Jackets and Gloves: Protection Meets Comfort

For Can-Am 3-wheel riders, jackets aren’t just about style—they’re about protection. Opt for riding jackets with CE-rated protectors that protects your back, elbows, and shoulders from abrasions and impact. Materials like Kevlar and leather are highly durable and provide superior protection in case of a fall.

3-wheel motorcycle gloves are equally important. Look for padded gloves with breathable fabrics to keep your hands comfortable, and ensure they’re touchscreen-compatible for easy use of devices while riding. For colder weather, consider heated gloves for those chilly rides.

Pants and Boots: Safety Below the Waist

While riding, your lower body needs protection as well. Choose Kevlar-reinforced pants or riding jeans to protect your legs from abrasions. For the ultimate protection, look for pants designed specifically for motorcycle riders, which are equipped with impact protection for your knees and hips.

Don't forget about boots. 3-wheel motorcycle boots should be slip-resistant, offering ankle support and reinforced toes. Look for waterproof options to ensure your feet stay dry in various conditions.

Safety tip: Always wear boots with reinforced soles to improve grip on the pedals and ensure stability.

Weather-Specific Gear for All Seasons

Hot Weather Riding Gear: Stay Cool and Protected

When riding in hot weather, staying comfortable while maintaining protection is key. Mesh jackets and ventilated clothing are perfect for warm conditions, allowing for airflow and cooling without sacrificing safety. Choose moisture-wicking layers and breathable fabrics to prevent overheating and reduce sweat buildup.

Tip: Don’t forget to protect your skin from the sun! Consider wearing UV-protective riding gear and sun visor on your helmet for added protection from the sun's rays.

 

Cold Weather Riding Gear: Insulation and Comfort

In cold weather, you’ll need insulated jackets, thermal liners, and insulated or heated gloves to keep warm. Windproof and waterproof gear is essential for long rides in chilly, wet conditions. Make sure your boots are water-resistant, and your pants include additional insulation or layering for warmth.

Tip: Layering is key. Invest in base layers to add warmth without bulk and ensure comfort on extended rides.

Legal and Safety Considerations for Can-Am Riders

Helmet Laws and Safety Standards

In both the U.S. and Canada, wearing a DOT-approved helmet is not just recommended; it’s required by law in most states and provinces. In Canada, many provinces also recognize or require helmets that meet ECE standards. Always check your local helmet regulations to make sure you're in compliance before hitting the road.

Tip: Ensure your helmet is certified (DOT/ECE) and fits snugly, leaving no room for error in terms of protection.

 

Protecting Your Body with Certified Gear

Protective clothing is essential for your safety in the event of an accident. When selecting motorcycle jackets, gloves, and pants, look for CE ratings, which ensure the gear meets specific safety standards. For riders in colder or rainier climates, waterproof gear is a must to ensure you stay dry and comfortable.

Safety tip: Ensure your protective gear is certified for the highest safety standards—this reduces the risk of injury during impact.
