5 Must-Have Accessories For Riding In The Rain

Riding in the rain doesn’t have to mean riding in misery. With the right gear, you can stay dry, warm, and in control—no matter how heavy the downpour. At Hurtle Gear, we stock a wide range of motorcycle accessories designed specifically for wet weather. Here are five essential items every rider should have when the skies turn grey.

1. Waterproof Motorcycle Jacket
A high-quality waterproof jacket is your first line of defence against the elements. Look for options with thermal liners and sealed seams for maximum protection. Brands like REV'IT! and RST offer winter-ready textile jackets that not only block water but also keep you warm and visible in low-light conditions.

2. Rainwear Overpants
Rain can soak your lower half fast—unless you’ve got proper rain pants. Overpants are designed to slip over your riding gear quickly and keep you dry from waist to boots. Lightweight and compact, they’re easy to stash under your seat or in a backpack for unexpected showers.

3. Anti-Fog Helmet Insert
Nothing’s worse than your visor fogging up mid-ride. An anti-fog insert, such as a Pinlock or similar fog-resistant shield, ensures crystal-clear vision in all conditions. It’s a small investment that significantly boosts safety.

4. Waterproof Gloves
Cold, wet hands can make your ride uncomfortable and even dangerous. Choose gloves that combine waterproof membranes with thermal insulation. Both RST and REV'IT! offer excellent winter glove options that provide grip, warmth, and waterproofing without sacrificing dexterity.

5. Boot Covers or Waterproof Boots
Your feet are often the first to get wet—so protect them. Waterproof riding boots or easily packable boot covers help keep your socks dry and your focus on the road.

Rainy weather doesn’t mean you have to park the bike. With the right gear from Hurtle Gear, you can ride through winter with confidence. Explore our range of waterproof motorcycle accessories and make wet-weather riding safer and more comfortable.
