2 WHEELED, PLANT POWERED!

This section is intended as a guide to choosing vegan motorcycle gear, with advice on what to check for on labels and where animal products may secretly be hiding!

We would advise if possible to shop inshore and not online.

This will allow you to physically inspect the product and check the composition labels carefully rather than relying on sometimes incorrect online information.

Andromeda Moto are the only fully vegan motorcycle clothing company in the world and are our favoured manufacturer due to their exemplary ethics.

Based in Spain but shipping wolrdwide, they offer clothing to suit most styles, and if you are looking for a vegan track day suit they even offer the Near X suit which is approved for track use.

Andromeda also manufacture gloves, boots, jackets, and riding jeans.

Gloves are one of the most tricky items to source but there are still plenty of vegan options out there.

Make sure to check the label carefully for traces of animal products. There will be a leather symbol if there is any on the glove.

Some of the more likely vegan gloves are summer vented gloves such as the Alpinestars Reef, and winter waterproof gloves such as the old vegan favourite, the Rukka Virium.

Boots are some of the easier items to source as vegan.

Many boots are made from lorica and other man made materials.

Sidi and TCX offer a good vegan range, the Sidi Aria gore being a favourite.

The RST Tractech are a good sporty option.

As always, check the label on any prospective purchase. Their will be a leather symbol on the composition label if there is any present.

Jackets are easy enough to source, most textile jackets will be man made materials.

Beware of small leather patches on more premium clothing though!

As with jackets, most textile trousers will be vegan, but check for any leather patches. 

Riding jeans should be ok, but check the rear patch isn't made of leather.

In our experience, most, if not all of them are synthetic.
