Turtle for a biker is a necessary element of protection

Can you guarantee the safety when riding a motorcycle? There are no airbags, no frame, and similar equipment that is inherent in the car. And if we add to this a much more dynamic ride than by car, according to many people, motorcyclists — the real bombers. Good skills and good equipment are the only protection.

A significant role in security played by so-called turtle for the rider, which will be discussed in the article.

The Apparel

In this context, it is necessary to dispel the myths for some of the newcomers, believing that by purchasing and wearing the kit of expensive equipment, they can safely go to drive on the track. Unfortunately, such thoughts lead to sad consequences.

Please understand that no equipment can not hundred percent guarantee security while driving. Best no helmet, no fancy turtle for motorcyclists, nor even the most modern metacomments will not provide complete protection. The main thing that saves a man is his ability, skills and developed reflexes. Therefore, before proceeding to dynamic drive, start with a “bottom”.

Nevertheless, the women in many cases not only save from injuries and bruises, but also preserves life itself. Today, in every even small town can be purchased all equipment, including protection of the rider — the turtle. In Nizhny Novgorod you are or Moscow, Vladivostok or Simferopol: even if in specialized stores you will not find the necessary part, the Internet space will always help in the search.

Let us briefly Consider all components of the equipment.

Helmet

In many countries, including in Russia, this part in the gear is mandatory. According to statistics, thanks to the helmet it is possible to avoid up to forty percent of deaths in accidents. They come in different types: integral, modular, open. The most reliable are integral helmets that protect the head completely and from all sides, including the face and jaw.

Gloves

This component is also very important for motorcyclists though, because without gloves hand very fast weather-beaten and freeze. Besides, if you drive in the rain, the drops of water resemble the force of falling small stones.

Most of the crashes happen at low speeds, especially during training. Instinctively the man stretches out his hands to soften the blow. So many gloves just help out at these classes.

Bots

The Shoes are often ignored by many motorcyclists, but in vain. Often the legs are damaged in the knees and feet. From abrasions will help to protect mostany, which is made of durable fabric or leather with Kevlar in the composition. For the knees may be used by the special protection. But for the feet, which accounted for most of the damage to the feet, should use special shoes. In a pinch you can use army ankle boots with a hard sole.

To protect your feet in the fall, preferably as far as possible to jump from a motorcycle, as the probability is that he will squeeze the foot. Therefore, flip-flops or fancy shoes on the bike is better to forget.

Turtle for motorcyclists

The Chest, back and arms are able to protect a special outfit. This is a protection for bikers — turtle. No, this title has nothing to do with slowly trudging on the road motor transport. Everyone knows that these machines are actually “fly”.

The Analogy can be traced in a shell that protects the turtles from all the troubles of their lives. In many countries of Europe this piece of equipment is required along with a helmet. Such a policy is appropriate because of non-requirement of use in Russia, many riders simply ignore it. But in all accidents, elbows, collarbone, ribs and back are the first to suffer.

If the frontal collision, the motorcyclist beating his chest on the steering wheel. The fall leads to a fracture of the clavicle, spine and hands. Of course, the gear will not protect anyone completely. But the turtle for a motorcyclist is able to reduce the harm for the body, protect the vital organs and to dissipate a blow to the area, reducing it in the affected area.

Many motorcyclists believe that motocorsa will be sufficient to ensure the safety of your body. However, it is not so.

The Main difference lies in the degree of protection. If a tortoise is for motorcyclists is a kind ofarmor that is worn over the clothes, motokura — it's a piece of clothing with separate plates of protection. Use motocourse in the heat will be uncomfortable. But the turtle can be blown by the wind, which will provide the rider with the riding comfort.

How to select the protection for motorcyclists - turtle

The market is of two types:

• Road;
• Cross.

The Role of highways is to lead strikes, and to protect the joints from damage and Erasure due to slipping on the road. In such places are “Cup”, having shock absorbing ability.

In the motocross models, is a hard shell that protects from flying stones and twigs along the way.

And one, and another turtle for a biker has its advantages and disadvantages. With ‘crossbike” it will be difficult for the friction on the asphalt, but the ride with them seamlessly and freely. With ‘roadies" all the contrary: they will hamper the movement, but in the fall will provide great protection.

The Prices for such equipment vary depending on its type, manufacturer, and can range from five to fifteen thousand rubles and above.

You Should consider the following parameters when you select a turtle for motorcyclists:

• Price;
• Operating conditions;
• Size as it depends on the degree of future protection.

Experts do not recommend to purchase the jumpsuit with automatic protection. Put it on yourself alone is rather problematic, and to be in that suit without a motorcycle very uncomfortable. But when driving the body has an ideal position, and in the fall it will show what you are capable of. Moreover, recently in these overalls appeared embedded airbags. So the model itself is quite reminiscent of the car body.

Best of all all parts of equipment be purchased separately. Then at least the size will be an ideal pick.
