DRESSING FOR COLD WEATHER RIDING
Riding in cold weather can be hazardous. At a temperature of 10°F (-12°C), the wind chill
created by going just 10 mph (16km/h) makes you as cold as if you were standing still at a
temperature of -9°F (-23°C). At this temperature, exposed flesh will freeze in just a few minutes.
Continued exposure in the cold weather could lead to hypothermia. Hypothermia occurs when
your body’s inner temperature drops. Symptoms include numbness in the extremities (hands,
feet, arms, and legs), and shivering. Damp clothing contributes to hypothermia because cold
water on your skin will drain heat from your body’s core.
We strongly recommend that if you do any cold-weather riding, that you familiarize yourself
with the symptoms, treatment, and prevention of hypothermia. Information is available at
libraries and through government agencies.
Plan your winter rides with safety and comfort in mind. Dress for the worst conditions you
might encounter. Be prepared for bad weather and UTV breakdowns. Wear warm, water-
resistant clothing such as thermal underwear, snowmobile suits, lined gloves and boots, and
wool socks.
WARNING
Operating your UTV in cold weather without proper clothing could be
hazardous.
Continued exposure in the cold weather could lead to hypothermia.
Hypothermia is a condition where your body’s inner temperature drops low
enough to cause injury or death.
Always dress for the worst weather conditions you might encounter. Be
prepared for bad weather and UTV breakdowns.
WARNING
Wearing loose clothing when riding your UTV could be hazardous.
Loose clothing, such as a long scarf or shawl, could get caught in an UTV’s
moving parts.
Never wear loose clothing when riding your UTV.
