Neck padding: your ally against the cold

On a motorcycle, the neck is especially prone to cold. That is why special equipment is needed for comfortable road conditions. Have you tried the scarf? Thick and bulky, this accessory impedes the pilot's movement and prevents him from controlling his blind spots. Only a motorcycle neck strap is able to effectively protect this area from the cold, while maintaining the comfort and mobility of the rider. But what does it look like and how to choose it?

What is a motorcycle neck strap?

This accessory is indispensable for many bikers. Its main purpose: to protect you from wind and cold. This piece of fabric slips easily around your neck and protects you from the elements. It should be comfortable and not interfere with your mobility. Thus, you will maintain the level of safety and increase the level of comfort, especially in winter.

The shape of the neck allows for easy donning of this equipment. In addition, it is often made from stretchy textiles. It is best to put it on before putting on your jacket, gloves and helmet. You must adjust it before setting off to become an effective cold barrier. You will increase or decrease it depending on the ambient temperature and your requirements.

What is a universal neck warmer?

If the classic necklace simply protects the neck from the cold, then the universal model will also cover the upper chest, mouth, nose and ears. Ideal for the winter season, this more complete outfit is a real barrier against the cold. Some can even turn into balaclavas or hats!

The neck size should be appropriate for your riding style. Indeed, bikers who only ride motorcycles in the summer will not have the same requirements as those who ride all year round. Please note that various textile materials developed by OEMs are able to guarantee a pleasant touch, effective protection from cold, wind, high wear resistance and excellent water resistance.

Textile material

Chokers stand out, on the one hand, for the design material. Indeed, different textiles can be used. Each has its own characteristics. So you can wear an accessory that is especially pleasant to the touch. Some will be warmer and more breathable than others. I advise you to opt for breathable textiles. This will limit perspiration and the resulting moisture will be quickly removed. Otherwise, the neckband will stay wet if you sweat. Then it will quickly become uncomfortable to wear.

You will also have the opportunity to pamper yourself with a waterproof neck warmer. So you will no longer be afraid of the rain! You will always run dry. Some synthetic fabrics, such as polyester, are known for their resistance to cold, wind and wear. Breathable, they play their role flawlessly!

Natural textile fibers such as cotton are also of interest. This fabric is very soft to the touch, hypoallergenic and absorbs moisture well. Thus, in terms of comfort, it can meet the expectations of the most demanding bikers!

Size

Most neck warmers fit one size fits all. Indeed, this accessory is not designed to fit perfectly on this part of the body. Thus, he can adapt to all body types. However, some models are regulated. Thus, there is an adjustment system for tightening or loosening the neck strap and allows the pilot to best protect himself from wind and cold. If you have doubts about the one size fits all, you can choose the adjustable model.

Aesthetics

To meet the expectations of all bikers, equipment manufacturers are no longer limited to offering all-black neck warmers. You can easily find other colors or patterns with patterns. So you can develop your femininity on the handlebars of your two-wheeled bike!

Take some time to browse the range of neck warmers in our Les Bikeuses online store and let yourself be seduced by practical, efficient and original equipment!

price

A neck strap is one of the cheapest motorcycle gear. But be careful, the goal is not to pick the cheapest model you can find. You must demand a good level of quality to be reliable, and hope that this new accessory will last for a long time. Specifically, you can be picky about the price, but don't forget that quality has a price!

For more than 50 years, this company has put its expertise in the service of protecting motorcyclists. Its logo features a polar bear from the Arctic sea ice. This drawing was not chosen by chance! Indeed, this animal personifies the strengths of Bering's two-wheeled technique: resistance to water, cold, shock and slip.
