Always wear a full-face helmet and use anti-fog solutions like a Pinlock visor insert or anti-fog film to maintain better visibility.

Go for sealed-seam, bright-coloured rain gear that keeps you dry and visible without restricting your movement.

Opt for waterproof gloves or wear surgical gloves under normal riding gloves to keep your hands dry and safe in case of an incident.

If waterproof boots aren't within budget, a pair of raincoat pants works well for short commutes

Always wear proper waterproof riding boots on long rides.

To make yourself more visible, add a good quality reflective tape to your rain gear and the back of the helmet, which could be easily removed without residue once the monsoon is over.

Check the tread depth of your tyres and switch to new tyres if the existing ones are worn out.

Keep your bike's chain clean and lubed, since the water speeds up the rusting process.

Wet roads can double the braking distance, so inspect brake pads, discs and brake fluids regularly.

Make sure that your bike's electricals, like the headlight, tail light and indicators, are working properly. Use hazard lights only when visibility is significantly poor and you have to ride at slower speeds.
