Are your motorcycle helmets DOT certified?

Yes, all our motorcycle helmets meet or exceed DOT (Department of Transportation) safety standards. We carry DOT-certified helmets from trusted brands, ensuring maximum protection for riders. Many of our helmets also feature ECE 22.05 or 22.06 certification for international safety compliance.

What does CE-rated motorcycle gear mean?

CE-rated motorcycle gear meets European safety standards (CE - Conformité Européenne). Our CE-certified jackets, pants, and protective gear include impact-absorbing armor in critical areas like shoulders, elbows, back, knees, and hips. CE Level 1 armor absorbs up to 18kN of impact, while CE Level 2 absorbs up to 9kN, providing superior crash protection.

Do you offer free shipping on motorcycle gear?

Yes, we offer free shipping on all orders over $150 within the continental United States. Orders are typically processed within 1-2 business days and delivered within 5-7 business days via standard shipping. Expedited shipping options are available at checkout for faster delivery.

What is your return policy for motorcycle gear?

We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all motorcycle gear. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you can return unused items in original condition for a full refund. Items must have all tags attached and be free from wear, dirt, or damage. We provide prepaid return labels for your convenience. Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days of receiving the returned item.

How do I choose the right motorcycle helmet size?

To find your helmet size, measure the circumference of your head at its widest point (about 1 inch above your eyebrows). Use a flexible tape measure and reference our size chart: Small (55-56cm / 21.7-22in), Medium (57-58cm / 22.4-22.8in), Large (59-60cm / 23.2-23.6in), XL (61-62cm / 24-24.4in). A properly fitted helmet should feel snug but not uncomfortably tight, with no pressure points. The helmet should not move when you shake your head side to side.

What motorcycle gear do beginner riders need?

Essential gear for beginner riders includes: (1) DOT-certified full-face helmet for maximum protection, (2) CE-rated motorcycle jacket with armor at shoulders, elbows, and back, (3) Reinforced motorcycle gloves with knuckle protection, (4) Riding pants with knee and hip armor, (5) Over-the-ankle motorcycle boots with non-slip soles. We recommend starting with our Beginner Confidence Builder bundle, which includes all safety essentials at a discounted price. Visibility is also crucial - choose gear with reflective elements for riding in low-light conditions.

Is your motorcycle gear waterproof for rain riding?

We carry both waterproof and water-resistant motorcycle gear. Waterproof jackets and pants feature sealed seams and waterproof membranes (like Gore-Tex or proprietary waterproof linings) to keep you dry in heavy rain. Water-resistant gear repels light rain but may not hold up in prolonged downpours. Check individual product descriptions for waterproof ratings. For all-weather riding, we recommend our Adventure Tourer Kit which includes 100% waterproof jacket and pants with taped seams and storm flaps.

How do I care for leather motorcycle gear?

To maintain leather motorcycle gear: (1) Clean with a damp cloth and mild leather cleaner after each ride to remove dirt and road grime, (2) Apply leather conditioner every 3-6 months to prevent cracking and maintain suppleness, (3) Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, (4) Never machine wash - hand clean only, (5) For waterproofing, use leather-specific waterproofing spray and reapply seasonally. Always remove armor inserts before cleaning. Proper care extends the life of your leather gear and maintains its protective qualities.

Can I use motorcycle gear for daily commuting?

Absolutely! Our Daily Commuter collection is specifically designed for urban riders who ride to work daily. Look for gear with: (1) CE-certified armor for safety in traffic, (2) Reflective elements for visibility during rush hour, (3) Ventilation for comfort in stop-and-go traffic, (4) Waterproof or water-resistant materials for unpredictable weather, (5) Quick-dry fabrics that don't retain odors. Many daily commuters prefer textile jackets over leather for versatility and easier maintenance. Our commuter gear is also designed to look professional off the bike.

What's the difference between full-face and modular helmets?

Full-face helmets provide maximum protection with a fixed chin bar and are ideal for highway riding and sport riding. They offer superior aerodynamics and noise reduction. Modular (flip-up) helmets feature a hinged chin bar that flips up, combining the protection of a full-face with the convenience of an open-face helmet. Modular helmets are great for touring riders who want to easily communicate at gas stops without removing the helmet. Both types are DOT-certified, but full-face helmets generally offer slightly better impact protection due to their one-piece construction.

Is this product DOT certified?

Yes, all our helmets and protective gear meet DOT FMVSS-218 safety standards. DOT certification ensures the product has been tested for impact resistance, penetration resistance, and retention system effectiveness. This certification is mandatory for motorcycle helmets sold in the United States.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy. If you're not completely satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 30 days for a full refund. The product must be unused and in its original packaging. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is defective.

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping typically takes 5-7 business days within the continental United States. We offer free shipping on orders over $150. Express shipping options are available at checkout for faster delivery (2-3 business days). International shipping is available and delivery times vary by destination.

How do I choose the right size?

We provide detailed size charts for all our products. For helmets, measure the circumference of your head just above your eyebrows. For jackets and gloves, refer to our size guide which includes measurements for chest, waist, and arm length. If you're between sizes, we recommend sizing up for comfort. Contact our customer support team if you need personalized sizing advice.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes, we provide a 1-year manufacturer's warranty on all products. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. The warranty does not cover damage from accidents, misuse, or normal wear and tear. To make a warranty claim, contact our customer support team with your order number and photos of the defect.

Trusted by professional racers and street riders worldwide for the ultimate safety upgrade.

Technical Specifications

Key Features

Millisecond Deployment: CO2 airbag inflates in less than 0.3 seconds upon crash detection - faster than your body hits the ground. Provides cushioning protection during the most critical moment of impact.
360° Torso Protection: Airbag coverage wraps around chest, back, spine, shoulders, and ribs. Absorbs impact energy that would otherwise transfer directly to vital organs and spine.
Mechanical Tether System: Reliable deployment mechanism connects to your motorcycle. No batteries, no electronics, no charging required. Works in all weather conditions including rain and extreme cold.
Fully Reusable: After deployment, simply install a new CO2 cartridge (sold separately) and the vest is ready for use again. Cost-effective protection over years of riding.
Universal Jacket Compatibility: Wear over your leather jacket for maximum convenience, or under textile jackets for streamlined fit. Works with all riding positions - sport bikes, cruisers, touring, adventure bikes.
Reflective Safety Elements: High-visibility reflective panels increase visibility to other vehicles during day and night riding. Essential for commuters and touring riders.

Who Is This For?

Essential for track day riders and racers seeking professional-grade protection approved by racing organizations worldwide. Critical for sport bike riders who regularly ride at high speeds on highways and mountain roads. Highly recommended for adventure touring riders tackling off-road terrain where crashes are more likely. Smart choice for daily commuters navigating unpredictable urban traffic. Trusted by riders who understand that airbag technology provides exponentially better protection than armor alone.

How the Airbag Vest Works

Before Riding: Connect the tether cord between the vest and a fixed point on your motorcycle (frame, handlebar, etc.). The cord is designed to detach at 60-80 lbs of force.
During Normal Riding: The tether remains connected. The vest is comfortable and doesn't restrict movement. Ride normally without thinking about it.
If You Crash: When you separate from the motorcycle (fall, collision, slide), the tether pulls with force exceeding the threshold. This triggers the CO2 cartridge to instantly inflate the airbag around your torso.
After Deployment: The inflated airbag cushions your impact with the ground, vehicles, or obstacles. Replace the CO2 cartridge and reset the mechanism to reuse the vest.

What's Included

Airbag safety vest with integrated CO2 system
Mechanical tether cord
Mounting hardware for motorcycle attachment
User manual with setup instructions
Size adjustment straps

Important: CO2 gas cylinder NOT included with purchase. CO2 cartridges are sold separately and available at motorcycle shops, sporting goods stores, or online. Standard CO2 cartridge size is required (typically 50-60cc depending on vest size).

Care & Maintenance Instructions

Inspect tether cord before each ride for wear or damage. Check CO2 cartridge is properly installed and has not been triggered. Clean outer shell with damp cloth - do NOT machine wash. Store in cool, dry place when not in use. Replace tether cord annually or after 20,000 miles. Have airbag system inspected by professional after any deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will this deploy accidentally?
A: No. The tether requires significant force (typical airbag vest threshold) to trigger deployment. Normal riding, getting off the bike slowly, or moderate tugs won't trigger it. However, always disconnect the tether before dismounting.

Q: Can I wear this under my leather jacket?
A: Yes! The vest is designed to fit under most textile jackets or over leather jackets. Many riders prefer wearing it over their jacket for easier access and quicker deployment. Check your jacket size to ensure compatibility.

Q: How much does a replacement CO2 cartridge cost?
A: CO2 cartridges are available at motorcycle shops and online retailers depending on size and where you purchase. They're available at motorcycle shops, sporting goods stores, paintball suppliers, and online retailers. One cartridge = one deployment.

Q: Is this approved for track days?
A: Many track day organizations and racing series approve airbag vests as acceptable protection. However, requirements vary by organization. Check with your specific track day organizer before attending.

Q: What happens if I forget to disconnect the tether when I park?
A: If you dismount with the tether connected, it will deploy the airbag when you reach the end of the cord length. This is harmless but will require installing a new CO2 cartridge. Always disconnect before dismounting.

Q: Does this work for off-road riding?
A: Absolutely! Airbag vests are excellent for off-road, adventure riding, and dual-sport use where falls and crashes are more common. The mechanical tether system works regardless of terrain.

Q: How do I know what size CO2 cartridge to buy?
A: Check the vest's user manual or label inside the vest for the exact CO2 cartridge size required. Most adult-size vests use 50-60cc cartridges. Using the wrong size may result in incomplete inflation.
