Riding Gear
Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. Dress for the
coldest weather expected. Thermal underwear next to the skin also provides a
good insulation. It is important that the operator always wears the appropriate
protective clothing and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection,
boots, gloves, a long sleeved shirt and pants. This type of clothing will provide
you protection from some of the minor hazards you may encounter en route.
The operator must never wear loose clothing such as a scarf that may get
entangled in the vehicle or on tree branches and shrubs. Depending on
conditions, anti-fogging goggles or sunglasses may be required. Different
colored lenses available for goggles or sunglasses help you distinguish terrain
variations. Sunglasses should only be worn during the daytime.
