Motodyshyvod separate: review and reviews

Motor season in Russia is sometimes very short. If you can actually skate in the US all year round, just moving from one part of the country to another, then we have a season lasting only three to four months. The vagaries of the weather make it even less, especially in areas with a rainy climate (for example, St. Petersburg and Karelia).

Even a motorcyclist in complete equipment experiences a certain discomfort during prolonged rains. Motorcycle is a proven tool that will help to cope with this kind of trouble. The article, which will tell you about the features of motorcycle rain, was created on the basis of feedback from experienced motorcyclists.

Purpose

Based on the name, even a person unfamiliar with the topic can say that this type of equipment is designed to protect the motorcyclist from the rain. However, not everyone knows that it also creates additional protection against dirt and wind. A waterproof suit is put on top of the motorcycle equipment and creates an additional protective barrier, thereby not only protecting the driver's body from hypothermia, but also allowing to keep the basic equipment intact.

Materials

Motorcycles are made of synthetic material. They are durable, light and do not get wet. The costume can look like a one-piece overall, and jackets and pants. Which option to choose depends on the preferences of the rider. One-piece overalls provide better protection against rain, but individual trousers and a jacket are in many cases more convenient.

At the end and the beginning of the season, as well as in the off-season - motodozhidik will be useful in any weather, protecting the driver from the wind and, therefore, from the cold. This is especially true in the beginning of autumn, when the summer heat is still in the daytime, and in the evening and at night the air temperature drops sharply. With the usual equipment, the rider has to decide what is more convenient: dress warmly and tolerate the heat in the daytime or dress easily and freeze in the evening. In travels over long distances in the autumn-spring months, this is especially noticeable if you move in a direction from north to south or vice versa, or in distances through mountain roads. In this case, the driver can wait for serious temperature changes.

Main Criteria

As already mentioned above, motozdeviki are integral and separate. Models from the first category have a high degree of watertightness, but the overalls are quite hard to put on, especially if the driver is in a hurry. However, the price of whole rainwear is usually much lower than for separate raincoats.

Raincoats, consisting of jackets and pants, are considered a universal option. Unlike the overalls, in different weather conditions the rider has the opportunity to put on individual parts of the suit, if the motorcycle rain is separate. The description of such situations is simple: a rain jacket will be useful to use in travel, for example, to wear while walking, if it suddenly starts to rain, or if additional protection from the cold is required during the winter. There are a lot of options, it all depends on what the driver does in addition to riding a motorcycle.

For racing

Separate raincoats for racing differ from the usual. Unlike a simple ride, during motorcycle races it is especially important that the motorcycle rain not only protects from moisture, but also adheres to the basic equipment. Racing models are different in that the landing at the jacket is tight and it is attached to the trousers. Despite the seeming versatility, this option is inconvenient for a normal ride, because wearing it is difficult.

Complexity in simplicity

It would seem that a motorcycle rain, separate or integral, is a completely primitive method of protection, which has existed for a long time, only the material from which it is produced has changed. And what is there to choose? But in reality everything is not so simple. In many industries you can hear that manufacturers release something "anyhow", it touched and raincoats. When looking at some models, there is a feeling that the designers are not even familiar with the rain, let alone the knowledge of the specifics of driving in bad weather conditions. Especially it affects if the motorcycle rain is separate.

Helpful Tips

The main task (protection from moisture) can be made and a simple polyethylene film, but a good motodozhdivik, separate including, with all this, must breathe to a certain extent, that is, create a favorable microclimate inside, which excludes the formation of a large amount of condensate. Another aspect that is worth paying attention to is a collar and a zipper. Especially it should be taken into account if the motorcycle rain is separate. Features in the design must be known from the very beginning. Pants and jacket are required to have additional protection, and this is not present in all models. The collar should be high enough: a good moisture protection is possible only if there is no gap between the helmet and the rain suit. Also good if there is a special lining, which protects the neck from irritation.

Lightning is preferable with a small tooth - so moisture and wind will be more difficult to get to the motorcyclist. An additional layer of material covering the slider should be on the Velcro.

A good indicator of the quality of the motorcycle racer is the presence of various fasteners and puffs, adjustments on the wrists, ankles, forearms. This creates an additional level of protection against moisture. Belts of adjustment on the chest, waist and legs allow you to adjust the suit for yourself, in which case it will not only perform its functions well, but will not interfere with driving at all.

In addition

After buying a motorcycle goggle it is worth remembering that you can not leave without protection and shoes. Even the latest model's boots are soaked in a few hours in the pouring rain, even those that are claimed to be "waterproof". Simple hypothermia of the feet can knock the driver off with a cold, this is especially unpleasant in long travel, when there is no opportunity to have a good rest or go to the hospital. Nobody wants to miss a few days because of a cough, and a motorcyclist can come back with complications of the disease.

Equally important is the aspect of saving equipment: good motorbikes are not the cheapest thing. That's why special motorcycle rain boots are produced. In a set with a motorcycle goggle, they provide excellent protection against bad weather.

About marks and types

Excellent claimed themselves motodozhdeviki and shoe covers brands Alpinestars, Dragonfly, KTM, IXS, Spyke. IXS Orsa 2 - motodozhdevik-overalls, and IXS Horton - motodozhivik separate, reviews about it are also positive.

Some models are designed to protect against a short rain, some, on the contrary, are designed specifically for driving under a downpour. The prices are different: from a thousand rubles to tens of thousands. Cheap raincoats can be bought in simple construction stores, but motorcycle ones - only in stores that specialize in selling motor clothes. It is enough to make a budget of two thousand rubles to buy a model of medium quality, which will fully meet the needs of an ordinary motorcyclist (here we do not consider the notorious travelers who are able to drive many days in the pouring rain). If to someone even such sum will seem big, it is necessary to recollect, that a moto-gadget will serve many years, and besides not time will hide from a rain.

About sizes

If the motorcycle rain is separate, the overview of the parameters for selection can be very large, but special attention should be given to the size. Just like with clothes, it must be tried on before buying, preferably wearing a full set of its motorcycle gear, because the motorcycle rain should not only protect from the rain, but also be comfortable. The first thing you should pay attention to when choosing the size is a general fit on the motorcycle.

It is necessary that they are somewhat longer than the sleeve and there is more space for the shoulders. In case the costume is compound, you need to pay attention to the length of the jacket: it must cover the pants with any change in the landing of the driver, otherwise under the raincoat will drain the water. But do not choose too large a size: it will only be harmful if the motorcycle is separate. For a motorcycle, drivers do not regret anything, but their own comforts are sometimes disliked, so choose carefully.

The pockets of the raincoat should be of such width that you can easily and quickly put on your trousers without taking off your shoe, although this can be problematic in the case of a mesh lining.

It looks like a separate motorcycle rain, the photo below demonstrates it.

Convenient things

Such a trifle, as a way of fastening a separate rain suit, seems not at all important, but often trifles bring the most inconvenience. Perhaps, everyone knows how difficult it is to zip up the mittens. Trying to cope with the clasp in motorcycle gloves is almost the same, so it's better if the zipper is equipped with a large tongue so that you do not have to take them off every time.

Conveniently the same way, if the moto-gadget has at least one moisture-tight pocket inside or outside, where you can store important items in quick access: passport and other documents, money, phone and bank cards. If the pocket is external, a protective valve is required for it above the zipper, otherwise water will enter it.

Security

During the bad weather, even during the day visibility is greatly reduced, which is the dark time of the day, therefore, an important function of any waterproof clothing is visibility. The motorcyclist must be as visible on the road as possible to reduce the likelihood of an accident. Therefore it is necessary to choose motorcycle gliders of bright color, preferably with the presence of light reflecting elements. Separate raincoats with these inserts not only look beautiful, but allow the driver to remain on the road visible in any weather and time of day.
