A motorcyclist should wear brightly colored clothing or a vest that helps stand out from the flow of other road users.
Appropriate clothing is considered to be that intended to protect a motorcyclist riding on an asphalt or concrete surface:helmet – a certified safety helmet for motorcyclists with integrated eye protection or motorcyclist goggles;elbow, knee and shoulder protection – leather, textile or friction-resistant material-reinforced jeans and a jacket with integrated elbow, knee and shoulder protection, or detachable elbow, knee and shoulder protection – "armor";gloves – friction-resistant gloves protecting the palms and knuckles and covering the hand;boots – boots for motorcyclists, resistant to friction and cuts, with a hard sole. The label of quality boots usually indicates conformity with the EN 13634 standard.
Examples of unsuitable motorcyclist clothing:helmet of inappropriate size, broken, without eye protection or additional protective goggles, or with poorly transparent eye protection;elbow, knee and shoulder protection not intended for motorcyclists, or clothing (of roller skaters or other sports), of inappropriate size or with broken fastening elements;skiing, motocross, work or other gloves not intended to protect against friction with the asphalt or concrete surface;leisure or sports shoes.
