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 have a chin strap that can be tightened securely.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet
offers more. Regardless of the style, look for a ASNZ 1698 or D.O.T
(Department of Transportation) sticker on any helmet you buy. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
ADDITIONAL PROTECTIVE GEAR
In Addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend
the following:
• Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help protect your feet, ankles
and lower legs.
• Off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands.
• Riding pants with knee and hip pads, a riding jersey with padded
elbows, chest and shoulder protectors. more info at page 10 & 11
WARNING
Not wearing a helmet increases
thechance of serious injury or
death in acrash. Be sure you
always wear a helmet,eye
protection and other protective
apparel when you ride.
