Interested in SAFE riding gear? This is the time of year when I read more than I actually ride.
MotoCAP of Australia has released safety ratings for new motorcycle riding gloves.

MotoCAP tests motorcycle gear for both safety and comfort, with help from the Deakin University Institute for Frontier Materials. Because MotoCAP relies on donated gear for testing, it’s limited in what it can examine. However, it’s slowly building up a database of tested gear, with more equipment added every few months.

If you’re unfamiliar with MotoCAP is not an actual government sanctioning body; it’s a newer semi-private project in Australia, partnering a long list of government bodies and transporation-focused organizations (Transport for NSW, State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA), VicRoads, Transport Accident Commission (TAC), Royal Automobile Club of Victoria (RACV), Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR), Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), Lifetime Support Authority (LSA), the Department for Infrastructure and Transport, Western Australian Police: Road Safety Commission, Department of State Growth, Insurance Australia Group (IAG), Australian Motorcycle Council and Accident Compensation Corporation in New Zealand).
