The iHood Heated Vest is an affordable, feature-rich piece of winter-weather gear that’s great on or off the bike. Wear it under your normal riding jacket and stay toasty with three heating levels and three independent heating areas. Use it off the bike to stay warm up to 8.5 hours on the low setting or 4.5 hours with all heating areas cranked. Details include a retractable heated hood and water-resistant design for versatility.

The Treblab Z2 Headphones punch above their weight in terms of sound quality and design. They feature active noise canceling and Bluetooth 5.0 in a water-resistant and sweatproof design, and provide up to 35 hours of play time on a three-hour charge. These affordable cans also have a built-in microphone and cVc 6.0 (clear voice capture), allowing wearers to use voice-activated assistants such as Siri or Alexa.

The deep-tissue Turonic GM5 Massage Gun has seven different heads and five different intensity modes. It provides eight hours of use on a three-hour charge and massages at intensities between 1,200 and 3,200 rpm. The GM5 speeds recovery from long, arduous rides, helps improve blood flow, and relaxes sore muscles, making it a great after-ride accessory for any rider who spends serious time in the saddle.

The latest Mullico Professional Tire Pressure Gauge maximizes tire performance and ride safety with its highly accurate pressure sensor. It compensates for atmospheric pressure and can be set to five different units of scale. It has an anodized billet aluminum body, backlit LCD screen, 18-inch swiveling hose, and 45-degree angled air chuck. A tire-pressure gauge is an essential tool for any rider and this one makes for a great holiday gift.

A new set of tires will make any rider’s holiday, and the Dunlop Sportmax Q5 is a fantastic option for just about anyone. The new tread pattern offers better grip at lean while an updated tread compound further improves grip. If you’re buying for a rider who spends any time at the track, the Q5s are especially nice, thanks to faster warming times and a taller profile. Plus, the Q5s are built to run at near street pressures on track as well. Dunlop’s website has an easy bike selector so you can be sure to get the right sizes.

The Saint Tough Puffer is an ideal off-bike jacket for riders who live where the winters hit hard. It’s made from a Cordura Lite rip-stop material with DWR coating, filled with 100 percent recycled poly-filled wadding, and features a removable zippered hood to help keep you nice and warm. It’s a simple piece that is easy on the wallet without skimping on features or function.

This is a big-ticket high-tech item that will be the hit of the holidays for the lucky sportbike rider. The Alpinestars Tech-Air 10 Airbag System provides maximum protection to the shoulders, chest, back, and hips with innovative airbags that deploy in milliseconds of a crash being detected. It can be worn with any Alpinestars Tech-Air-prepared riding leathers, or can be worn under other manufacturers’ leathers as long as there is the appropriate amount of space around the chest and hips to allow the airbags to deploy. Check out the full rundown of details in our write-up on the Tech-Air 10 from earlier this year for a more detailed look at all its features.

Icon’s Airframe Pro helmet is a DOT-approved full-face helmet made of composite fiberglass over EPS foam, with multiple intake and exhaust ports and an intermediate oval shape. It’s a comfortable, effective helmet for any street rider. But let’s be honest: Icon’s claim to fame is its graphics, and the Soul Food design is no exception. The wide-mouthed demon-thing face would be enough to scare grandma on its own, but when the lights go down, the teeth and flaming eyes glow in the dark. Happy holidays one and all!

TCX’s Dartwood Gore-Tex Boots are a stylish and highly functional footwear option. These bad boys (but not so bad that they’ve been filled with coal) are equipped with a waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex membrane and come with a full-grain leather upper. The design features D3O angle protectors, protection in the toes and heels, a Groundtrax wear-resistant rubber sole, and a special Zplate midsole that ensures the shoes don’t crush in the event of an impact.

Tough yet stylish Biltwell Belden Gloves are CE certified and come with a 100 percent cowhide exterior. Additional suede reinforcements provide abrasion resistance in key areas, while a moisture-wicking Lycra liner gives them a comfortable feel. There are plastic knuckle guards for safety and smartphone-compatible thumbs and fingertips. Sizes range from XS up to XXL.
