Winter is just around the corner so you might need a very warm winter outfit, especially if you own any of the desireable KTM adventure range?

If so, you might want to take a look at this new 2019 Defender suit. Both items are 100% waterproof/windproof and therefore will repel any icy gale that blatantly and rudely attacks you, because of the fancy internal membrane.

You’ll also notice the addition of real leather panels in various areas, which give the whole suit a very cool retro and rather posh feel.

Price: Defender jacket R4,120  Pants R3,299

If you own any classic motorcycle, or indeed any of the new range of retro bikes that are being introduced yearly, then you must have one of these?

The Shoei J.O. range is without doubt the most beautifully painted of its kind, and these are only two of the designs now available in SA.

Not only are they gorgeous but they also have a drop-down internal visor system, and of course, oodles of Shoei unsurpassed build quality and protection as well. Very desirable on all counts, right?

Never mind that though it’s highly attractive and full of interesting features to help the rider in all conditions, from snow to 40-degree sweaty temperatures. Very impressive and very desirable…

Without doubt the best selling road motorcycle gloves in the world, regarding colour choice, are black. Obviously it’s because they don’t show up contamination and dirt like bright colours do, and they always look very cool and mean.

Well here are a couple of interesting options at an affordable price. The short ones are for warm days and the longer versions are more for touring/superbike type of riding, both have fancy carbon knuckle protection. Tom Cruise likes this sort of glove and so should you, maybe?

Price: Short R650  Long option R849
