I stopped by 2Rinkan and bought this one at a discount.
Can be worn under pants in compliance with CE standardsRS TAICHI's Stealth Knee Guard (Hard)Knee shin guards that fit over the knee like a supporter.
knee-shin guard
A guard that protects the knees and shins.
So, a knee guard is like a cup that you attach to your knee, but without the shin part.
The CE standard is an industrial product standard in the EU (European Union).
Motorcycles have their own safety gear performance standards, and forearm, elbow, buttock, knee, and shin protectors must absorb 30% of the impact and reduce it to 70% in order to receive the mark.
By the way, there are two separate spinal protector standards.
- Level 1: Absorbs 64% of impact and reduces it to about 1/3.
- Level 2: Absorbs 82% of impact and reduces it to about 1/5
I've heard that.
The end of the 20th century. The reason I got off the bike was because I had a scary experience on the XJR400R that I rented for a business trip to Hokkaido after a few years of not having a bike at hand for a while after I started working.
The reason why I get off the bike when I have a near-miss experience is because......
- I was working.
In my mid-twenties to early thirties, when I was single, I was an executive at a venture company, so I had the illusion that the company would not be able to run without me.
This illusion will continue until I step down and make sure the company is safe.
- Because I'm married.
If you get injured and can't work, it will affect your partner's life. I've been married twice..... Divorced twice too..... orz
Neither of us was the type to be opposed to riding motorcycles, so we took it easy.
And although I'm single and running my own company now, I think I can handle it even if I get stuck. .... This is the reason for my return. But I am aware of how much I will lose if I get injured.
You can't ride a motorcycle without at least a full armored jacket and safety shoes or riding shoes.
Knee shin guards are also a must for touring where you plan to drive more than 100km on the highway.
I enjoy motorcycling from the stance of "I'm not a motorcyclist.
The only problem is that it looks a bit too much like.....
This is my winter gear when I went to Higashi-Izu to watch the first sunrise from midnight on New Year's Eve, but it's usually like this for middle to long touring. The most unattractive one is the SIMPSON jacket. Too many riding jackets are designed to make you look like a weirdo when you're away from your bike.
After this.Single rider with protector attachedand summer, too.Mesh jacket without logoThe upper body problem has almost been solved, but the problem is the knee shin guard.
I use Komine's Knee Protector (SK-608), which is the number one best seller on Amazon.
A very satisfying product in terms of functionality.This is also a point that I wanted to improve, so I wanted to get one that I could wear under my pants.
The important thing is that it feels good to wear. There is no tightness, and even when worn under jeans, there is almost no discomfort when viewed from the outside. This timeShosenkyo TouringI wore it for a day and walked around Shosenkyo and up and down the stairs to Sen'e Falls, but there were almost no situations where I felt uncomfortable wearing it.
The disadvantage is that you have to go to the changing room to put your clothes back on before you leave the facility.KOMINEのSK-608Then, when I get off the bike, I can quickly take it off and throw it in my seat bag, which is a pain.
nonetheless"Enhances safety while helping to alleviate the feeling of ridership"I think it is a good product as a goodie. I think I'll buy a stealth guard for my elbow too......
