Riding a motorcycle during the summer requires specific equipment that combines coolness and protection. In Spain, although only helmets and gloves are mandatory by law, it is highly advisable to use approved garments that guarantee our safety in the event of an accident.
Ventilated jacket with windproof lining: High temperatures require jackets made with mesh fabrics that allow optimal ventilation. Ideally, they should have a detachable windproof lining to adapt to sudden changes in climate. They must also comply with the EN 17092 standard, which classifies garments according to their level of protection, AAA being the highest (although it will never be found in a summer jacket).
Technical pants: Like the jackets, pants must be breathable and equipped with hip and knee protectors. EN 17092 certification also applies here, ensuring abrasion and impact resistance.
Gloves and boots: Gloves, mandatory according to Spanish legislation, must be light, ventilated and have knuckle and palm protection, complying with EN13594. Boots, on the other hand, must cover the ankle, offer good ventilation and be made of wear-resistant materials.
ECE 22.06 approved helmet: If you are thinking of buying a new helmet, make sure it complies with the ECE 22.06 standard, which establishes more rigorous tests in terms of impact resistance and general safety. In addition, it is important that, if you are going to use it in summer, you look for a helmet with a good number of vents.
