We all wear protective clothing/gear either by Brand Name,Price, Comfort or Fashion be it Jackets, Jeans, Boots etc. but it is interesting to note that the big names and expensive gear don't necessarily go hand in hand with what is being advertised as 5 star protection !!
I was amazed at some of the results of tests conducted by a group called MOTOCAP.COM.AU.
I would strongly suggest that club members log on to this site and check out the comparisons and results of protective motorcycle gear before investing big amounts of your hard earned cash on items that may not achieve the acceptable levels of protection you are looking for.
It may well assist you when out shopping for new gear?
