BOOTS HELP
SAVE ANKLES
Whether you ride a 50cc moped or a 1200cc
superbike, riding in your everyday clothes
puts you at real risk of serious injury.
Good quality biking leathers offer the best
all-round protection, but can be impractical for
some people. However, there are alternatives
that can shield you from both impact and
abrasion – the most common causes of injury.
ABRASION – There is now a wide range of
textiles that offer abrasion protection, from
rugged-looking biker gear to more casual
Kevlar-weave jeans.
IMPACT – Body armour can provide impact
protection by absorbing and spreading the
force of a direct blow.
NEVER RIDE
WITHOUT THE
RIGHT GLOVES
The first thing you do in a crash is put your
hands out to protect yourself – it’s instinct.
Unfortunately, fingers and wrists are fragile,
so it doesn’t take much for them to sustain
long-term damage.
Most bike stores sell bike gloves for both
winter and summertime so you can protect
your hands all year round. Of course, it’s
important that gloves offer protection without
reducing your ability to operate the controls.
10987_Motorcycle_6pp_aw6.indd 2
Make sure the boots you wear are sturdy and
above ankle-height to provide support and
protection for the ankle area.
If possible, before buying boots, try wearing
them while sitting on your bike in your normal
riding position to make sure you can easily
operate the foot controls.

GET A
HIGHLY
RATED
HELMET
To make sure you’re getting the best helmet
for your money, look out for the independent
SHARP rating system.
Choosing a helmet that fits correctly is
important too. If it moves around on your
head, it won’t offer the best protection in
a crash, no matter how high its star rating.
For more information about the SHARP rating
system along with examples
of affordable and highly
rated helmets, visit
www.direct.gov.uk/sharp
Look out for the CE label – proof it has been
tested to European standards. Check whether
it applies to the whole garment or just part of it.

quality gear, visit:

In a crash, it’s common for ankles to break and
feet to get crushed, so shielding them is vital.
