Warning -Badly Fitting Motorcycle Leathers Can Affect Your Personal Safety.
Saggies and Baggies Pose a Safety Risk – Zig Zags can help!
There are no official statistics on the percentage of motorcyclists with badly fitting leathers, but studies on protective gear highlight that poor fit is a significant problem, especially with women’s gear.
. A key issue is that ill-fitting gear can compromise safety by not keeping protective pads in the correct position, and it can also cause discomfort, impacting riding performance.
- Compromised safety: Gear that is too loose can shift during a crash, leaving vital impact and abrasion protection out of place. Conversely, gear that is too tight can restrict movement and is uncomfortable for long rides.
- Testing has revealed poor performance: A 2023 MotoCAP test found that many women’s riding leggings offered very poor protection and had low abrasion resistance. Many of the tested leggings failed to meet safety standards, partly due to their fit and the poor placement of armor.
- Key to safety: Proper fit is crucial for both safety and comfort. Gear should be snug enough to keep protective elements in place but not so tight that it restricts movement or causes discomfort
