When you are riding a motorcycle, you don’t have to perform much activity and remain relatively still, without this activity your body doesn’t generate enough body heat to keep you warm from the oncoming cold air. Motorcyclecruiser.com states “The prime directive of your body's warmth-management system is to protect the brain and other vital organs. It will, therefore, direct warmth to those areas at the expense of other less critical parts, notably the extremities.” This means you have to wear the proper gear to keep your warmth insulated and lower the risk of losing feeling in your limbs or even hypothermia Proper motorcycle gear that will help protect you from Iowa winter should include seamless windproof clothing, heated gear, warm boots, layered clothing, proper gloves, among many other things.
