In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:

Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.

Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help prevent blisters, cuts,
burns and bruises.

A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection. Bright-
coloured and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in traffic.
Be sure to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your
motorcycle.
