Street & Steel Kickstarter Riding Shoes

There are good riding shoes out there for very little money, and the Street & Steel Kickstarter riding shoes are just that.

I’ve talked a lot about riding shoes and motorcycle boots on this blog, and the common theme is that you don’t have to spend an arm and a leg.

These shoes may look like some simple street shoes but they were made for motorcycle riders.

Let’s take a closer look at these shoes and what they offer to an urban motorcyclist.

Casual Moto Wear: 5 Harley-Davidson Converse Shoes

There are plenty of Harley-Davidson motorcycle shoes and casual shoes out there, but one type of shoe that recently caught my eye was the Harley-Davidson Converse shoes listed on their website.

These aren’t Converse shoes officially, but they feature the same style while also offering Harley-Davidson branding.

They’re a really great option if you like both Harley-Davidson gear and you like Converse shoes. So, let’s take a look at these shoes and some great options Harley sells.

20% Off Bell Helmets: Deals and Discounts on Motorcycle Gear

I’m always looking at motorcycle gear, and I noticed that Revzilla is offering some killer deals on Bell Helmets right now.

The deal the company has going right now is 20 percent off select Bell Helmets, but there are certain bell helmets that are offered at even steeper discounts.

Let’s take a look at the deals that are currently available.

Klim Induction Gloves

Recently, I wrote an article about the Klim Induction Jacket, but there’s also offers the Klim Induction Gloves. A fair number of you seemed to really like the Induction Jacket, so I thought it best to do a post on the gloves, too.

These are great for summer, and feature good airflow and protection. if you need some top-quality short-cuff gloves, then I’d suggest you take a closer look at these gloves.

Let’s dive into the details.

Arai XD-4 Helmet

Looking for an amazing adventure riding motorcycle helmet? The Arai XD-4 helmet is quite simply one of the best.

Arai makes fantastic helmets. My colleague Jim Pruner fairly recently went to the Arai headquarters in Japan to check it out. He came away impressed, and I was impressed by his article about the experience.

That and the other various reviews out there extoll the virtues of the Arai XD-4. With that in mind, Let’s take a look at what makes it so great.

Casual Moto Wear: 3 Dainese T-Shirts

There are plenty of great gear brands out there, but Dainese is one that stands out. The company also has some great casual clothing as well, including some fantastic Dainese T-shirts.

So, you’ll never see me on a bike without at least a helmet, gloves, boots, and a jacket. With that said, you’ll also likely see me rocking some casual moto wear from time to time.

That’s why I thought it could be cool to do a post about my favorite Dainese T-shirts. Check out my picks below.

Oxford Toledo 1.0 Mesh Jacket

Earlier this week I showcased one of the more expensive mesh jacket options out there. Today I thought I’d take a look at the other end of the pricing spectrum for mesh jackets. What you find is the Oxford Toledo 1.0 Mesh Jacket.

The Toledo 1.0 Mesh Jacket is under $100 at some retailers and under $200 at others, and it offers a whole lot of features to love. There’s some good materials and what appears to be good construction, too.

If you’re on a budget, this could be a great option for you.

Klim Induction Jacket

It’s starting to get pretty warm out there, and mesh motorcycle jackets—if you have one—will become your best friend. If you don’t have a mesh jacket, I suggest the Klim Induction Jacket.

This jacket is excellent for warm weather because Klim’s Karbonite mesh material moves tons of air. It’s also quite strong, so it offers good abrasion resistance.

Overall, this is a killer jacket that you should consider for your summer riding. There are other mesh jackets out there, but this one puts most of them to shame.

Finding the Right One-Piece Motorcycle Suit for the Street

Are you looking for a killer one-piece motorcycle suit? You’re not alone. While one-piece suits are common for racers, you’ll see fewer riders out on the road wearing them. That doesn’t mean they’re not really nice to have. For commuting and touring purposes, a one-piece suit can make all the difference.

Commuters face all kinds of weather, and so do touring riders. Because of that, you need something that’s highly versatile instead of highly specialized. One-piece motorcycle suits are just that.

They’re not the best in every situation, but they will do pretty well. That’s why I recommend every motorcyclist have a one-piece riding suit in their closet. Let’s take a closer look at one-piece riding suits and some good options.

Best Motorcycle Camping Sleeping Bags

I’ve written about motorcycle camping before, but one thing I didn’t touch on was motorcycle camping sleeping bags.

These types of sleeping bags are specifically designed for sleeping outdoors. While many of the brands that make them don’t always have motorcyclists in mind, they have some kind of active outdoor sport in mind, whether it be mountain climbing, hiking, or backpacking.

These activities provide a similar camping situation to that of the motorcyclist. That’s why many of these sleeping bags make for good motorcycle camping sleeping bags. However, there are some things you should know.
