A QUICK PROTECTION PRIMER FOR NEW RIDERS
If you’re new to riding, welcome.
You don’t need to know everything—you just need to start somewhere and frankly, be smart.
Most riding injuries don’t happen at high speed. They happen during low-speed slides, sudden stops, or unexpected road contact. That’s why what you wear matters from your very first ride.
Think of protection as a system:
- Abrasion resistance helps protect your skin if you slide
- Impact protection helps absorb force at key points
- Proper fit keeps everything where it belongs
You don’t need race gear. You need comfortable protection you’ll actually wear.
WHY WOMEN-SPECIFIC GEAR HELPS
Gear designed for women fits differently—because our bodies and riding positions are different. When gear fits right, it’s more comfortable, less distracting, and protection that works with your body will work as intended.
START SIMPLE
For many new riders, the basics are a great place to begin:
- “Victoria” Kevlar-lined moto jeans for everyday riding protection, comes with CE2 armor, top of the industry standards
- Our “Moto Angel” hoodie is a breathable Kevlar lined, Armored hoodie with rear night reflective angel wings for casual rides
These pieces are designed to feel familiar while adding real protection—so you can build confidence without feeling bulky or overwhelmed.
You can always add more gear as you ride more.
Protection isn’t about fear. It’s about riding prepared and enjoying every mile.
Be Seen. Be Protected. Be Blazen.
New motorcycle riders often make critical safety mistakes, such as failing to wear proper gear, target fi xation (staring at hazards), poor clutch/brake control, and riding beyond their skill level.
Key, actionable advice includes taking a training course, practicing emergency braking, maintaining proper tire pressure, and riding defensively to avoid blind spots.
