Autumn can be a difficult time when it comes to knowing what to wear, particularly for bikers who could face varying weather conditions in just one day. 

In the morning it could be warm and crisp, and later on in the day, the heavens could open. This means they need to think carefully about what they wear when they go for a ride, so they stay comfortable, warm and protected each and every time. 

Here are our tips on what motorcycle gear to wear this autumn. 

Waterproof jacket

Yes, it can still be relatively warm in September but if it starts to pour down, you’ll want a waterproof jacket on you to keep you dry. 

Choose a lighter weight cover-up, as this will stop you from getting wet without letting you get too hot. 

On those chillier days, you could make it warmer by wearing a base layer underneath. This helps to regulate the body temperature so you don’t overheat as well. 

Waterproof gloves

If it is raining when you set off, make sure you are wearing a pair of waterproof gloves with a seal membrane. This ensures no water will leak into your gloves, so your hands will stay dry, warm and in control of the bike. 

Never underestimate the importance of waterproof gloves, as it can become a lot more difficult to handle the vehicle if your hands are cold and wet. 

Jeans

Autumn weather is still relatively mild, and while it might rain and there may be frosty mornings, the temperature is unlikely to drop significantly for a few months. 

That is why a good pair of denim jeans is a must for this time of the year. Opt for ones that have abrasion resistance and knee armour. You can also find some that are windproof and waterproof.
