Harley Davidson leather jackets are a great way to show off your fashion sense. Harley Davidson is a known trademark in the motorcycle industry. These classic jackets will never go out of style. However, their purpose is not only limited to their elegant fashion statement, they are also used as protective gear and loved for their comfort.

What you cover your body with driving has a considerable relation to road safety. Finding the perfect Harley leather jacket is not super hard. Follow the steps below to find the right leather jacket for you.

• Best Fit - It is necessary that you choose a leather jacket that fits you well. This works for both men and women. Harley Davidson has a wide selection of designs plus sizes of women's and men's coats that you can choose from. Make sure that the jacket fits you comfortably and securely. Keep in mind; the reason you are getting one is for your road safety, not just for fashion! Pick the one that cannot easily be taken off in the event of an accident.

• Best Thickness - The right thickness of a leather jacket will keep you protected. A thin one can tear easily, thus exposing your skin to the ground. Be sure to choose the right thickness with your leather jacket if you are a serious rider.

• Best Design - One of the most important things to know about your leather jacket is the style. One thing that you should look for in a Harley motorcycle jacket is that its sleeves should have snaps. These snaps lock up the gloves in your hands. So in the event of an accident, your hands are always protected.

Which style of Harley Davidson Motorcycle Helmet is right for you?

For many bikers, choosing a helmet is a big part of the excitement when purchasing a motorcycle. However, when it comes time to pick the perfect helmet it can be easy to become overwhelmed by the wide variety of helmets available. Here are the three most common styles of motorcycle helmets and a brief description of the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Full-face Helmets: A full-face motorcycle helmet is the most popular with those who ride racing motorcycles as they provide additional protection at high speeds. A full-face helmet covers the entire head from above the brow line to the base of the skull at the nape of the neck. Harley Davidson motorcycle helmets are sold in all styles, but full-face helmets are slowly becoming the most popular. With a full face protective visor to block sun, rain, snow and even insects this helmet leaves very little to be desired. The interior of the helmet has more padding than some other styles and is vented for air circulation. Though full-face helmets are the most heavy of all motorcycle helmet designs they do offer the most over-all protection.

Three quarter Shell Helmet: Three quarter shell helmets have been the most common in the past few years and are the choice of most motorcycle police officers. Similar to the full-face helmet, three quarter shell helmets cover the head completely and are secured using a chin strap and chin cup. This style of helmet is preferred by those who log on the miles with day long tours and rally rides because they often include headsets for music and communicating with other bikers.

Half Shell Helmet: Half shell helmets, or “beanie helmets” as they are sometimes called, are the popular choice with owners of classic older Harley Davidsons. These helmets cover only the top portion of the head and offer very little protection. It is believed that those who wear half shell helmets would prefer to wear nothing at all and only do so because of the helmet laws which have been enforced in the past few years. This type of helmet is not recommended for those who enjoy racing bikes or large touring motorcycles due to the limited and often ineffective protection. Beanie helmets are very rarely padded and are secured to the head with a very small and minimal chin strap.

Harley Davidson clothing is really a must but a lot of clothing that is fun to wear and shows your love for your Harley doesn't offer much safety protection. Did you know that the greatest number of motorcycle injuries happen below your waist. Since your legs and feet are particularly exposed, it is crucial that you wear safety pants and a good pair of high boots. Make sure your safety pants are reinforced at both the knees and hips.

Boots should be constructed of heavy, durable leather and a flexible sole so the foot can repel crushing of the foot. Harley Davidson motorcycle clothing is traditionally made of leather, but a good quality, synthetic materials like nylon will also work.

In safety abrasion tests, regular denim jeans only lasted 0.6 seconds where protective motorcycle pants or Kevlar reinforced jeans lasted 5 seconds or more. Every second counts during a motorcycle accident. Same thing applies to Harley Davidson motorcycle jackets. If you choose a leather motorcycle jacket, make sure that is quality, thick leather and not just "pretty" leather.

Your elbows and shoulders areas of the jacket should be reinforced with protection material. In addition, remember your hands! If you go into a slide, you will automatically throw your arms out in front of you with your palms face down to try and stop your slide. So, protective gloves with reinforced palms are very important. Now, that you have purchased good Harley Davidson safety protection clothing - Wear It! Doesn't help you much if it is stored in the closet.
