The Spanish clothing brand Seventy Degrees brings us some recommendations and keys to choose our clothing wisely when we take our motorcycle. And it is that protection, comfort and style are not at odds if we want to ride a motorcycle.

Dressing on a motorcycle and wearing the right protection is one of the things that we tend to neglect most often. Either because of the rush, because of the heat, because we think we don't need it or simply because of laziness; Dressing well protected on the back of our motorcycle is basic to not have a serious upset if we fall. And more so in summer, when we tend to 'relax' our customs even more.

Either way, bikers no longer have an excuse. And it is that the progress in the development and manufacture of motorcycle garments has been enormous in recent years. Every time we have materials that are more resistant, lighter… And just as protective. This being the case, how to dress on a motorcycle, be protected, stylish and look like 'casual' clothing? Well, it may seem impossible, but the Seventy Degrees motorcycle clothing brand has answers for everything. A firm that is always at the forefront of materials and approvals, and that gives us the keys to dress the latest motorcycle with the maximum guarantee.

1. 600D polyester: resistant, light and anti-abrasion

If you are looking for a fabric resistant to abrasion, comfortable and light, your thing is 600D polyester. According to Seventy Degrees, "this material withstands temperatures of up to 260º, which makes it very effective against abrasion. The 'D' stands for 'denier' and indicates the mass in grams for each 9,000 meters of fiber, which It's a good measure of strength and durability when comparing materials." In addition, 600D polyester is light and has insulating properties against cold or humidity, which is why its use is becoming more and more widespread. The new Seventy Degrees jackets incorporate 600D polyester in their construction, making them the perfect accessory to dress safely on a motorcycle.

2. Protections approved with European certification

An anti-abrasion jacket is important on a motorcycle, but joint and back protection are essential when riding our two-wheeled friend. Thus, Seventy Degrees jackets have level 1 protections on the shoulders and elbows, made of flexible ether-type polyurethane foam and certified. And, if that's not enough, you can also add a certified level 2 back protector.

And it is that, when buying motorcycle clothing, verifying that the protections are approved can be the difference, if we have a fall, between continuing on our way or going to the hospital... Remember that cheap is expensive. At Seventy Degrees, all of its motorcycle garments have passed the harsh tests to which companies such as IDIADA have subjected them, with tests in the laboratory and rehearsal rooms. Only in this way, the brand ensures that they offer the right quality in terms of durability, design, safety and comfort.

3. Motorcycle jeans? Yes, but not just anyone...

Motorcycle jeans are one of those mandatory purchases if we want maximum protection. And we're in luck because at Seventy Degrees comes a complete new range of jeans. The SD-PJ2/PJ4 and SD-PJ6/PJ8 motorcycle jeans have been reinforced inside with 270g Kevlar in the most critical areas and also have double stitching. What do we get with this? Jeans that have the same appearance as street jeans, but are approved for motorcycle wear. In addition, thanks to the built-in pockets on the knees, their approved protections can be easily removed. No one will know the difference!
