There’s much more to buying a motorcycle vest for men than just wanting to look cool. Today’s motorcycle vests are truly a wonder of 21st-century technology. They also have an important job, even though they don’t have any sleeves. Vests help to prevent serious injuries to your chest, back, and abdomen if an accident occurs.
A serious injury to your upper body can result in death in many cases. This is why it is so important to choose the right vest. In fact, some would say this is just as important as the helmet you wear. The bottom line is, when you go riding, you need both.
At American Legend Rider, we have a huge selection of motorcycle vests for men. Some are simple while others offer a bit more flair. Learn about what we have available here.
At American Legend Rider, motorcycle riders of all types can browse the selection of men’s vests and feel confident they will find one that meets their needs and riding style. However, we understand not everyone likes the same look or style. That’s why we have such a large selection of vests to choose from.
To help ensure each rider finds the vest that best suits their riding style our team at American Legend Rider has come up with these suggestions to narrow down the options from our inventory.
The Price
When it comes to motorcycle gear, of any type, the cost can often be extreme. However, at American Legend Rider, we have made a promise to provide our customers with the best gear for affordable prices.
But we still understand that most people have a budget to keep in mind. As a result, we recommend that everyone determines the amount they can spend on their men’s motorcycle vest before going shopping. We have vests at all price points to ensure everyone can find a quality vest for an affordable price.
The Protection Factor
While a biker vest doesn’t have sleeves, it doesn’t mean that it isn’t considered protective gear. As a result, it’s a good idea to pay attention to the material and how durable it is. We offer vests in many materials to ensure superior protection in the vent of a slide or more serious accident.
Protecting your chest, back and abdomen is essentially the job of a quality vest. Make sure to look into whether or not the vest being considered offers this type of protection before making an investment.
The Material
Another important question to consider is the type of material for the motorcycle vest. Historically the most popular material has been leather. However, we offer several material types for those who are looking for an alternative to leather.
There are three main materials available for modern men’s rider vests. This includes leather, denim, and textile. At American Legend Rider we offer vests in each of those materials and they all have their benefits.
Leather is the material that really taps into the culture of biking. It is one of the oldest types of protective materials and is extremely durable while providing decent abrasion protection. Keep in mind though, if the vest isn’t vented, leather isn’t a very breathable material. As a result, it’s not the best option for warmer weather.
Denim is another popular material, as it is a rip-resistant material that is used for jeans, so it’s also comfortable. Motorcycle denims are designed with stronger stitching and it breathes pretty well, so it is fine for summer. Add a fleece lining and the vests are ideal for winter weather when paired with a long sleeve jacket or shirt.
Textile vests are available in several weaves and materials, with the most common being polyester and nylon. Textile vests are best for the summer months, as they don’t offer much protection from cold weather.
Selecting the Best American Legend Rider Vest
We offer a wide array of options to choose from when searching for men’s motorcycle vests. Take some time to browse our inventory to find the style that best suits your needs and preferences. All of our vests are affordably priced to ensure that every rider can get the vest they want, for a price they can afford. It’s a good idea to buy more than one if a person’s budget allows this.
