The new AFX FX-39 DS (Dual Sport) helmet has improved quality, comfort and good looks all at a very reasonable price.

The new Arai Vector 2 is a careful evolution of the original Arai Vector (review), with a few new tweaks to...
Arai is making a big marketing push with the Profile, so I thought I’d start out by deconstructing some of their sales propaganda to see if I could sort out some of the claims. Arai says that the Profile has “so many new features and such a completely new and...

The Spark motorcycle underwear is very soft and comfortable with impeccable tailoring and details. The excellent Dryarn fabric transfers moisture...
Controls moisture somewhat better than cotton underwear, but I’m not sold on wearing them in hot weather. LD Comfort (LD = Long Distance?) underwear or “undergarments”, as they’re called by the company, is the latest underground hit with touring and adventure touring riders. Most owners swear by them, so we...

The Sidi Slash street shoes or boots have mesh tops for excellent air flow. They have typical Sidi attention to safety but the absence of adjustability at the ankle may be problematic for some. Sidi is probably the King (and/or Queen) of motorcycle boots. I don’t suppose there is a...
