Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of riding gear because it offers the
best protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably
and securely. A bright-colored helmet and reflective strips can make you more
noticeable in traffic.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more.
Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of Transportation) sticker
in any helmet you buy (USA only). Always wear a face shield or goggles to
protect your eyes and help your vision.
A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well as protection.
Bright-colored and reflective clothing can help make you more noticeable in
traffic. Avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any part of your
motorcycle.
Leather gloves to help protect your hands.
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your feet and ankles.
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
