Any type of motorcycle gear is designed to shield the rider from the elements and protect him or her in case of an accident. At the same time, good gear must be comfortable enough to wear even on long-distance trips. A helmet – is arguably the most important piece of gear every rider should wear. The inner liner with padding is designed mostly for comfort while also carrying moisture-wicking and noise-insulation properties.
