From next October 1drivers and passengers of motorcycles and mopeds must use protective gloves when traveling on interurban roads. A new obligation that focuses on one of the fundamental elements of the motorcyclist’s equipment and that LS2 wants to take this opportunity to remember the importance of choosing products specifically designed for riding a motorcycle.
The new regulations represent another step in terms of safety for users of 2-wheeled vehicles, but it also raises an important question: “Not all gloves offer the same features nor are they designed to protect hands in the event of a fall.“. For this reason, LS2 has launched a national campaign to raise awareness among bikers about the need to use gloves specifically developed for riding a motorcycle.
LS2 and its gloves: a fundamental safety element
The hands are one of the first parts of the body that we instinctively use to protect ourselves when we fall. At that time, having a glove designed for motorcycle riding can be essential to offer protection against abrasion and impacts, while allowing you to maintain the mobility necessary to control the motorcycle.
“The hands are one of the first parts of the body that we instinctively use to protect ourselves in the event of a fall. For this reason, a motorcycle glove should not be understood simply as a garment to protect us from the cold or fulfill an obligation, but as a fundamental element of safety equipment. With this campaign we want to remember that, if we are going to wear gloves, we must choose ones specifically designed to protect us on the motorcycle.”he declared Sergi FerrariProject Manager LS2 Europe.
From LS2 They insist that the arrival of the new regulations should also serve to raise awareness about the importance of choosing the right equipment before getting on the motorcycle. It is not just about wearing gloves, but about using a product designed specifically for the needs of a motorcyclist.
A glove for every type of motorcyclist
The choice of glove must also take into account the type of driving done and the weather conditions. A biker who uses his motorcycle daily in the city does not need the same as someone who takes long road trips, practices sports driving or enjoys “adventure” routes.
For this reason, LS2 has a wide range of approved gloves for “men and women”, with different proposals aimed at the main types of driving: racing, touring, urban and adventure. The brand’s offer also includes alternatives adapted to different temperatures and times of the yearseeking to combine protection, comfort and freedom of movement.
LS2, protection for every type of driving
The entry into force of the new obligation makes gloves an even more present element in everyday life. For LS2this change also represents an opportunity to highlight the importance of using specialized equipment and choosing it based on the use made of the motorcycle.
As we will never tire of repeating, with its range of gloves, LS2 offers different solutions to accompany the motorcyclist throughout the year and in different driving scenarios. From models sports even proposals touring, urban either adventurethe brand is committed to making hand protection part of the normal equipment of any motorcycle user.
