Commuter Suits and Jackets They keep you waterproof and protect your clothing inside from getting dirty. In cold weathers, your jacket keeps you warm as well. Most of the time, leather jackets are also preferred (this is because in cases of accidents, they prevent further bouncing, rotations and lessen shear strains that can cause the worst injuries to the body).

Sunglasses Some bikers prefer sunglasses especially when driving at daytime. This protects the eyes from the glaring sun.

In a perfect world, your motorcycle road trips would always proceed without any problems. Unfortunately, we do not live in a perfect world. Thus, it is important to use items to protect our motorcycles and ourselves on our road trip. Of course, there is no guarantee that we will need such items. However, by filling up our motorcycle luggage with these items, we can avert problem.

There are five basic types of helmets intended for motorcycling, and others not intended for motorcycling but which are used by some riders. All of these types of helmets are secured by a chin strap, and their protective benefits are greatly reduced, if not eliminated, if the chin strap is not securely fastened so as to maintain a snug fit.

The half helmet, also referred to as a "Shorty", has essentially the same front design as an open face helmet but with a raised rear. The half helmet provides the minimum coverage generally allowed by law in the U.S. As with the open face, it is not uncommon to augment this helmet's eye protection through other means. Unlike open face and full face helmets, half helmets are also prone to shifting and sometimes coming off the rider's head during an accident. Because of their inferiority compared to other helmet styles, some Motorcycle Safety Foundation courses prohibit the use of half helmets during riding exercises.
