Frequently asked questions Hide FAQs
What is the difference between adventure motorcycle gear and road touring gear?
Adventure motorcycle gear prioritizes mobility and versatility for routes that combine paved roads with unpaved terrain. Road touring gear focuses more on sustained seated comfort and weather management over long distances. Both categories can offer abrasion-resistant construction, impact protection, and adjustable ventilation, depending on the item.
When browsing the ALL TERRA ADVENTURE featured products, match each item’s stated riding use to your route. More demanding off-road riding requires particular attention to boot support, protective coverage, and freedom of movement when standing on the footpegs.
Is adventure motorcycle gear waterproof and suitable for hot weather?
Weather performance depends on the construction. Waterproof membranes and sealed seams manage rain, while mesh panels and adjustable vents support airflow. A water-resistant finish alone does not provide the same protection as a waterproof construction.
For hot-weather adventure riding, prioritize ventilation and breathable layers. For colder or wetter routes, consider insulation and waterproof coverage. Check whether weather protection is built in, removable, or supplied by a separate outer layer rather than assuming every featured item is all-season.
How should adventure motorcycle gear fit with armor and base layers?
Adventure riding gear should keep protectors aligned with the intended impact areas without restricting movement. Jackets and pants need enough room for your planned layers, but excess looseness can allow armor to shift.
Use the relevant size chart and check fit in both seated and standing riding positions. Reach for the handlebars, bend your knees, and confirm that sleeves and trouser legs maintain coverage. If using an airbag system, follow its specific garment-clearance requirements rather than simply choosing a larger size.
What safety certifications should I look for in adventure motorcycle gear?
For protective motorcycle jackets and pants, look for the stated EN 17092 garment classification. Impact protectors use separate standards, including EN 1621-1 for limb protection and EN 1621-2 for back protection. Where both levels are offered under the same protector standard, Level 2 permits less transmitted impact force than Level 1.
Motorcycle boots and gloves have their own standards, commonly EN 13634 and EN 13594 respectively. Certification varies by item, so confirm the standard, protection level, and included armor rather than treating the collection name as a safety rating.
Can adventure motorcycle gear be used with Tech-Air® systems and additional protectors?
Compatibility depends on the garment and the specific Tech-Air® system. Check that the system is intended for your riding discipline and that your outer gear meets its fit, expansion-clearance, and compatibility requirements. Adventure styling alone does not establish airbag compatibility.
Additional back or chest inserts must match the garment’s specified pockets and approved protector format. Follow the system manual when combining protection components, and consult the Tech-Air® compatibility checker when planning your setup.
