Let’s face it, we motorcyclists are a vain and image-conscious bunch. Well, most of us are, at least. As such, we want our gear to match our bikes as much as possible. Indeed, the motorcycle gear and apparel industry is equal parts protection and fashion. Manufacturers are constantly innovating to blur the lines between moto-specific gear and regular, day-to-day clothing.
This is especially prevalent in the retro gear segment. Occupied by the likes of Helstons, Ixon, Stylmartin, and many others, gear offerings in this segment look perfectly suited for casual attire while exuding a rugged aesthetic that works really well with both modern and classic bikes. Of course, protection is always top of mind when it comes to these manufacturers. Garments of all types, ranging from jackets, gloves, pants, and boots, are all available in classy, retro styles, the latest of which is the Rocket leather boot from Stylmartin.
