Buying advice
What to check before you buy
🏷
Check the certification
Always verify ECE 22.06 for helmets. CE Level 1 or 2 for jacket armour. Never buy uncertified gear regardless of price.
📐
Fit over brand
A €150 helmet that fits perfectly beats a €400 one that doesn’t. Try before you buy when possible — brands vary widely.
🌧
Think about your climate
Southern France touring needs breathability. Alpine riding needs waterproofing. Match gear to your actual riding conditions.
🔄
System compatibility
Givi/Kappa monokey, RAM ball mounts, Quad Lock ecosystem — buy into a system so kit works together across bikes.
