An Evening with Paul Varnsverry, the man who writes the rules on motorcycle clothing

Real Kit or Rip-Off? Spotting Genuine Motorcycle Protective Clothing, with Paul Varnsverry

How confident are you that the jacket, trousers, boots, or gloves you are riding in would actually protect you in a crash? Cambridge Advanced Motorcyclists is delighted to welcome Paul Varnsverry, one of the world's leading experts on motorcyclists' protective clothing, for a talk that could change the way you shop for kit.

Paul has been actively involved in the development of standards for motorcyclists’ clothing since 1991. He is widely recognised as one of the world’s leading experts in the field. Paul chairs the British Standards committee for motorcyclists’ clothing, advises both the British Motorcyclists’ Federation and the Police, maintains strong links with MotoCAP, and writes a weekly guest column in Motorcycle News: “The Fight Against Fake Bike Kit”

In his presentation, Paul will explain:

• The background to motorcycle clothing standards and what they actually mean for riders
• How to identify genuine, certified protective clothing
• How to spot and avoid the rogue traders selling unsafe, counterfeit gear online

Whether you are thinking of buying a new pair of gloves or reassessing the kit you already own, this is a rare chance to hear directly from the person who helps write the rules, and to ask him your own questions on the night.
