FAQ

1. What should I look for in a motorcycle outfit for long trips?
You should look for a waterproof membrane (Dry-Tech, Gore-Tex or equivalent), good ventilation, certified rigid protectors and a comfortable fit for many hours of riding.

2. Are motorcycle outfits only suitable for the track or also for city riding?
No — there are urban models with discreet designs, integrated protections, and lighter materials, ideal for everyday use in the city.

3. What is the importance of CE homologation in motorcycle suits?
CE marking guarantees that the costume meets minimum safety standards (abrasion, impact, seams). Look for costumes with CE certification according to their intended use.

4. Should I choose a one-piece or two-piece suit?
It depends on your riding style: a one-piece suit offers maximum safety on the track; a two-piece suit (jacket + pants) offers more versatility for road or urban use.

5. How to choose the right size motorcycle suit?
Check the brand's size chart, consider using additional protection (e.g., knee pads), and adjust the suit so that it fits snugly but allows for comfortable movement.

6. Do adventure/off-road outfits differ from touring outfits?
Yes — adventure suits have reinforced fabrics, better ventilation, removable protectors, and a cut adapted for standing on a motorcycle; touring suits focus more on comfort in a seated position and protection against rain.

7. What brands of motorcycle apparel can I find at Maximo Moto?
We work with recognized brands that offer high quality, durability, and certification — check the collection to see the available models.

8. How to care for and maintain a motorcycle suit?
Follow the label instructions: clean after use in rain or mud, dry thoroughly, apply leather conditioner (if applicable), and periodically check the protective coverings and seams.

9. Can I wear tracksuits in everyday life?
Technically yes, but you may find less comfort or mobility due to the rigidity and specific track design; for daily use, an urban/touring model is more appropriate.
