What is Motorcycle Armor?

What is Motorcycle Armor?

Riding a motorcycle is an exhilarating sense of freedom, but it also comes with a significant risk of injury in the event of an accident. It’s important to wear the proper protective gear while riding to mitigate risk. Among the most important pieces of gear are motorcycle armor, which can help protect your body in the event of a crash.

There are two main types of motorcycle armor: CE Level 1 and CE Level 2. CE. CE, "Certification European," is a safety standard that is recognized throughout Europe and other parts of the world. Armor that meets this standard has been tested to ensure that it provides a certain level of protection.

CE Level 1 armor is the most basic level of protection. It is designed to protect against impact and abrasion, and is typically made from materials such as foam or plastic. This type of armor is typically found in entry-level motorcycle clothing and is often used in conjunction with other types of protective gear.

CE Level 2 armor, on the other hand, provides a higher level of protection. It is designed to protect against impact, abrasion, and penetration, and is typically made from materials such as high-density foam or plastic. This type of armor is typically found in higher-end motorcycle clothing and is used in conjunction with other types of protective gear. While it is the most protective, it can be made with ventilation and flexibility. 

CE Level 2 armor provides more protection than CE Level 1 armor, as it is designed to protect against a wider range of hazards. It's stronger so it is less likely to fail in the event of a crash, and it can help reduce the risk of injury or death.

Motorcycle armor is not a replacement for other types of protective gear such as helmets, gloves, and boots. All of these items should be worn together for maximum protection. Also, this does not mean that CE Level 1 armor is not safe or useless, it still provides a level of protection. 

Trinity gear comes with CE Level 2 armor included in the price of the product. We don’t sacrifice safety for style!
