RIDING GEAR
Safe Riding Gear
Always wear clothing suited to the type of riding you are doing. ATV riding requires
special protective clothing which will make you feel more comfortable and reduce
chances of injury.
1. Helmet
Your helmet is the most important piece
of protective gear for safe riding. A hel-
met can prevent a serious head injury.
Select an approved helmet which meets
or exceeds yourstate’s safety standards
and bears either the Department of
Transportation (DOT) label, the Ameri-
can National Standards Institute label
(ANSI z 90.1), or the Snell Memorial
Foundation label.
2. Eye Protection
Do not depend on sunglasses for proper
eye protection. A pair of goggles or hel-
met face shield offer the best protection
foryoureyes. They should be kept clean
and be of shatterproof design (bearing
the markings z2.1 or VESC 8).
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 type boots with heels, such as
moto-cross boots.
5. Clothing
To protect your body, long sleeves and pants should always be worn. Riding pants
with kneepads, a jersey and shoulder pads provide the best protection.
