World of motorbikes and world of cars are two completely different parties that have to live together on the basics of common traffic regulations. While cars are safer and, well, easier to drive, motorcycles are so much more exiting, that we can’t discard them in the search for interesting gadgets. The appeal also hides in the fact that you can’t just jump on a bike and take off. Proper biker is well equipped. The helmets, the vests, the gloves, etc. all of it has to undergo tests and approving arrangements before they appear on the shelves. What we want then is a place where motorcycle equipment would be gathered together and sold for reasonable price. LeatherUp.com is what we came across recently.LeatherUp.com is an online store that has been successfully dealing leather and motorcycle gear for years now. That means their business relationships with manufacturers allow them to sell everything from boots to helmets at significantly lower price than found in retail stores. The good thing about LeatherUp.com is also that they are not dedicated to one particular style.
If you have a chopper or a classic Fat Boy, an open face helmet is suitable. Prices start at 29.95 USD for Outlaw helmets and end up at 346.49 for a Shoei. Other brands like HJC or Hawk also available. Mind you by the way that all Motorcycle Helmets are DOT approved and are presented in a wide range of sizes and paint jobs. As for open face helmets, there are also stylish WWII German Helmets.
Choice of full face helmets is as wide. Entry point here is 39.95 for a Bell Zephyr. Prices go all the way through helmets for youngsters and motocross helmets to carbon fiber beauty from HJC. FS-15 Carbon will set you back 413.99 dollars but is made with same thorough as professional motorsport units.
Story with Leather Vests is a bit different however. There is much less room for innovation and technology, but anyway there is. Here is where: Tourmaster managed to create a vest with infrared heatfor only 125.99 USD. Synergy as they have called it can be safely plugged in a standard 12-volt system. Staying worm under drizzle is as good as staying maneuverable. Synergy has a very thin heating layer so it is very flexible and won’t disturb from driving.
