Mathew Jonus has spent over a decade putting motorcycle gear through its paces, from budget helmets to premium leather suits. He joined RiderEquips.com as its lead testing specialist after years of hands-on work at gear retailers and manufacturer demo days. Mathew believes a review only matters if the product has been ridden in real rain, real heat, and real crashes on the test track. He's logged thousands of miles evaluating jackets, gloves, and boots across every season and climate. His reviews focus on fit, durability, and honest value rather than marketing hype. Riders trust his breakdowns because he explains not just what a product does, but why it works or fails. When he isn't testing gear, Mathew is usually out on his own bike, scouting new routes to push products further. You can find his latest gear verdicts and buying guides at riderequips.com.
