Care & Maintanence
Motorcycle jackets and pants are more than just a style statement; they are essential safety gear designed to protect you during rides. Whether made of leather, textile, or a combination of materials, proper care and maintenance can prolong their life, retain their protective qualities, and ensure they look as good as new. In this blog, we’ll share expert tips on how to clean, maintain, and store your motorcycle jackets and pants to keep them in peak condition.
- Step 1: Pre-Cleaning
Remove any armor or protective inserts before cleaning. Shake out loose dirt and debris.
- Step 2: Hand Washing or Machine Washing
Check the care label for washing instructions. If machine washable, use a gentle cycle with cold water and mild detergent. For hand washing, soak the gear in soapy water and gently scrub with a soft sponge. Avoid fabric softeners as they can damage waterproof coatings.
- Step 3: Drying
Hang the gear to air dry in a shaded area. Avoid wringing or using a dryer to prevent damage to the fabric and coatings.
- Inspecting for Damage
Your motorcycle jackets and pants undergo wear and tear over time. Regular inspections help catch issues early.
- Step 1: Zippers and Fasteners
Check all zippers, buttons, and Velcro for functionality. Replace or repair damaged fasteners promptly.
- Step 2: Seams and Stitching
Look for loose threads or frayed seams, especially in high-stress areas like elbows, shoulders, and knees.
- Step 3: Armor and Padding
Ensure the protective armor in your gear is intact, properly positioned, and not cracked or deformed.
- Storing Your Gear
Proper storage is key to preserving your motorcycle jackets and pants when not in use.
- Step 1: Clean Before Storage
Always clean and dry your gear before storing it to prevent mold and odors.
- Step 2: Use a Garment Hanger
Hang jackets on a sturdy hanger to maintain their shape. For pants, fold them neatly or hang them if possible.
- Step 3: Storage Environment
Store your gear in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, humidity, and heat sources. Avoid compressing leather gear, as this can cause creases and cracks.
