Safe Riding Gear
Always wear clothing suited to the type of riding. Vehicle riding
requires special protective clothing for comfort and to reduce
the chance of injury.
1 . Helmet
Your helmet is the most important piece of protective gear for
safe riding. An approved helmet can prevent a severe head
injury.
2 . Eye protection
Do not depend on sunglasses for proper eye protection. A pair
of goggles or a helmet face shield offers the best protection
for your eyes. They should be kept clean and be shatterproof
design.
3 . Gloves
Off- road style gloves with knuckle pads are the best for comfort
and protection.
4 . Boots
The best footwear is a pair of strong over- the- calf boots with
heels, like motocross boots.
5 . Clothing
Always wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and
legs. Riding pants with kneepads and a jersey with shoulder
pads provide the best protection.
