Helmet to watch: Shoei RF-1400 Yagyo
The Shoei RF-1400 Yagyo aims to combine high-performance safety with distinctive graphics. Its compact shell was refined in wind-tunnel testing to lower drag and lift while preserving airflow and ventilation. The helmet also includes noise-mitigation features and Vortex Generators paired with the CWR-F2 shield system to manage turbulence, plus an airtight window beading to block wind and rain.

Built on an intermediate oval fit and weighing about 3.62 pounds, it is the lightest Snell-rated full-face model in Shoei’s range. Inside, layered multi-density EPS and an Emergency Quick Release System address impact and extraction concerns, while a removable, washable 3D Max-Dry liner handles moisture on long rides.
All-season protection: Alpinestars Halo Drystar Jacket
The Alpinestars Halo Drystar is designed for adventure touring riders who want adaptability across climates. It uses a packable Drystar membrane that is both waterproof and breathable and can be worn over or under the outer shell or stowed away when not needed.
Ventilation is flexible: front and rear panels fold to reveal mesh, and the sleeves can be removed to expose full mesh inner sleeves while keeping impact protection in place. The jacket carries CE certification — Class AA with the sleeves attached and Class A when converted — and ships with Nucleon Flex Pro shoulder and elbow armor plus Tech-Air 5 compatibility. Multiple adjustment points, a soft collar and several cargo pockets add practical utility.
Gloves and shoes that balance style and function
The Dainese Blackjack Gloves take a retro, warm-weather approach with goatskin construction, short cuffs and leather reinforcements on the palm. Their precurved fingers and soft-knuckle inserts prioritize mobility while offering basic impact protection. Elastic panels and a hook-and-loop wrist closure shape a secure fit; the gloves are cut wider across the palm and shorter in the fingers, suiting riders who prefer a fuller hand profile.
On the footwear side, the Dainese Atipica Air 2 blends a sneaker aesthetic with motorcycle-specific safeguards. A light mesh upper and OrthoLite footbeds aim to keep feet cool, while transparent lateral TPU and targeted reinforcements at the heel, ankle and shift area provide abrasion resistance. The shoes register a moderate stiffness (about 5/10) for on-bike support and use an asymmetrical Groundtrax tread to improve grip on footpegs.
Pants and protective basics: REV’IT! Davis 2 Jeans
The REV’IT! Davis 2 Jeans adopt a worker-style look while adding certified protection. Constructed from 500D Cordura denim with a straight, mid-rise cut, these pants include knee patches and a utilitarian pocket layout that blends with daily wear. They meet a CE Class A rating and include removable Seesmart Level 1 armor for knees and hips, plus reinforced stitching, safety seams and subtle reflective details for low-light visibility.
Communication gear and a women’s leather option
The Sena 60S Dual Pack is a high-end communication system intended for pairs of riders. It features second-generation 40mm Harman Kardon speakers, supports Mesh 3.0 and traditional Bluetooth intercom modes, and is compatible with the WAVE Intercom platform for broader connectivity. The units carry an IPX7 waterproof rating, include an integrated flashlight, interchangeable faceplates and LED strip indicators, and are sold as two complete headsets with magnetic mounts and fixed boom microphones.
The Street & Steel Athena Women’s Jacket updates a classic silhouette with modern riding features. Drum-dyed leather is combined with quilted and perforated panels, a VAX ventilation system and a removable thermal liner for variable weather. Safety features include CE Level 2 AXIAL AX2 armor at shoulders and elbows and a pocket for an optional back protector; adjustable straps, expansion zippers and practical touches such as jacket-to-pant loops round out the package.
