April showers bring May flowers and with it often cool wind, especially when travelling at high speeds. Even with warm spring weather, motorcycle gloves still protect your hands from wind and rain. Keep your hands warm, dry and comfortable with a variety of leather gloves to meet every type of ride.

Wind & Waterproof Proof Leather Gloves

Don’t let the weather stop you from enjoying your motorcycle ride. Wind proof gloves, designed with a gauntlet and padded palm, keep your hands and wrists comfortable and warm. You may feel that gauntlet motorcycle gloves are only necessary to wear during winter months, but, for the rider who wants extra protection, a gauntlet glove is a nice addition to your gear collection.

Who would know that men’s hats would boast such a long and illustrious history? From the fedora to straw and felt hats, there’s a story to match each style. The black leather fedora has become the men’s leather hat of choice primarily among musicians and actors, but was originally made famous by a woman!

The Fedora Hat Makes Its Debut

On stage in 1882, the world renowned actress, Sarah Bernhardt, performed the part of Princess Fedora in a play that remains unremarkable. What was surprising is that the hat was a hit in the U.S. and Europe. In an odd fashion twist, the fedora became a “must have” for men of that era. Today, we see everyone from computer geeks to rappers sporting a fedora.

While the origin of Minnetonka Moccasins goes back to the era when the Minnetonkan tribe wore them to hunt, the shoes have evolved to become a staple in many individuals’ wardrobes, especially those who live in climates known for inclement weather. A major advantage of the sheepskin is its ability to soak up water; the prime benefit of the moccasin-style boot is that it also keeps you warm.

Motorcycle saddlebags were designed originally to be part of the motorcycle touring bike, which is a bike built for long-distance and provides a comfortable and safe riding experience. Today, saddlebags generally refer to any leather or nylon bag that’s mounted on the rear of your motorcycle, just above the wheel, regardless of the type of bike you ride.
