Top Cold Weather Motorcycle Gear and Accessories to Keep You Warm
When the Ohio temperatures drop, having the right cold weather motorcycle gear can make the difference between parking your bike early and enjoying the ride all season long.
Here are our top picks for cold-weather riding essentials to help you stretch your season a little longer.
🧤 1. Heated Gear: Jackets, Gloves, and Grips
When your hands go numb, riding becomes tough (and unsafe). Heated gloves or grips are game-changers for late-season rides. Many heated jackets connect directly to your bike’s power source or run off a rechargeable battery pack, keeping you warm without the bulk.
RS Tip: We can help you find the right heated grips or gear setup for your bike — and install them in our shop for a clean, professional look.

🧥 2. Layer Up with Thermal and Windproof Clothing
Start with a moisture-wicking base layer, add an insulating mid-layer, and finish with a windproof outer shell. This system traps heat while letting sweat escape — key for staying warm and dry.
Look for riding jackets with removable liners or vents so you can adjust as temps change.
💡 3. Visibility Is Key: Lights and Reflective Gear
Shorter days mean more time riding in low light. Adding auxiliary lights or LED upgrades helps you see (and be seen) better. Reflective strips or gear with hi-vis accents can make a huge difference when the sun dips early.
RS Tip: We carry lighting upgrades and accessories that keep you visible and stylish.
🥶 4. Protect Your Face and Neck
A quality balaclava, neck warmer, or face mask blocks cold air from sneaking in around your collar. Heated versions are even better for long rides.
It’s a small accessory that can make a huge difference in comfort during windy fall rides.
🧰 5. Keep a Battery Maintainer Handy
Cold weather can be rough on motorcycle batteries. Even if you’re still riding occasionally, a battery maintainer ensures your bike starts up every time — and keeps your battery healthy when it sits for a few days between rides.

🏍️ Ride Longer, Stay Warmer
Cold-weather riding can be incredibly rewarding — the roads are quieter, and the scenery is stunning. With the right gear and accessories, you can enjoy every last mile before winter truly sets in.
