Vietnam Off-road Tours – Motorbike Riding Safety Gear Rental In Hanoi

SAFETY RIDING GEAR FOR MOTORBIKING VIETNAM

As you know, motorcycle riding gear is designed to protect you when you are enjoying an adventure on two wheels. When riding in Vietnam, having proper safety equipment is particularly important. Many local riders use basic helmets that offer limited protection, while counterfeit or low-quality safety products can also be found in the market. For an adventure motorcycle trip, we strongly recommend using quality protective gear rather than relying on the cheapest equipment available.

Vietnam Offroad imports a selection of quality motorcycle riding gear and safety equipment, which customers can hire for approximately US$ 5/day. A typical rental set includes an HJC helmet, Scoyco motorcycle gloves, elbow protection or a protective jacket, and knee protection or riding pants. These products are selected to provide practical protection for riders exploring Vietnam by motorcycle, particularly on longer trips and challenging roads.

• Scoyco summer knee and elbow protection pads – a quality Chinese motorcycle gear brand offering lightweight protection suitable for warm-weather riding.
• HJC CL-33 full-face or open-face helmets – HJC is a leading Korean helmet brand, with helmets produced in Vietnam and Korea depending on the model and production period.
• Scoyco and Pro-Biker MX gloves – available in different styles, including fingerless and full-finger gloves. Scoyco is a well-known Chinese motorcycle gear manufacturer with a wide range of riding equipment.

Most of our customers prefer to bring their own motorcycle riding gear to Vietnam, and this is generally the best option if you already have properly fitted equipment. The main issue with renting gear in Vietnam is size availability. Common sizes such as M, L, and XL are relatively easy to find, while smaller and larger sizes such as XS, S, XXL, and XXXL can be difficult to source. Bringing your own helmet, jacket, gloves, and protective equipment also ensures that everything fits you correctly before you start your motorcycle adventure.

Many airlines are reluctant to carry motorcycle helmets, particularly when they are packed separately or exceed baggage allowances. If you prefer not to travel with a helmet, you can simply buy or hire a helmet in Hanoi. Several shops near our office sell quality imported motorcycle equipment, with prices starting at approximately US$ 40 for a full-face HJC helmet, depending on the model and availability. Buying a properly fitted helmet locally can therefore be a convenient alternative for international riders.
