combinations of colors, obviously to attract attention to a particular racer, but also in part to reflect the heat of the sun rays.

With modern synthetics gaining in popularity, many racers are choosing these tough and durable substances over leather because of their coolness, lightweight, and waterproof characteristics.

Whereas today's modern day motorcycle racing apparel apply all the technological know how to maintain the racer secure and comfortable, racing jackets are also popular within the traditional biker community. Just a little bit of armor not hurts, and because many jackets use removable armor, so you do not need to seem robotic in your local biker bar. Additionally, you don't need to be stick with basic black, the colorful styles found in the racing jacket genre add another layer of coolness for the biker to choose from!
