Leather or other tough clothing protects against burns and grazes in a fall. Article 118.1 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), as worded by RD 518/2026, requires motorcycle riders and passengers to wear an approved helmet, protective gloves on roads outside built-up areas and closed footwear, but it does not require any specific type of clothing.
