equipment cannot eliminate the risk of injury but it will
reduce the degree of injury if an accident does happen.
Ask your dealer for help in choosing the right equipment.

Hearing protection

Approved eye protection. If you use a face shield then
you must also wear approved protective goggles.

countries. Visors must comply with standard EN 1731.
