I sell riding gear for a living in the US. You hit EVERT single major point and misconception. Hearing you talk about the importance of boots made me very happy. Its often the most used part of gear in any crash, and can help you keep your foot in the bad crashes. Even pointing out the useless label of DOT. This entire video was spectacular. I ride a Yamaha MT-07, and i wear an Arai Signet X, Dianese jacket and pants, as well as alpine-stars boots and gloves. Ironically i spent more than half of the cost of my motorcycle on the gear i wear. The only other thing that i would have pointed out, is that the most broken bones are in the Tibula and Fibula. So getting riding boots that come up to your shin, and meet the armor in your pants is a much larger improvement than simple riding shoes. You also did a great job showing that the only differences in a cheap and safe helmet and a expensive and safe helmet is build quality and comfort. This was by far the best safety gear overview i have seen on KZbin, Including channels like Revzilla, Fortnine, and any motovlogger.

Any attempt to educate the riding community is commendable. Specially in a country where there are millions of riders and even more hazards. Almost no enforced traffic rules and unlicensed riders, not to mention the commercial traffic all on poor roads. Great job on the video: you will reach the new generations who are net savvy.

[@funnyman929]

Look we live in a democracy. People can do whatever the fuck they want. You do what you want and wear the gear. People laugh at us when we tell them that while commuting on bike you should wear this jacket and shoes and spend 20000 on shoes with no style and only protection. They will slap you on the back of your head and call you a fucking moron. You do your part. Rest will either follow or you will see their innards on the road.

[@MrMiyagi005]

See, India has a herd mentality. When enough people start following rules and riding with safety, others will join in just to not be a standout and feel part of the crowd. I am seeing more and more people riding with helmet and gloves. stopping on signals even there's no traffic. Things are changing for sure.

[@christopherbiomass7155]

Very nice video. Informative, humorous, and well put together. First time viewer from the US here. I've been riding for 35 years. The PPE I started out with was just a helmet and gloves, rounded out with tennis shoes, jeans, and a fashion weight jacket. I now own 4 helmets, 5 jackets, 5 pants, 4 pairs of gloves, and 3 pairs of boots. Part of the reason for multiples is finding something comfortable. The other main reason is purpose. The same gear doesn't always meet your needs, depending on the situation. I've had 35 years accident free, but still wear full gear if I'm going more than a km. Looking forward to watching more of your content. 🙂

Hi Anurag, what a phenomenal take on riding gear. Like others have already mentioned, I couldn't believe I watched the entirety of the 40 min long video. I used to ride my beloved R15 v2 in Bengaluru during my med school days till 2016 in a LS2 helmet and slippers😂. Really didn't have much money to spare for gear as a broke ass college student. Now I live in NY and getting back on motorcycle after an almost 7 year hiatus. I'm as excited for my new riding gear as I'm for my new motorcycle. Now that I don't have to worry about money, I'm getting the top shelf primo stuff from brands like Dianese, Alpinestars and Shoei😎. I just found your channel today as I'm watching reviews about motorcycle gear lately and your videos are really entertaining and educational. Thank you so much!

[@thebigoaktree8401]

Greetings from Buffalo, NY US! Great video. The riding conditions on your streets and roads are challenging to say the least! You guys sure can use some dedicated driving rules and infrastructure to aid in helping, and safely guiding motorists on their way. That being said, I really appreciate your thorough approach to educating the viewer (me) on better ways to protect myself while riding. Like you, I am a fan of quality protective gear and choose to use it al of the time. I ride an 02’ Triumph 955i and the cost of my gear equals the value of my bike. 😅 I trust my skills but mishaps can always occur and I’d rather be safe with gear on than sorry and wishing that I wore it in the first place. Not to mention how badass you look when you are wearing proper riding gear. All of your gear is spot on and looks great too! I am going to check out a couple of the brands that you point out in your video. Thanks.

Summarizes my sentiments perfectly! Glad you liked the video, cheers!

[@richardahola692]

Hope you aren't freezing in Buffalo. Last time I ride through I hit snow. My main concern in gear is warm enough in winter and not dying from the heat in summer. How is your 955i holding up? Many electrical problems? I looked at a 955i on cycle trader yesterday but with shipping was a little too much. I'll be riding through Buffalo in April. I always go to Niagara Falls Canada to buy my insulin. Good riding and stay warm.

It was great to see you prioritising comfort and safety equally and also taking the scientific approach rather than asking everything I got to put into all the riding gears. F9 made a similar story. Also, mentioning brand names and models really elevated the video. Sad FKR stopped making gears.

[@luc1ferblack]

helmet: pinlock to stop fogging. removeable liner to allow washing. add a strip of black vinyl or electrical tape along the bottom of the visor so in bright sunshine you can adjust the visor to work as a peak and block the sun. boots: steel toe capped high work boots with ankle support to prevent twist. Gloves: palm sliders. great gloves for rain are knox coverts. jackets: mesh for summer. for rain either a goretex pro or a motorbike hoodie with rain cover. richa infinity pro 2 is the cheapest goretex pro jacket. upgrade your horn to an denali soundbomb and upgrade your headlight to novsight led. also worth adding switchback indicators

[@adam346]

I heard something interesting from a friend the other day... getting all the heaviest, most protective gear actually makes it harder to learn how to ride a motorcycle. Much like getting a heavy bike to start.. it's easier to learn with lighter gear, get the feeling much more and once you have engrained how to ride into your muscle memory, then go out and get the heavy, stiff gear because while you may need to retrain a bit, it won't be nearly as alien as if you started with the heavy gear and *no* skill on a bike. Edit: not saying don't wear protective gear.. but wear protective enough but light enough that you are both safe and able to learn how to ride.

Great video. Fascinated to hear about things specific to India. Realised my new Shoei helmet (which is latest ECE 22.06 standard) will not be legal to ride in India , when i come for my planned trip there next year, as it does not have ISI mark :))) I also preach to always wear proper gear when on the bike. It saved my ass (literally) many times. I prefer to wear full leather two piece suite in any weather as it makes me feel most safe. But even most simple textile gear will do a good job in 90% of crashes. These days there is such a large variety of gear, even for hottest climate like in India, there is no reason not to wear any. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@chezhian400]

I ride a Yamaha FZ - S, I just bought it last year and it is my first bike. Although I've loved bikes for a long time, only last year was the time I could afford it. I used to consume a lot of your and Shumi's content from where I understood about the quality of riding gears and decided to upgrade my helmet after riding with the stock helmet for 3-4 months. I got an Axor helmet which comes with DOT, ECE and the ISI mark. That's the only riding gear I could afford and I got a pair of gloves (RE Urban Hustler) as a gift from my girlfriend. I ride from Chembur to Airoli and back for work and I'm getting into the night shift. I am genuinely wanting to purchase riding gears but it seems to me that they'll be costing more than the cost of my bike. I'm hoping after a few years and promotions, I'll be able to upgrade my bike and my riding gear as well

I had a couple of falls thanks entirely to our roads full of gravel, oil, used condoms and what not! These were low speed crashes.

I also completely agree with you on the helmet front. I have been able to convince sooo many of my friends to get decently safe helmets by spending 5k and they say after wearing such a comfortable helmet they do not feel like riding without helmet anymore. I think it's more of a perspective thing they are soo used to the substandard isi helmets that they do not preffer wearing them.

U can always go for an MT or SMK but id stay away from them due to brand reputation(racer wearing MT was killed in MMRT).

Excellent. I never even noticed the length of the video. It was informative, engaging and well made. I'm an unfortunate idiot that learned most of these lessons the hard way and got very, very lucky, each time coming away without any permanent injury. I've been challenged repeatedly with the "Aren't your skills up to scratch?" saw. I answer, "Maybe, but first, no amount of skill will protect me from an unpredictable idiot and second, there's always more to learn." I survived two years of riding around Izmir Turkey in the 1980s on a mid-sized Kawasaki cruiser without incident. It was insane there with no apparent rules of the road. I was run off the road twice in Oklahoma City at the same intersection in my jeans and tshirt days. I had my bike removed from my control and destroyed by a teenager in a rush in Chicago which only cost me a day in the hospital. (Only! Ha!) Older and wiser now, Quality brain bucket, Hard, practical protective boots, Quality leather jacket with armor and solid gloves are my minimum now for a jaunt to the corner store. Longer, higher speed rides get me into even more gear. Considering my allergy to pain and my desire to remain among the living, I consider riding gear worth the investment. It's certainly cheaper than the hospital bills. The ambulance ride, ER, MRI, and lost work days cost much more than all my gear put together.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve gravitated towards more safety gear.. the paradox I had to figure out was the helmet . From mid 1980’s till around 2003 I wore a helmet only when I didn’t have clear glasses (@ night ,occasionally ) . The paradox was a helmet makes an accident a bit more likely to happen due to restriction of view . But a helmet makes crashing much more likely to be survivable ..also helmets take away a huge part of my riding experience personally.. so since I’ve started riding again ,and I’m much older than in 2003, I’ve gravitated towards Almost always wearing the helmet …and I never wore gloves unless I was cold back then , now I put ‘‘em on every ride along with 1 of 3 jackets ..occasionally I’ll take a quick short trip around the block with only glasses on . Which I have to stop doing as glasses are the only legal requirement in my state and makes for a hugely improved riding experience …the more I do this ,the more I do this 😬, so I’m trying to not do it at all … a lot of good info in this video ,thanks for the obvious work you put in making it

[@kkhalifah1019]

Gloves are absolutely vital, because you will naturally hold out your hands to protect yourself when you fall off. Boots are the next vital thing, because normal shoes are likely to come flying off the second your feet hit the ground while sandals/flip-flops are the absolute worst coz they're as good as going barefoot in a crash. Helmets, well everybody knows why it's important.
