Welcome to Motorcycle Thermal - your guide to the best motorcycle thermal and heated clothing. Motorcycle thermal and heated clothing provides the typical motorcyclist with an excellent defense against the cold, increasing rider comfort and safety.
Wind chill, low ambient temperatures, wet weather and inadequate thermal motorcycle riding gear can contribute to a motorcyclist becoming uncomfortably cold.
Motorcycle thermal clothing could be classed as winter riding clothing but is often just as useful during other seasons, for example, a summers evening where the temperature drops considerably. Riding whilst cold significantly detracts from the enjoyment of motorcycling. More significantly, riding whilst suffering from the effects of cold can seriously affect safety due to impaired mental and physical capabilities, ultimately leading towards a dangerous state of hypothermia. The cold can reduce reaction times and can promote a desire to ride faster in an effort to complete the journey in a shorter time. A little knowledge and some good quality motorcycle thermal and heated clothing can provide the average motorcyclist with a more comfortable, safer riding experience.
A variety of motorcycle thermal clothing products are available to provide thermal protection of hands, feet, lower torso, upper torso and head. To complement the heat retention properties provided by motorcycle thermal clothing, heated clothing and accessories offer a means to supply the body with additional heat.
Motorcyclist will know that the hands are one of the first areas to feel the effects of
cold. Heated grips in combination with motorcycle thermal gloves provide an excellent solution to cold hands. Other areas of the body which are often affected by cold are the feet, thighs, neck and face - all of which can be addressed with suitable motorcycle thermal or heated clothing solutions. Thermal and heated motorcycling jackets, waistcoats and shirts allow the rider to maintain a warm core temperature which is essential for comfort and concentration. When the body detects a reduction in core temperature it begins to narrow blood vessels in the extremities in an effort to prevent heat loss from these areas and maintain core temperature. With less blood flowing to the hands and feet, these areas become more susceptible to the cold. The use of motorcycle thermal or heated jackets, waistcoats and shirts to maintain core body temperature will assist in maintaining more comfortable temperatures in the hands, feet and body in general.
