Motorcycle Gear Newcastle | Shipped from Shark Leathers Gold Coast

If you ride out of Newcastle, you already know the score. The Watagans on a clear Sunday, the Pacific run up to Port Macquarie, a Hunter Valley wine-country loop through Cessnock and Pokolbin, then back home with salt air on your visor and a southerly buster trying to push you off the road. We ship motorcycle gear to the Hunter from our Gold Coast store in 1 to 2 business days. Helmets, jackets, pants, boots, gloves, intercoms, the lot. Brands you actually want: AGV, LS2, Bell, Simpson, Kabuto, DriRider, Rjays, Macna, RST, TCX, Cardo, plus our own Shark Leathers leathers and Phantom hoodie. Same range, same price, same shipping a Sydney rider gets. Just dropped to the Hunter instead.

Gear for Newcastle and Hunter riding

The Hunter throws a bit of everything at a rider. Tight technical work in the Watagans rewards a proper full-face lid with a Pinlock-ready visor, because the morning fog up there is genuine and a fogged visor turns a corner into a guess. AGV and Bell are the picks for the canyon crew. LS2, Kabuto and Nitro cover the budget end without dropping the AS/NZS 1698 sticker that legally has to be on every helmet sold in Australia.

For the Pacific Highway run up to Port Macquarie, or a Putty Road blast on a long weekend, you want a textile jacket with a removable thermal and a real waterproof membrane. Macna, DriRider, Rjays and Richa do this well. CE Level 2 armour at the shoulders and elbows cuts impact force to under 9kN, which is the number that matters when a southerly buster shoves you sideways at 100 kays. Pair it with proper Kevlar pants or our Shark Kevlar jeans, because denim alone gives you about half a second of slide before it's gone.

Old Pac access from the south, Lake Macquarie loops, the daily commute through Charlestown traffic, all of it punishes cheap boots and bargain-bin gloves. TCX, Falco, Merlin, Oxford and Leatt are the boots we trust on tour. Five and Oxford gloves cover summer and winter without splitting at the seam stitch first time you grab the bars hard. And if you ride with a mate, a Cardo or SCS intercom ends the headache of pulling over every fuel stop just to talk.

FAQs

How long does shipping to Newcastle take?

1 to 2 business days for almost everything. Order before 2pm AEST and it leaves Helensvale that day. Free over $200.

What jacket suits Newcastle's weather?

A textile with a removable thermal liner and a waterproof membrane handles the temperate coastal mix best. Hot summer days, cold mornings on the Putty, a southerly buster halfway home. Macna, DriRider, Rjays and Richa do this layering job well. For weekend canyon work in the Watagans, a leather from our own Shark Leathers range is hard to beat.

Do you stock gear that suits Hunter Valley wine-country touring?

Yes. For longer wine-country loops through Cessnock and Pokolbin, riders tend to grab a touring textile, mid-weight gloves and proper touring boots from TCX or Falco. Add a Cardo intercom if you ride with a partner or a group.

Can I return gear if the fit is wrong?

Yes. Send it back unworn with tags on and we swap it or refund it. Helmets and jackets in particular are worth measuring twice before ordering, but if you've got it wrong, we sort it.

Is there a Newcastle showroom?

No. Our shop is on the Gold Coast at 6/142 Siganto Drive, Helensvale. Call us on +61 7 5573 5118 or flick us an email and you'll get the same advice over the phone you'd get walking in. The freight to Newcastle is fast enough that most riders don't notice the difference.

Order before 2pm. We dispatch today. You'll be wearing it on the Watagans by the weekend.
