In the event of a motorcycle accident, the rider is exposed to a series of injuries that can be costly. In addition to the already widespread use of a helmet, a jacket, pants, gloves and special boots must be added to ensure the best protection. If we add to this the necessary caution when driving, accidents and their consequences will be less and less frequent.
It is important to emphasize the proper use of these safety elements so that they are effective. Among the most commonly used motorcycle safety elements, the most important is the helmet. Despite its widespread use, it is important to remember that the helmet must have specific characteristics in order to perform its task properly. It goes without saying that the helmet must meet the homologation requirements, which certify that the helmet meets all the requirements of the controlling Administrations.
We at Ecuador Bike Rental are always looking for our equipment to be of the best quality, for this reason we do not skimp in looking for the best implements so that our customers can travel safely.

Our Jackets:
The Joe Rocket Turbulent is an all-season textile jacket with an attractive price point, versatility and some pretty nifty features.
The outer shell of the jacket is water, wind and abrasion resistant treated polyester. The body of the jacket has a polyester mesh liner that creates an air gap between the body and jacket, plus a multiple venting system that works when the zippered thermal liner is removed.
The full-sleeve thermal liner with zipper and pocket has laser quilted taffeta with synthetic polyfill insulation, making Joe Rocket’s Turbulent jacket a cool to cold weather option. Add a long-sleeve inner layer, as I did, and it can handle downright chilly temperatures, even in windy weather.
The heavy-duty full front zipper is backed by a narrow storm flap, as well as the most impressive inner storm flap I’ve seen. It’s wide and has its own full-length zipper offset from the outer zipper to stop cold air infiltration from the main zipper.
The mao collar with snap closure has a comfortably soft neoprene padded top edge that matches the sleeve cuffs. The sleeves are equipped with cuff zippers, hook-and-loop adjustment tabs at the cuffs, three-position snap adjusters just below the elbows and zippered vents at the biceps.
The traditional external zippered handwarmer pockets on the Joe Rocket Turbulent motorcycle jacket are a practical way to carry cargo securely. On the left, there is an internal chest pocket between the external zipper and storm flap. To access the inner pocket, it is not necessary to unzip the storm flap. There is also a practical padded pocket with hook-and-loop flap closure on the lower back of the jacket.
The jacket allows great freedom of movement, which is aided by the articulated back expansion panels behind the shoulders. Night and low-light visibility is enhanced by reflective piping and shoulder logos.

Our Pants:
Designed to offer good water resistance. They are comfortable and warm, with a thick lining but a looser than average fit.
Joe Rocket Dry Tech pants are made to match any jacket. The pant spec sheet uses Joe Rocket Rock Tex 600 Denier fabric with «Nano» treatment that is claimed to be «100 percent waterproof» while still being breathable.
The spec sheet for the Nano pants is nearly identical to that of the jacket; both use the same Joe Rocket Rock Tex 600 Denier fabric with «Nano» treatment that is claimed to be «100 percent waterproof» while remaining breathable.
The pants have a thick liner that can be removed at the top with a full-waist zipper. The liner provides excellent insulation and wind protection.
The pants include a CE-approved knee pad that can be placed in one of two positions. So the knee pad can be placed in the top pocket and fits properly.
Also included is a thick but slightly small hip pad on each side. These are removable and Joe Rocket says the material is «high density». At the back of the pants, below the waistband, is a thin «tail bone pad».
The pants feature nearly integral water-resistant zippers on the sides and a «melt-resistant» material on the inside of the lower legs. Reflective material in the shape of a checkerboard is also present on the lower leg.
