Dressing for Cold Weather Riding
Riding in cold weather can be hazard-
ous. At a temperature of 10°F (–
12°C), the wind chill created by going
just 10 mph (16 km/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 to cold tempera-
tures can also 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, you familiar-
ize yourself with the symptoms, treat-
ment, 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 ATV
breakdowns. Wear warm, water-resis-
tant clothing such as thermal under-
wear, snowmobile suites, lined gloves
and boots, and wool socks.
WARNING
Operating your ATV in cold
weather without proper clothing
can be hazardous.
Continued exposure to cold tem-
peratures can lead to hypother-
mia. Hypothermia is a condition
where your body’s inner tempera-
ture drops low enough to cause
injury or death.
Always dress for the worst
weather conditions you might
encounter. Be prepared for bad
weather and ATV breakdowns.
WARNING
Wearing loose clothing when
riding your ATV can be hazardous.
Loose clothing, such as a long
scarf or shawl, can get caught in
an ATV’s moving parts.
Never wear loose clothing when
riding your ATV.
