Just because the temperature drops doesn't mean the ride has to stop.
Winter riding comes with its own set of challenges—cold wind, wet roads, foggy visors, and fingers that feel like they’re about to fall off. But with the right gear, winter can be one of the most rewarding times to be on a bike. Fewer crowds, quiet roads, and the raw beauty of the cold—if you’re dressed for it.
At MotoHeaven, we've got everything you need to stay warm, dry, and protected—with prices that are never full price.
Jackets That Do More Than Look Good
A proper winter motorcycle jacket is your first line of defence. Look for options with thermal liners, waterproof membranes, and storm flaps. Brands like RST, Dririder, and Alpinestars offer jackets built for Aussie winters—providing warmth without the bulk, plus abrasion resistance when you need it most. Whether you're commuting, touring, or hitting the mountains, your winter jacket needs to handle it all.
Tip: Go for a jacket with zip-in liners—versatile for changing weather.
Pants That Aren’t Just Afterthoughts
Your legs cop it in winter, especially at highway speeds. Textile riding pants with thermal liners and waterproofing are a game-changer. Look for reinforced knees, flexible stretch panels, and zip connections to your jacket for full coverage. Throw them over your jeans, or wear them on their own—either way, you’ll stay warm, dry and protected.
Layer Up: Thermal Base Layers
Thermals might not be exciting, but they’re essential. A good base layer keeps warmth in and wicks sweat away—so you don’t freeze the moment you stop. Our range of thermal wear from brands like RST and Oxford offer solid insulation without the bulk, letting you move freely while staying warm.
Remember: Layering is key. Base > Mid > Outer. Don’t skip the base.
Waterproof Boots That Don’t Give In
Wet feet can ruin a ride. Waterproof, insulated boots are a must in winter. Look for Gore-Tex or similar breathable waterproofing, with solid ankle and toe protection. Brands like Forma, TCX, and Alpinestars build boots that stand up to puddles, cold temps, and long hours in the saddle.
Adding a pair of thermal socks makes a big difference too.
