An important part of staying safe when riding your motorcycle is being visible on the road. One way to ensure that other motorists see you is by wearing reflective riding gear. Fortunately, Harley-Davidson offers a great selection of stylish, comfortable, and practical reflective riding gear. If you want to learn more, call Boston Harley-Davidson today. We are located in Revere, Massachusetts and are proud to serve those in Boston and Malden!

Why Do You Need Reflective Gear?

Reflective riding gear plays an integral role in keeping you safe on the road. When the headlights of other vehicles hit you, your gear will reflect it back at the source, thus making them aware of your presence.

Harley partnered with 3M in order to create cutting-edge reflective technology. Every piece of reflective riding gear features 3M Scotchlite® material. This material provides up to four times better visibility than other reflective gear! The Scotchlite retro-reflective technology takes incoming light and redirects it back at the source. This gear will help other motorists see you more clearly.

Riding gear is a great way to express yourself and your style, all while staying safe and protected. Adding some reflective apparel to your closet will only keep you safer on your motorcycle. There’s nothing better than matching your gear to your bike too!

Jacket

One common piece of reflective riding gear is a jacket. You’ll find perforated leather jackets as well as mesh riding jackets that utilize the 3M Scotchlite material. You’ll even find some vests too. Your outerwear is a crucial part of your gear, so why not give yours an extra layer of protection? Just because this jacket serves a purpose doesn’t mean you have to lose out on style. You’ll enjoy the variety of styles and designs you can pick from!

Gloves

Sometimes, you just need the finishing touches to put your safety and style over the top. This is where reflective gloves come in. The piping on the gloves will enhance visibility and keep your hands safe too.

Boots

It’s easy to throw on a neon vest and think you’re good to go. However, we suggest making sure you’ve got protective riding gear from head to toe! Harley offers some excellent riding boots that feature reflective material. You can’t always trust that another motorist will see you, so it’s always a good idea to be prepared. Fortunately, Harley-Davidson® riding boots are comfortable, durable, and functional too. 

We hope this guide helps you stay safe every time you ride your motorcycle. If you have any questions, reach out to our team at Boston Harley-Davidson in Revere, Massachusetts.
