Waterproof, Windproof, Breathable  iXS has just revealed their all-new textile jacket – and judging by the specs, it’s a goodie.  We’ve reviewed a few of iXS’s items before; from the Vidar gloves that we were able to try out, to the Curtis Jacket that our top-notch reviewer Rick covered back in 2016, the brand seems …

When Merlin released their Biker Collective, we were impressed by the bold move of the brand. The concept was clever; what better way to shape a company’s products and get gear out there (while feeding quality vibes to the motorcycle community) than by picking three normal run-of-the-mill sapiens addicted to the twisties, supporting their rides …

Italian Leather and Waterproof? – Yes, Please.  Since 1979, Italian motorcycle footwear company Stylmartin has been using premium-grade components sourced locally (as much as possible) to create stylish footwear for the motorcycling community – and their new addition, christened the Double WP, is a perfect fit for the urban commuter. The report from RideApart also …

Your hands will likely be some of the first body parts that get cold when you’re riding in winter (unless you have the luxury of heated grips—in which case, this writer is extremely jealous). But a good pair of winter riding gloves will help prevent the chill from settling into your fingers and knuckles, letting …

A Lumberjack for the Lanes Amidst the plethora of motorcycle gear brands that aim for the average daily rider comes a new addition to the segment from the French district – and being Canadian and born into a plaid loincloth, you’ll forgive the enthusiasm of this particular gear drop.  Meet Segura’s newest jacket on the …

For The Rough-And-Toughest Motorcycle gear brand ELEVEIT has just debuted their new MUD MAXI Technical Apparel for their 2022 Collection – and the gear comes in a bunch of colors so you can play matchy-match with your bike of choice.  “The Veneto-based company ELEVEIT, manufacturer of technical clothing and footwear for the two-wheel world, presented …

We’re an ATGATT company, but if there’s one piece of gear you should prioritize above all the rest, it’s most definitely your helmet. After all, broken arms, legs, and ribs can heal, but broken skulls? Not so much. Fortunately, Revzilla’s got the goods you need this week with select Sena helmets over 50% off. See …

Motorcycle riding gear isn’t just about what’s on the surface. Investing in a few protective inserts or pieces with built-in armor can save your bacon in a slide—and this week, our friends at Revzilla are making it easier than ever to do that with some brand new deals. This list includes guards, inserts, and even …

British motorcycle gear brand Merlin has just released a sweet pair of leather jackets to complement the all-new Gold Star that BSA released for the public on December fourth.  Following a press release, we learned that Merlin was in full support of BSA’s comeback – and with a shiny machine like the Gold Star resurrecting …

These prices might seam too good to be true, but …

Joanne Donn takes her work seriously.  She’s the showroom manager for RevZilla’s new store in Denver, Colorado, built in the heart of what the locals call the “RiNo” art district – a community that is as saturated with diverse flavors as it is welcoming of new ones.  For Donn, the store couldn’t have possibly chosen …

Some of these items are majorly marked down, so don’t wait to check them out. See our choices below or click here. …

Leg protection is critical when you’re riding, and regular jeans won’t cut it if you end up in a slide. That’s why every rider needs tough pants that won’t come apart if they hit pavement. This week, Revzilla’s offering 21% off select Iron Workers pants for men and women. Check out these deals below or …

Overview of the Bikecomm BK-S2 System wBW has been reviewing Bikecomm branded products for over ten years, including what was one of the first hybrid wired/wireless modular systems on the market—the Bikecomm BK-02 Group Intercom Communications System.

Every day, I celebrate the diversity of the motorcycle community.  Whether a cruise-inclined tourer, a track-lover, or “they’re just in it for the aesthetics”, our community accepts riders for who they are, uniting wise and wacky alike under the umbrella of undying love for the ride. One of the addicting things about riding (I can …

Deals We Love This Week: 20% Off Select Alpinestars Motorcycle Jackets A motorcycle jacket should protect you from the elements as well as the road—and it doesn’t hurt if it looks good doing it. Alpinestars jackets score major points on all of those fronts. Below, check out some of our favorite Alpinestars motorcycle jackets currently …

When running errands or short rides, my default is to wear jeans. I don’t like walking around in heavy and hot riding pants. I am all for All The Gear All The Time (ATGATT), but I don’t always put it into practice.  I am hoping the Richa Softshell Mesh WP Pants change that. Over the …

Richa Airstorm WP Jacket: Warm Weather Comfort with a Waterproof Liner I can be a bit of a YouTube junkie when it comes to motorcycles. Over the last couple of years, I have followed several UK-based YouTubers (the Missenden Flyer and Richy Vida, to name two) that often wear Richa gear. Intrigued by the brand, …

The original iASUS EAR3 Amplifier Review, done by Rick and published January 2016 had lots of good information on how to get the best helmet audio (with or without an amplifier of some sort), and how to also protect your hearing—all of which is still applicable today. Some things have changed since that original review, …

Deals We Love This Week: Motorcycle Boots Over 20% Off Smart and safe riding requires more than your average pair of sneakers or (God forbid) sandals. If you’re looking for reliable protection that covers your feet and ankles, you’re going to need a solid pair of motorcycle boots. Made from stronger and more rigid materials than …

America’s First Motorcycle Company has just released an all-new electric youth bike for the mini masses.

On September 10th, I covered a new tech prototype that was being tested for stab-proof vests. The material was a variable-rigidity chainmail-style of interlinked shapes that allowed the user full flexibility without compromising on protection.  Today, we’re talking about non-Newtonian materials (substances that absorb shock or stiffen on impact) in the business of protective gear …

My Riding Gear History Like many including myself when I first began riding, I had no issues spending money on a jacket. Back in the day how it ‘looked’ seemed more important to me than how much protection it offered. Textile riding gear was not a big thing and the only company who ‘seemed’ into …

My Marrakesh Introduction Ugh, jackets. I have searched long and hard for a 12 step program for jackets. Bags too. The problem with both is they are legal to purchase, carry and wear be it in public or in the privacy of my own home. One of the only reasons I’m happy with my age-failing …

Fieldsheer Mobile Cooling Long Sleeve Shirt: Versatile Cooling Base Layer A friend recently asked what I had in the pipeline for reviews. When I mentioned the Mobile Cooling T-shirt, he looked at me oddly and said sarcastically, ‘that should be exciting.’ I must admit we here at WBW get to review some pretty cool stuff, …

For me, motorcycle gloves are almost as important as my helmet. In 2001, I was looking at a pair of Held gloves at Helimot’s shop since Helimot sponsored our team. When I asked him the price and he said “Mark they are $450.00.” GULP WTF did he say!? When he saw my expression he simply …

It was a hot July summer evening, and this chikita had just finished her beginner’s motorcycle course. I was stoked, sure…more importantly, I was desperately in need of good gear. I beelined for the nearest local moto dealership, on a mission to find something that fit better than the horror I had MacGyvered for the …

Being relatively new to motorcycling, the idea of special base layers was a bit foreign to me. As a fan of Powersports, I knew that MotoGP and World SBK riders had their base layers to go under their one-piece leathers, and being familiar with the Dakar rally, I knew that multiple layers for riders was …

Introduction I will start by saying I am all for All The Gear All The Time (ATGATT). However, I’ll be honest and say that I often wear most of the gear all the time, as I often switch out riding pants for jeans. I am hoping the Gryphon Moto Indy pants change that. The Indy …

Raven Rova Falcon Pants The Raven Rova Falcon pants are a textile and leather hybrid that offers a fantastic combination of more unique features than I was expecting. I live in Phoenix, AZ, and I am ALWAYS on the lookout for gear that I believe will combine the airflow I want with the safety and …

Freedom of expression is so incredibly important to the motorcycle community – without it, riders wouldn’t be who they are today.  Vic Bath, a Sikh, Canadian motorcyclist and creative lead at marketing firm Zulu Alpha Kilo, grew up with a father who saw the Harley Davidson motorcycle as a symbol of that freedom – and …

The title of this article has been changed to better suit Klim and In&Motion’s airbag payment methods. Despite the diversity of the moto industry, the one thing that unities the industry is a unified concern for road safety. Klim, a motorcycle gear and apparel company, struck gold when they partnered with In&Motion – a company …

Background Not that many years ago we were getting ready to go on our first extended motorcycle trip and I decided I needed to buy myself some dedicated motorcycle pants. Up to that point, I had been riding in heavy jeans, mostly because that’s all they had for women riders. I went down to my …
