Vegan motorcycle clothing
Posted: Fri Jun 20, 2014 7:14 pm
Hi all
As a vegan who also loves motorcycles I've had difficulty finding leather-less protective clothing.
jackets and trousers are no problem but gloves and boots are more difficult.
This is my advice to any vegan motorcyclist that might be on/will be on here:
For boots i can't recommend these enough:

They don't market them as motorcycle boots but believe me you could let a car run over them and not feel a thing!
They are multi purpose, I've had real motorcycle boots and if you walk/work with them on your legs will crap up real bad (at least in my case).
I've got these boots on all the time.
Gloves are a real pain to find. The only company that makes vegan motorcycle gloves that i'm aware of is olympia:

I've got the 760 air force gel gloves witch are very comfortable and nice for the summer.
But i don't know if they'l do much in a crash.
I might try to drag them along the pavement with a weight in them and see how they hold up when i get new ones.
Do you have any good vegan motorcycle gear?
