YOUR best motorcycle riding kit! Bennetts High Performance Award Bennetts BikeSocial 2023-04-24 | When you’re buying motorcycle clothing there’s a good chance the protective performance is part of your decision-making process. After all, if it’s not, why are you spending your cash on bike kit at all? Why not just wear ‘normal’ clothes if you're not interested in the protective performance, and maybe buy a hiking jacket if you want to stay dry?The fact is that most of us are well aware that shorts and a tee-shirt are a bad idea, so we want to know how safe the riding gear we buy might be. With four different standards to understand it can get quite confusing, but thanks to the Bennetts High Performance award, it’s now much easier to choose the motorcycle kit that best suits YOUR needs…No riding gear can guarantee your safety, and every crash is different, but lab testing can help you compare the products you're buying, and make an informed choice based on comfort, value, features and protective performance.To access the High Performance Award database, visit: www.bennetts.co.uk/high-performanceChapter:00:00 What MUST you wear to ride a motorcycle03:00 Raising the ceiling for protective performance04:45 The bike gear eligible for the Bennetts High Performance Award06:15 What motorcycle riding kit should YOU buy?08:40 What I choose to wear when riding a motorbike09:26 Bike kit brands are striving for better protection10:47 How to apply for the Bennetts High Performance Award11:30 Why understanding protective performance is important12:34 What UK road surfaces are like: research results16:35 The type of roads Britain's riders like most17:10 The areas of your body that are protected in a crash18:10 Why it's NOT all about the speed or distance of a slideBike insurance due this month?
