A somewhat often podcast that discusses motorcycle gear in detail including brands, technologies, how to's and more.
Follow along with me as I evaluate different riding gear from a fit and features perspective. Learn a few things about gear while you shop!
In this episode, I’m going to cover some sizing and fitment tips to help you figure out what’s going to work and what isn’t. Especially when you’ve never touched gear before or don’t have years of sizing experience with the various brands.
In this episode, I break down various mistakes I’ve seen riders make when selecting or wearing riding gear and how you can avoid them the next time you shop for try on riding gear.
It all starts somewhere. With finding the right helmet, it always starts with fitment. If you don't have that, you'll never find that perfect helmet.
Today we have thousands of choices when it comes to riding gear. Armed with some general knowledge of Real Gear v. Fake Gear will greatly minimize the choice fatigue and help you shop for your next set of riding gear. I'll give you all the features your gear should offer including how to evaluate a brand and identify something that was made to actually ride and potentially crash in. How can you tell if the jacket you're wearing is right for you. And why shopping at the mall is not the right place to shop for gear.
Things to consider when choosing mesh, what kind of coverage you need, why gear keeps you cooler when it's hot, a few of my favorites for mesh gear, and more.
Before I go on a trip, I wanted to give you a quick summary of things to consider when choosing waterproof riding gear. What options are out there? Should you choose a permanently waterproof riding jacket? Or should you choose a removable option? I'll do a deeper dive with fit options in a future episode. Enjoy!
In this episode, I chat with Debra Chin who decided to make a new line of riding bags just for women who ride. Starting a new moto business isn't easy, and trying to find help and resources is key. Debra shares her experiences with us to help future motopreneurs who are looking to do the same thing.
You've passed your motorcycle safety course and now you have your license. You're about to buy a bike or start shopping but you also need to gear up. Here are the things you need to buy for your body and why!
In this episode, it's just me to give you some things to think about when trying to decide between leather and textile.
Not all gear is the same and there are a lot of factors to consider if you're trying to choose between the two.
In this first episode, I talk to my friend Tex, the Director of Sales & Marketing about TCX Boots. We also chat about what to look for in riding boots, CE certifications, and how one of the most popular riding sneakers came to be!
I'm so excited to announce my all new podcast, featuring discussions and interviews from friends, colleagues, strangers, basically anyone who will chat with me about you guessed it, motorcycle gear.
Join me as I learn more about different brands, technologies and people that make up the motorcycle gear universe.
Of course, I also aim to give you as much information as I can about the world of gear and I won't be limiting it to women's gear either. Finding protective apparel dealers / shops / manufacturers that you can trust your safety and protection is challenging and I am to make that a bit easier with this podcast.
I also hope to decode technical terms and brands that you may hear in your everyday riding life: Cordura, SuperFabric, Dynatec, UHWMPE, Coolmax and more.
