All Casual

About

Casual apparel is the off-bike side of rider life. This range pulls together tees, long sleeves, hoodies and riding socks from Shark Leathers, Thor, Merlin, Macna, Oxford, Shot, Bolt, Leatt and AS Colour. Cotton and cotton-blend builds for daily wear, paddock days and the ride to the cafe. How to choose casual rider apparel Casual apparel sits separate from protective riding gear. These are lifestyle pieces built for comfort off the bike, not abrasion protection on it. They carry no EN 17092 abrasion rating and no CE Level 1 or Level 2 armour. Pick by fabric weight, fit and the job the garment does. Standard tee cotton sits around 180 gsm, mid-weight tees run 200 gsm, and hoodie fleece typically lands between 280 gsm and 320 gsm for warmth through winter. Style Typical fabric weight Best for Short sleeve tee 180 gsm cotton 4-seasons everyday wear Long sleeve tee 200 gsm cotton blend Cooler days, layering Hoodie 300 gsm fleece Winter, paddock warmth Boot sock Coolmax blend Moisture control inside boots Fit and sizing Sizing runs across the full range from XS through to 3XL on most tees and hoodies, so measure your chest and compare against the size chart before buying. A regular fit tee leaves around 5 cm to 8 cm of ease at the chest. Oxford Coolmax boot socks use a moisture-wicking blend that pulls sweat off the skin and keeps feet drier inside road and adventure boots through long days. Cotton blends with 10% to 20% polyester hold shape and resist shrinkage better than 100% cotton after repeated washing. For on-bike protection, step up to gear rated EN 17092 AAA, AA or A with CE Level 1 or Level 2 inserts. Care Cold wash at 30 degrees keeps printed graphics sharp and stops fade. Turn printed tees inside out, skip the dryer, and your Shark, Thor or Merlin graphics last years longer.
