Are You Ready to Ride?
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 DOT (Department of
Transportation) sticker on any helmet you buy
(USA only). Always wear a face shield or
goggles to protect your eyes and help your
vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we
also recommend:
• 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, and a chest/
shoulder protector.
Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Be sure you always wear a helmet, eye
protection and other protective apparel
when you ride.
