How to Maintain and Extend the Lifespan of Your Motorcycle Gear
Your protective motorcycle gear, including motorcycle outerwear and jackets, is more
than just a style statement; it’s a crucial safety component when you hit the road. To
ensure your gear serves you well for the long haul, it’s essential to know how to
properly care for and maintain it. In this article, we’ll provide you with practical advice
on cleaning, storage, and handling techniques to extend the lifespan of your motorcycle
gear.
Cleaning Your Motorcycle Gear

Regularly cleaning your gear is vital to maintain its functionality and appearance.
Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt, dust, and bugs from the surface.
For motorcycle jackets and outerwear, check the care label for specific cleaning
instructions. Most can be cleaned with a mild detergent and water. Always follow
the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials that could damage the
protective layers of your gear.
For motorcycle goggles, use a lens cleaner and a microfiber cloth to gently clean
the lenses, ensuring clear vision during your rides.
Storing Your Gear Properly
●

After each ride, hang your motorcycle jacket on a sturdy hanger to
maintain its shape and prevent wrinkles.
Store your gear in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Prolonged exposure to sunlight can weaken materials and fade colors.
Invest in a gear bag or gear-specific storage solutions to keep your gear
organized and protected when not in use.
Motorcycle helmets, such as the Davida Speedster V3 Motorcycle
Helmet or the Davida 92 Motorcycle Helmet, should be stored away
from extreme temperatures and should not be dropped or bumped to
prevent damage to the protective inner layers.
Proper Handling Techniques
●
●
●
When putting on or taking off your gear, be gentle to avoid stretching or
tearing the materials.
Avoid dragging your motorcycle jacket or gear on rough surfaces, as
this can cause abrasions and reduce its protective capabilities.
Ensure that your motorcycle jacket and outerwear are zipped and
fastened properly before riding. Loose gear can flap in the wind and
distract you from the road.
Conclusion:
Protective motorcycle gear is an investment in your
safety, so taking care of it is essential. Regular
cleaning, proper storage, and gentle handling
techniques will go a long way in extending the
lifespan of your gear. By following these tips, you
can ensure that your motorcycle gear, including
your favorite waxed cotton motorcycle jackets,
continues to offer you the protection and style you
need on every ride. Don’t forget to check out our
