One of the most important things after getting the bike of your dream is – the special motor clothes – to which you should also pay enough attention. Good defensive motor equipment and motor clothes for bikers are being sold for many years. But whether there are many bikers who have sufficient experience and knowledge to understand the technology of materials, design and the reasons causing injuries? How to distinguish in the motor shop, the motor jacket, which has protective properties from a jacket which just looks as a protective one?
European standards establish minimum levels of performance for various characteristics for motor protective clothing and equipment, which guarantee that the product provides an adequate level of protection. Clothes, boots, gloves and protective tread which have been tested and have recognized markings will be less risky, as opposed to buying products, which does not have any standard markings. By choosing the correct clothing you chose a reliable atmosphere while riding on your bike.
Personal Protective Equipment Directive explains in detail what motor clothes for bikers is a protective and which is not protective clothing. In this aspect the points of the Directive are defined clearly and in detail. After lengthy discussions with the European Commission, industry groups and bikers associations were negotiated agreement, which clearly classifies clothing for bikers.
From a practical standpoint, clothing for bikers is divided into three groups:

• Not protective, or is not protecting. The upper garments, which creates a protective barrier to weather factors: heat, cold, wind and rain. Is very important and should be reliable and of a high quality.
• Not protective, or is not protecting staffed with anti shock treads with CE marking. This category includes not protective, or is not protecting clothes (as in paragraph 1), but staffed with certified tread marked CE in the area of shoulders, elbows, knees or back.
• Protective. Motor jackets, motor pants, or complete motor overalls or suits of the two items, boots and gloves, which are called the protective clothing. Such motor clothing is tested in accordance with the European standard (or in accordance with the standard of Cambridge, or to the standard SATRA), and is CE-marked.
