When people think about the image of a biker, one of the first things they think about besides the tattoos is the stereotypical black riding boots. In years past you would never see a biker out for a cruise without his boots. These days with the popularity of sport bikes and what we call “rice rockets” you see people riding them with tennis shoes on and you will see business people riding their motorcycle to work with dress loafers on. For hardcore bikers, this may seem to be sacrilegious but it is happening more and more. So, are riding boots really a functional necessity or just for looks?

If you have the nerve to walk up to a biker and ask him if his boots are functional or just for looks and whether they would ride their bike without them you will find that they would not get on their bike without their boots. Though you may be hard pressed to get an in depth explanation from them if you push a little they will tell you that while they like the look of their boots, the main reason they wear them is for protection.

Harness Motorcycle Boots

There are inherent risks that we take when participating in biking but wearing motorcycle boots eliminates many of them. One of the first injuries that many bikers get is a burned leg from their own exhaust. This is a horrible injury that can take several weeks to heal and will still result in a large scar. By wearing the tall riding boots you are much less likely to be burned.

Of course there are many other reasons for wearing protective footwear, leathers, and helmets not the least of which is the risk of injury from being involved in an accident. Wearing thick leather pants and jackets can save your skin if you lay your bike down in an accident and the boots will save your feet. A helmet should always be worn, even if you don’t think it is cool. I have seen several people who have died in minor accidents because of head injuries that would have been avoided if they had worn a helmet.

Even though bikers will say that their reason for wearing the boots is mostly for protection, the classic biker look is a reason as well. I have friends who wear their biker gear even if they are driving their trucks. If you were to bring up the example of a sport bike rider wearing tennis shoes, they will tell you that observation makes their point that those people aren’t real bikers. Let’s face it some guy with a flashy windbreaker and tennis shoes riding a little rice rocket doesn’t make you want to lock your doors when he rides by, now does he?

Let’s face it. Leather motorcycle pants are sexy! How many of us have looked in a mirror and wondered how we’d look in a set? Well, they’re worth the money you pay for them for a variety of reasons.

Leather pants are sexy!

First, I can think of few other materials that are going to protect you better if you lay your bike down. Leather is one of the best for taking a beating, but leaving the wearer unscathed. There are plenty of stories of riders who only avoided a hospital trip because of their leathers. There are a couple other materials that can protect a rider, but since Kevlar pants are expensive and not readily available, leather is the best choice.

Second, leather motorcycle pants are going to stand up to more wear than denim will. If you carry your wallet in your back pocket, it will wear out a denim pocket, especially when coupled with the vibration of a motorcycle. It will take a lot longer for leather to show the same daily abuse.

Leather pants can be bought in various styles, and if you already have a leather jacket, you can match your pants to your jacket. Like jackets, pants come in very simple styles, designed for comfort and not much else. There are also pants that come with braids and laces up the sides. These are particularly popular in women’s styles. If you have a jacket with a lot of metal on it, such as zippers or buckles, you can even find pants with these on them.

When shopping for pants, keep your bike in mind as well. Nothing is cooler than a rider who looks like all their stuff was made to coordinate. Having your own unique look is part of the point. One nice thing about there being such a variety of leather pants on the market is that if you are part of a riding club, you can wear the club jacket, and your pants will still make you stand out.

If leather pants are not your thing, or if you are using your motorcycle to commute to work, where you don’t want to be wearing leather motorcycle pants, leather chaps are a great alternative. With chaps, you can get similar protection, and can look great as well. But they can be easily removed when you arrive at your destination. These come in many similar styles to leather pants, so if there is a particular look you like, you are likely to be able to find it in either type of trouser.

Leather motorcycle pants are a great way to finish that perfect riding outfit you’ve been working on. There are many styles on the market, and there’s no doubt that you can find a set that will make you look awesome this year.
