As a new biker, I’ve been wondering what I need to look for when getting my gear. It seems as though motorcycle gear is not really regulated at all (with the exception of helmets). So this leaves me lost in confusion on what I should be looking for. Especially now that there’s not only leather for an option, but there’s also the textiles as well. I’ve seen many different gear list how many Denier it is, but that means little to me because I don’t know what is better. It seems a higher Denier of one type of textile doesn’t necessarily hold up better than another type of textile with a lower Denier. Anyone have any suggestions they can give me on what I can look for in my first set of motorcycle gear so that I know what I’m getting is good?
