Indian Motorcycle Saint Motorcycle Gear

I recently moved from sunny California to not-as-sunny Utah. Yes, Utah is beautiful, but year-round riding in a hoodie or a light jacket is a thing of the past. And I am a complete baby when it comes to being cold. This is where properly layering up comes in. I found some uber-comfy goods from Indian Motorcycle’s Performance Collection to help combat the elements and to also keep us comfy and cozy. We also found some new Moto Compression Socks from Saint so we had to give those a go too.

INDIAN PERFORMANCE COLLECTION
MEN’S ATHLETE HOODIE, $69.99, MEN’S LONG-SLEEVE T-SHIRT, $54.99

Indian Motorcycle’s Performance Collection is soft, supple (it feels good on the nips) and it wicks moisture very well, which is incredibly helpful since I sweat like a pig. Developed for Indian consumers who were interested in garments they could wear on and off the bike, the Performance Collection proves to be a versatile and comfortable line. The materials blend the comfort and versatility with the built-in 50-plus UV protection from the sun and the anti-odor technology (I wish my pits had anti-odor technology built-in). The Athlete Hoodie is made from 80% Nylon and 20% Elastane, which makes it soft and pliable. The grey long-sleeve t-shirt is made from 50% polyester, 40% Nylon and 10% Elastane to give it an even more comfortable and versatile fi t. I’ve worn both garments on and off

the bike and they provide a nice barrier against the cold temps, especially when mixed with three other jackets, of course. I’ve also worn them jogging and because of their moisture-wicking and anti-odor technologies, my wife isn’t totally repulsed by me after a long run anymore. Win-win!

SAINT COMPRESSION SOCKS
$49.99

What can be said about socks? Uh, they provide a barrier between your feet and your boots. The Saint Compression Socks, however, provide a snug and supportive feel while retaining the comfort you want from a sock. They also claim to help you on long journeys to help avoid cramps and fatigue and will stimulate your muscles on your rides. But $49 for a pair of socks is not something I’m familiar with. I’m more a how-many-socks-can-I-get-for-less-than-10-bucks kinda guy. Yes, these are medical-grade compression socks, which are meant to combat fatigue, etc., after long bouts in the saddle. But for 50 bucks, I’d rather keep the dough and just take a nap when I get tired.

SAINT ENGINEERED STRAIGHT FIT ARMORED JEAN
$199.99

Riding jeans are tricky. I always try to shop for jeans that don’t look like they’re from the post-apocalypse. It’s not very easy though. I’ve been a fan of Saint’s lineup of riding gear for a while and I dig its technolsimplistic style that pays attention to the things that matter like protection, comfort and style. With a timeless cut and comfortable stretch denim, the Saint Engineered Straight Fit jeans feature impact abrasion safety in the hips and knees with pockets and CE level 2 impact protectors that ensures the garment reaches a class AA CE rating. These are also simple and not tacky looking or trying too hard to be stylish. And I can definitely get behind that.
