Just like our bikes, our riding gear comes in all shapes and sizes. While there really is no rule stating that your gear has to match your bike, given the fact that most of us motorcycles are rather vain, this is almost always the case. Take sportbike riders, for example. Even on the street, you'll often see them clad in their full leather suits, rocking knee, elbow, and even shoulder sliders.
While this is indeed on the extreme side of the spectrum, there's also gear that's designed specifically for the street, while retaining that sporty look – and of course, certified safety technology. A good example of this would be Vanucci's VST-1 leather riding pants. Now, Vanucci is a fairly new player in the gear industry, but despite its juvenile status, the brand has made quite a name for itself thanks to its affordable, stylish, and protective gear. It is, after all, a brand under popular German gear distributor Louis Moto.
