Rating of the best comforters for 2020

Many articles talk about selection criteria motorcycle helmet, however, most often no one talks about motorcycle liners, and this is an important component of motorcycle equipment. And it is for this reason that this article presents a ranking of the best motorcycle saddles for 2020.

What are they needed for?

Motorcycle liners are essential for personal hygiene and rider comfort. At the same time, this product also plays a protective role. When the visor is open, it protects the rider from dirt, wind and dust.

When it's cold, it helps to conserve heat, and if you put on a comforter, the motorcycle driver's helmet will not slip on the head, which causes inconvenience while driving.

Such accessories differ in material and appearance. Almost every motorcyclist has several liners in reserve, which are used depending on the season.

What are they made of?

There are many different models that differ in the material of execution. For this reason, some models are enough for only a couple of washes, while others are used for several seasons with a competent approach. The most common materials are listed below.

Cotton

Natural and affordable material, popular with newbies. More qualified motorcyclists do not use these for a long time, because, despite the comfort of wearing, cotton liners cause inconvenience during use: after several washes, the already fragile cotton fabrics become even thinner and the accessory begins to tear.

Polyester fabrics with cotton

This solution is the most acceptable and the most common, since a product in which symbiosis is present, at the end provides a strong and at the same time soft fabric, pleasant to use.

With regard to washing, it is worth noting that wear is carried out slowly, since the fabric is strong and elastic. Such comforters easily twist and stretch, while not changing the appearance.

From silk

The most expensive fabric. Products made from this material are perfectly worn, do not wear out from constant washings and have a pleasant to the touch effect. However, at their own cost, they are much more expensive than all other models, which is why it is recommended to purchase such a comforter only when the motorcyclist is allergic to synthetic fabrics.

Viscose

Viscose is growing in popularity every year. This material makes it possible to successfully model any fiber, up to wool, silk, etc. Chinese manufacturers almost 100% use only it, since viscose yarns, as you know, are dense and strong by their own structure.

In this regard, before purchasing a silk liner, it will not be superfluous to think about whether it is more profitable to buy a viscose one, since its cost is several times lower, and the quality is at the same level.

Synthetic materials are not suitable for every rider. Some motorists are allergic to this material. For its part, natural fibers provide anti-allergenic properties.

In second place is the price. There are many different solutions on the market, differing not only in fabric and appearance, but also in cost. It makes no sense to buy expensive ones, since quality does not always mean high cost.

In third place is design. The choice according to this criterion also depends on the shape of the driver's helmet, and they are closed and open.

What are they?

When buying a motorcycle helmet, not only the material but also the type of accessory is taken into account.

Whole

More common under the name "balaclava". For products of this type, only the visual zone is open, and in some cases the mouth. Will be a good choice for half face motorcycle helmets. The one-piece liners guarantee 100% protection from dust and wind, while keeping the fibers of the lining free from dirt.

Beanies

In such comforters, the head is closed and the face area is open. There is nothing special about them, they are cheap and convenient. The disadvantage of this type is only in the lack of protection for the respiratory organs and the face (for example, from the wind).

Tubular

Cover the lower facial area and neck. There are comforters for the summer and winter seasons. By the way, this variety is the most common among motorcyclists. Often they are made with fleece insulation.

Masks

They are used to protect the respiratory system. The models are also affordable and comfortable, but they do not protect the base of the lining from dirt. Very common among bikers who ride choppers.

Buffs

The most versatile type of motorcycle liner. It has a structure that makes it possible to use it in a wide variety of solutions - from a hat or bandana to a pipe and balaclava.

It's important to remember about quality. Despite the fact that the motorcyclist suits the design and likes the cost, it is not recommended to lose sight of this criterion. The comforter should look nice and not let down while driving.

Regardless of which option is preferred by the motorcycle rider, the liner must wick away excess moisture and promote normal breathing while riding.

The liner should stretch well and return to its original form. This sign indicates the quality of the purchased product and its durability.

• For summer, materials that are well ventilated and perfectly absorb moisture are a good choice. In winter, it is better to buy models with insulation;
• To make it extremely comfortable to breathe in the liner, perforation inserts should be located in the area of ​​the nose and mouth;
• If the motorcyclist's skin is highly sensitive and there is a predisposition to allergies, it is not recommended to purchase synthetic models;
• You need to feel the model before purchasing. It is necessary that the material is pleasant, since the comforter will come into direct contact with the skin.
