Modern Motorcycle Riding Gear Tested Against Old Technology

It was back in the 1980's that motorcycle gear was just starting to diversify. For the longest time, the leather jacket and bucket of a fiberglass helmet were the norm on a motorcycle - if you wore a helmet then. Nowadays, though, things are much different; we have high-tech fabrics, electrically heated gear, Kevlar and carbon fiber helmets - and some awesome adventure gear too. So, as part of the U.K. motorcycle industry group's 'Get On' campaign, this huge leap in protective gear is being tested and evaluated to show just how far we have come.
