If you like the look of silk motorcycle scarves and have decided to shop for one of your own, the first point to consider is the typical weather of the area where you usually ride. But, to tell you the truth... no matter where you live... you'll want to choose silk. Cool, silky and soft. For bikers who live in warm, humid climates, silk scarves are the best choice; the properties of silk allow it to effectively breathe, keeping the wearer cool.
Those who travel in warm, dry climates are also best served by silk scarves as silk looks great when kept dry. Cloth manufacturers now offer washable and synthetic silks that can withstand moisture, making scarves created from these fabrics ideal for cool nights. Plus, silk can be hand cleaned... you just need to be careful and use a gentle soap.
In addition, a motorcycle scarf made of wool can be a great choice if you live in an overall cold climate. In order to stay warm, purchase a larger square scarf that can be pulled over your ears to keep out frigid winds. Also, again... you'll want silk under the wool scarf to keep your neck from chafing.
The length of the motorcycle scarf should also determine which one you buy. The majority of bike riders benefit from five-foot long scarves, which can be wrapped twice around the wearer's neck. While in the store, be sure to fold the square scarf into a triangle and put it on top of your head. If the ends do not reach and the scarf is not long enough to comfortably tie, move on to the next one that catches your eye.
If all else fails, you can purchase a scarf that is sewn into the famous "hat" shape. Although these scarves are more convenient, they lack the versatility that most wearers appreciate. Remember, the best motorcycle scarf solely depends on your needs.
