Abstract
A motorcycle garment includes at least a leg guard adapted to cover at least partially one of the driver's legs. At least a flap is disposed on said leg guard in correspondence of the driver's lower half-leg. The flap projects from the driver's lower half-leg Cowards the motorcycle, in such a way to increase resistance with air flow and increase aerodynamic load of motorcycle when driver moves his leg away from the motorcycle to make curving easier.

A motorcycle garment comprising:
- at least one leg guard adapted to cover at least partially one driver's leg;
- and
- at least one flap disposed on said leg guard in correspondence of driver's lower half-leg,
- characterized by the fact that
- said flap protrudes from the driver's lower half-leg towards the motorcycle, in such a way to increase resistance with air flow caused by forward travel of motorcycle, and increase aerodynamic load of motorcycle, when driver moves his leg away from motorcycle to make curving easier.
A method to favor curving of motorcycle, when driver extends one leg out, wherein it provides for using a flap disposed on a leg guard of a motorcycle garment, in correspondence of driver's lower half-leg, wherein said flap protrudes from driver's lower half-leg towards the motorcycle, in such a way to increase resistance to air flow generated by forward travel of motorcycle and increase aerodynamic load of motorcycle.
