Having a comprehensive set of riding gear, regardless of whether you're simply commuting to work, or going on a multi-day adventure out of town is an essential in my book. Typically, I never leave the confines of my neighborhood without a helmet, jacket or padded vest, gloves, motorcycle jeans, and a pair of over-the-ankle boots. My gear arsenal is enhanced even further for long rides.
Luckily, lots of gear manufacturers have released products that are nearly indistinguishable from everyday street wear. Take, for example, the new Molo pants from Italian manufacturer Tucano Urbano. The brand has the upcoming spring riding season in mind, as well as folks looking to use their bikes for everyday commuting and squeezing in some work or errands in between. From a styling perspective, the Molo pants are subtle and understated. Nothing about them makes it obvious that they were designed for use on motorbikes.
