There’s also additional padding on the thumb area, and double stitching for maximum protection against road abrasion and crashes.

A good jacket should always be paired with an equally impressive pair of pants, and the Clover Italy Ventouring 2 WP pants aim to create a versatile all-around riding solution.

Velomacchi Giro Backpack 35L
The Velomacchi Giro is a motorcycle commuter’s best friend, offering a quick access, zippered rear compartment for a tablet or laptop. When it does start to rain, keep your electronics up front in the waterproof roll-top main compartment. What’s cool is, the shoulder strap harness of the Giro uses a patent-pending suspension system that features an upper strap that can pivot automatically, adjusting to the rider’s torso. This keeps the load across the sternum, allowing your arms to move freely. There are even tied down points to mount this bag to your bike, plus a tab for emergency contact information, a key pocket, hydration sleeve compatible (bladder not included), and a tire pressure gauge elastic sleeve.
