Apparel

a motorcycle offers no impact protection in an
accident.
Proper riding gear includes helmet, eye protection,
gloves, boots, back protector, long sleeve jacket and
long trousers.
●
The helmet must meet the requirements listed
at "Rider's obligations"; if your helmet does not
have a visor, use suitable eye wear;
●
Use certified, five-finger gloves made from
leather or abrasion-resistant material; with
knuckle protectors and reinforcements on the
fingers;
●
Riding boots or shoes must have non-slip soles
and offer ankle protection;
●
The back protector must be certified and sized
based on the physical constitution of the rider,
according to the manufacturer's specifications;
●
Jacket, trousers or riding suit must be certified,
made from leather or abrasion-resistant
material and have high-visibility colours and
inserts. Select products with certified
protectors.

Never wear loose clothing, items or accessories
that may become tangled in motorcycle parts.
