A good Motorcycle Jacket and trousers will be able to protect you from abrasion, impact and the cold/wet; it is also possible to get jackets that increase your conspicuity. A lot of riders and moped riders do not see the need to get proper motorcycle clothing. The cold fact is that the ground is just as hard if you fall off a moped as a bigger motorcycle. They will frequently buy waterproof clothing to protect them from the minor inconvenience of being wet, the consequences of gravel rash or broken bones is NOT so minor.
