If you must ride in wet weather, a rain
suit or a waterproof riding suit is rec-
ommended. On long rides, it is a good
idea to carry rain gear. A dry rider will
be much more comfortable and alert
than a rider who is wet and cold.
One or two-piece styles are available,
and those designed specifically for
motorcycling are best. High-visibility
orange or yellow colors are good
choices. A feature to look for is elastic
in the waist, pant legs and sleeves.
The jacket should have a high collar
and zip up with wide flaps across the
opening. When purchasing a rain suit,
consider adding waterproof gloves
and footwear.
Remember, if the weather is wet, it is
best to avoid riding. If you do ride in
wet weather, you may need to stop if
water starts to accumulate on the
road.

Long-term exposure to wind and mo-
tor noise when riding can cause per-
manent hearing loss. Properly worn
hearing protective devices such as
earplugs can help prevent hearing
loss. Check local laws before using
any hearing protective devices.
