Summary
What actually matters when buying motorcycle gear? In this episode of the JUSTRIDE Podcast, we're joined by Ed from BikerHeadz, someone who's spent more than 30 years working in the motorcycle clothing industry. From riding motorcycles since the age of four to working with some of the biggest names in motorcycle gear, Ed has spent decades helping riders understand what works, what doesn't, and what really matters when it comes to staying comfortable, protected, and enjoying life on two wheels. We dive into the biggest myths surrounding motorcycle clothing, helmets, Gore-Tex, armour, gloves, boots, CE ratings, airbag systems, and the products that are genuinely changing the riding experience.
