Welcome at Turbo Race Gear, we know that the ride is no fun if it is not accompanied by appropriate weather.
It is important to see that your motorcycle suit is 100% waterproof ensuring you ride without fear of the rain. Let’s check out how you can make your waterproof motorcycle gear because every rider should wear gear as hardy as the road ahead.
Why Waterproofing Matters
In wet weather, motorcycling without waterproofs is not only unpleasant; it is dangerous. A wet motorcycle suit can:
1. Distract you: Wet clothes are uncomfortable, thus divert the attention away from the road.
2. Add weight: This is because when the material is exposed to so much water it has a tendency of swelling up and becoming very much hard to handle.
3. Expose you to cold: Wet gear freeze you to death because of the potential hypothermia.
4. Damage your suit: Moisture accumulation weakens fabrics as they wear out sooner than normally expected due to drying effects of air.
Our motorcycle suits in Turbo Race Gear is built to stand the test of time but when taken care of and waterproofed, they will not only last longer but they will keep you dry.
Select the Right Suit As Your Foundation
When designing our suits at Turbo Race Gear, we have taken measures to have them made of water-resistant material and a very strong build. For ultimate waterproofing techniques, look for suits that feature:
• Sealed seams: Helps avoid penetration of water at the joints where stitching is done.
• Waterproof membranes: Protection that allows the rider to breathe.
• Adjustable closures: Make sure that zippers, cuffs and collars should fit snugly.
The Turbo Race Gear features pre-treated fabrics and watertight seams ensuring that all-weather riders have a solid base to start with.
Give Durable Water Repellent (DWR) Coating
Some of the best ways you can use to ensure that your motorcycle suit is waterproof include applying DWR coating. This outer layer should prevent water from penetrating and absorbing into the surface, instead it must roll off. Here's how to apply DWR to your suit:
• Clean your suit: Take your motorcycle suit to a commercial washing firm where you will have it being washed. The Fabric Care Kit is used to pretreat your gear before applying product.
• Choose a high-quality DWR spray: Some of the sprays may cause damage to the material used in making the suit. Using any waterproof agent that contains no wax.
• Apply evenly: Drape your suit and then mist the clothes thoroughly but lightly all over, including the shoulders and knees as these are usually exposed most.
• Heat activation (if needed): Some of these coatings need to be heat cured or baked on as the process is called. Refer to the instructions provided by the manufacturer and best bonding is achieved when using low heat dryer setting.
If DWR has been effectively applied initially, its repeated application would be effective. Gentle reminders for usage, please reapply approximately every two to three months or after exposure to heavy rainfall.
Seal Your Seams
Turbo Race Gear suits are made with fully sealed seams but the seams of a suit that has been used for a while might require reinforcement. Here’s how to reseal seams effectively:
• Inspect for weaknesses: You should check the fabric and look for indications of tear and wear such as fraying or even visible stitching.
• Choose a seam sealer: Seam sealant or Aqua seal are recommended type of seam tape and liquid sealer suitable for use in outdoor apparels.
• Apply carefully: The sealer should be used following the manufacturer’s guidelines, until all the exposed seams have been covered.
Reducing seam vulnerability allows you to substantially improve your suit’s waterproofing.
Upgrades with Waterproof Layers
In case of riding extreme weather, certainly there is no better way than layering up. Turbo Race Gear enables you to counter different weather conditions while keeping yourself dry and warm. Consider these additions:
• Waterproof over-suits: Very versatile and can simply be put over your main suit, they provide an added protection from a downpour.
• Base layers: Utilize thermal layers that neutralize moisture; this means that your skin will remain dry even if the water reaches it slightly.
For more protection during uncertain rides, over-suit is the best among all that we offer to our riders.
It is just as important to know what the CE mark means for motorcycle suit safety as it is to know how to make your suit waterproof so that it will perform equally well in any conditions.
Maintain Your Waterproofing
Waterproofing leads to performance optimization of the motorcycle suit by frequently servicing it. Here’s how to care for your gear:
• Clean after every ride: It is elemental wisdom that dirty or muddy things are no longer as waterproof as they once were. Clean your suit by washing or rinsing when it is necessary.
• Store properly: Store your suit in a dry area so that it does not develop mild or the material wears off rapidly.
• Inspect periodically: Make sure that the DWR or seam sealer has worn off and then recoat when necessary.
• Rain Suit: A rain suit is a barrier that helps to avoid getting wet while motorcycling in a storm or a strong rain.
When maintained properly, a Turbo Race Gear suit can be suitable for an indefinite number of adventures and always prepared for the worst.
Test Your Waterproofing
Check the waterproofing in your suit to make sure it is fully prepared for the road. Here’s a quick method:
• Simulated rain: Spray the suit with water from a spray bottle and then see how the suit responds during intense rainfall.
• Check high-stress areas: Check out zippers, seams, and all areas of high thermal expansion, which are flexed during wearing.
• Adjust accordingly: Do any leaking or fluctuating at this stage before exposing your system to live conditions.

FAQ’s
Why is waterproofing a motorcycle suit important for safety?
A wet suit distracts riders, adds material weight, accelerates hypothermia risk, and weakens fabric integrity over time making effective waterproofing a direct safety requirement, not just a comfort preference.
What is DWR coating on a motorcycle suit?
DWR, Durable Water Repellent is a surface treatment applied to motorcycle suit fabric that causes water to bead and roll off rather than absorbing into the material, maintaining dryness and suit performance.
How often should DWR waterproofing be reapplied to a motorcycle suit?
Reapply DWR treatment every two to three months under regular riding conditions and immediately after heavy rain exposure, deep cleaning, or whenever water no longer beads visibly on the suit's outer surface.
How do I reseal seams on a waterproof motorcycle suit?
Inspect seams for fraying or visible stitching, then apply a quality liquid seam sealer or seam tape along all exposed stitch lines restoring the watertight barrier that prevents water ingress at every join.
Can I layer over my motorcycle suit for extra waterproofing?
Yes. A waterproof over-suit worn over your main suit provides additional rain protection in extreme conditions. Moisture-wicking thermal base layers underneath keep skin dry even if minor water penetration occurs.
How do I test if my motorcycle suit is properly waterproofed?
Spray the suit evenly with water and observe bead formation. Check zippers, seams, and high-flex areas specifically any absorption or darkening indicates waterproofing has degraded and requires immediate reapplication.
Does washing a motorcycle suit damage its waterproofing?
Repeated washing gradually degrades DWR surface treatments. Always reapply a spray-on or wash-in DWR waterproofing product after every deep clean to fully restore the suit's water-repellent protective performance.
