Riding Gear with an English Tilt

Amongst all the black leather costumes, colorful motocross jerseys and synthetic mishmash of motorcycle clothing it's refreshing to find an outlet for genuine, well made riding gear.

British Motorcycle Gear offers a unique collection of authentic riding gear and apparel from famous names like Belstaff and Barbour. Their own line of apparel features hard-core adventure gear, retro cafe racer leather and casual coverings for hanging out at the local pub.

We got to look over some of their line at the recent Dallas Motorcycle Show. One of their most impressive products is the Adventure Jacket.

Originally designed for the Paris-Dakar Rallye, the jacket is designed to be your outer garment, or shell. You can choose to wear the provided windbreaker underneath, your own armor or none of the above. For this reason it's considered one of the most versatile jackets around and very light weight. It sports pockets galore, shoulder and elbow pads, an integral hydration pack, removable sleeves and Scotchlite galore.

The quality of this jacket is well above average. For the price, it's excellent. The fit and finish are on par with gear costing twice as much. Available in orange or blue, it really looks great with a BMW GS, Multistrada, Super Duke or KLR650 underneath!
