Branded content | Over 30 years ago, Fabrice & Gerda founded EKO Motorwear with no expectation of it growing into the largest motorcycle clothing store in Belgium. Now, with a spacious store spanning 3,000 square meters, EKO Motorwear is a popular destination for motorcyclists seeking essential gear for safety, comfort, and overall riding enjoyment. Customers from across the Benelux region visit EKO Motorwear, and their online shop expands their reach even further. In addition to serving individual customers, EKO Motorwear also collaborates with government agencies such as the Antwerp Police to constantly enhance their gear offerings.
Fabrice: “EKO Motorwear originated from EKO Light, a company that specialized in producing bicycle lighting. Along with our lighting products, we also sold cycling gloves on the side until one day our production partner introduced us to motorcycle gloves. To test their popularity, we brought them to a local motorcycle fair along with some jackets and trousers. Much to our surprise, they were a huge hit. In the 1990s, EKO Light was acquired by a larger company, prompting us to shift our focus solely onto motorcycle clothing with the new name EKO Motorwear. With this new direction came our own brand, G&F, known for its high-quality manufacturing and excellent value for money.”
According to Shana Lowie, choosing the right motorcycle apparel is crucial for both comfort and safety. Investing in quality gear can greatly reduce the risk of injury and damage during an accident, while also enhancing the overall riding experience. Motorcycle clothing also provides riders with a chance to showcase their individual style and personality, with various options ranging from traditional leather jackets to sleek and modern sporty suits in a variety of colors and designs. Even for the daily commuter, well-designed ergonomic motorcycle gear is a must to provide comfort during rides. This includes a proper fit that allows for freedom of movement and ensures that protection stays in place. The comfort factor contributes to improved focus and concentration while riding on the road.
A motorcycle helmet is the most important part of motorcycle gear in terms of safety. But a motorcycle helmet must do more than just provide protection. The right fit is also crucial, and not every type of helmet is suitable for every type of motorcycle. The best motorcycle helmet for you is the one that fits most comfortably on your head. At EKO Motorwear, you’ll find the largest selection of motorcycle helmets, with a helmet wall that is 60 meters long and caters to every budget.
Good motorcycle boots provide a lot of ankle support. This is important to prevent sprains or fractures, especially in the event of an accident or if your foot touches the ground at high speed. Motorcycle boots also protect your feet from rain, cold, and wind. Waterproof motorcycle boots can help keep your feet dry, which is essential for comfort and to prevent frostbite or hypothermia in cold weather. EKO Motorwear assists you with the right choice of your motorcycle boots.
EKO MotorWear has also a wide selection of motorcycle backpacks, saddlebags, and tank bags to suit all types of motorcycles and riders. They also offer a variety of motorcycle and scooter accessories, from GPS holders to protective covers, keychains to alarm locks, and cleaning supplies. You can view the full range on their online shop or in their store located in Kontich.
Is the zipper on your motorcycle jacket or pants not functioning properly? Do you find that your trousers are either too short or too long? At EKO MotorWear, we offer repair and alteration services for both leather and textile garments. Simply visit our store in Kontich and we will provide a quote based on your specific needs.
At EKO MotorWear, you have the opportunity to visit daily and receive an Ozone treatment for your helmet(s) and motorcycle gear. This process ensures that your helmets, boots, and clothing are thoroughly sanitized and free of any bacteria. Say goodbye to foul odors, as everything is left smelling fresh and rejuvenated after the treatment.
