6kiom gives the full guidelines on Know your size in riding gear

Hey, thanks for commenting! Here’s what you need to know:!

When it comes to riding gear, getting the right size is crucial for comfort, safety, and performance.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you determine the size of all your riding gear:

  • Helmet: Use a flexible tape measure to measure your head’s circumference (in cm) just above your eyebrows and ears. Then, check the manufacturer’s size chart for the corresponding helmet size.
  • Jacket: Measure your chest at its widest point, usually just under your armpits. Also, measure your waist. Use the manufacturer’s size chart measurements to find your jacket size. Remember to consider whether you’ll be wearing extra layers underneath.
  • Pants: Measure your waist at its narrowest point (usually above your belly button) and your inseam (from the crotch to the bottom of your ankle). Use these measurements on the manufacturer’s chart to find your pant size. These measurements will help you find the right size of pants. Ensure the pants allow for ease of movement while sitting on your bike.
  • Gloves: Measure the circumference of your dominant hand, typically around the widest part of your palm. Check the manufacturer’s size chart for the corresponding glove size. Keep in mind that gloves should fit snugly but not be too tight (0.2 to 0.5 cm gap at the fingertips)
  • Boots: Measure the length of your foot from heel to longest toe and the width at the widest part. Compare these measurements to the manufacturer’s size chart to find your boot size (If you have wider feet, you’ll have to go a size up). Remember that motorcycle boots often fit differently than regular shoes, so be sure to try them on if possible.
  • Armour and Protection: For items like chest protectors, knee guards, and elbow pads, follow the manufacturer’s guidelines for sizing. These items should fit securely without restricting movement.
  • Full Suit: When purchasing a one-piece riding suit, follow the sizing guidelines for the jacket and pants. Make sure the suit allows for a full range of motion when in a riding position.

Remember, sizing can vary between brands, so always refer to the specific manufacturer’s size chart for the most accurate fit.

If you need more time, many retailers offer sizing guides and customer service assistance to help you find the right size.
