The Kit

Tested on the road. Kept because it worked.

There’s a lot of motorcycle gear out there. We don’t need to tell you about all of it.

We’d rather tell you about the stuff that stayed.

This isn’t a catalog. It’s what we ride in. Every brand and item on this page has been worn, beaten up, and trusted at speed by the people who actually ride. No sponsors, no paid placements, no links.

If it’s here, it earned its keep, and we are happy to share it with you.

Gear:

  • Triumph Branded Gear:
    • Gloves:
      • Triumph Jansson Gloves. These have held up for well over a year and still look like they did at the first twist of the throttle.
    • Jackets:
      • Triumph Leith – A great multi-season jacket, comes with a removable inner shell for when the weather warms up slightly. This is a 3 season jacket perfectly suited for fall, winter, and spring.
      • Triumph Triple Roadster – a lighter jacket but still too warm for summer.
    • Neck Gaiters:
      • Several designs to choose from. They are thick and provide great warmth and wind protection.
    • Shirts:
      • Triumph t-shirts are great for casual wear, they are comfortable, great quality, and fit true to size.
    • Backpack:
      • 25L Modern Classic Roll Top Backpack
  • Dart Flyscreens:
    • We use the classic Dart flyscreen. It fits just right on the bike, they make versions that fit with a lot of different makes and models. Installing this on our naked Triumph Speed Twin 900 has made highway riding a lot more enjoyable. The screen does a great job directing the wind out and around your body.
  • Shoei Helmet:
    • RF-SR
  • Shoes:
    • Reax Fulton Air Riding Shoe
  • Bags & Luggage:
    • SW-Motech Legend Series:

    • Cortech Armored Dyneema Riding Jeans. Another strong choice that provides great protection and comfort.
