High Visibility Riding Gear from Harley-Davidson

When it comes to safety on your Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Bartel's Harley-Davidson has it at the top of our priority list. Being seen is one of the most important safety features on a bike that you can ask for. You can control your riding, but you can't control other drivers. The best you can do is to make sure that they can see you and your motorcycle. Check out our information on our reflective equipment to better understand the importance of such gear. If you still have questions, you can always call, email, or visit our dealership in Marina Del Rey and only a short ride from Malibu and Santa Monica.

Higher Visibility: 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Tech

Most normal reflective material will light up some when headlights hit it, but at more than around 100 feet that material is almost invisible. Harley-Davidson wouldn't settle for less than the very best when designing the lineup of reflective motorclothes, which is why Harley-Davidson riding gear uses 3M Scotchlite reflective material on all of their high visibility gear to make you easy to spot on the road. Traditional reflective material scatters light in all directions, which is why it's tough to spot from longer distances. Scotchlite material uses retro-reflective technology to direct light straight back at the source, making you easily visible from distances up to 500 feet! This extra distance gives cars more time to react to you on the road, and they give you the confidence to ride safely even when the sun is going down.

Fashion and Function!

All the high tech reflective material in the world won't help you if it's on a jacket you don't want to be caught wearing, so Harley-Davidson has incorporated reflective material into a wide range of stylish riding apparel! Men and women will both find plenty of great riding jackets outfitted with Scotchlite reflective material, whether you're looking for an aggressive leather jacket with some tough Willie G. skull graphics, or a slick vented riding jacket that just makes your ride more comfortable, we've got you covered. Ladies are sure to find something they'll like as well with a host of leather and synthetic jackets with styles that are both tough, and feminine. While your jacket is one of the more visible pieces of apparel, you should also check out our other reflective gear, including riding gloves, and full rain suits!

Reflective Rain Gear

Whether it's steady rain or just a light drizzle, rain can be a pretty serious hazard when you're riding. Not only do the roads get slick, but visibility gets low with all the spray of the road. To make sure that you can be spotted amidst the rain, check out a Harley-Davidson rain suit! This rain gear is designed to provide the best rain protection on the road with extra durable construction, breathable micro porous material, and of course plenty of wide bright swaths of 3M reflective material to ensure that drivers coming from every angle can see you clearly!
