RIDING GEAR
1. Approved helmet
2. Eye and face protection
3. Long sleeves shirt or jacket
4. Gloves
5. Long pants
6. Boots (over-the-ankle footwear)
Weather conditions should help you
decide how to dress. To maximize
comfort and avoid frostbites in win-
ter, dress for the coldest weather ex-
pected. Thermal underwear next to
the skin also provides good insulation.
Never wear any loose clothing that
may get entangled in the vehicle or on
tree branches and shrubs.
Helmets and Eye Protection
Helmets protect the head and brain
from injury. Even with the vehicle's
cage, objects can enter the cockpit and
strike the head, or the head can strike
the cage itself or objects outside the
vehicle. Even the best helmet is no
guarantee against injury, but statistics
indicate that helmet use significantly
reduces the risk of brain injury. So, be
safe and always wear a helmet while
riding.
Choosing a Helmet
Helmets should be manufactured to
meet the appropriate standard in your
state, province or country and should
fit properly.
A helmet with face protection is a bet-
ter choice as it protects also against
frontal impacts. It can also protect
against debris, stones, insects, the el-
ements, etc.
An open-face helmet does not offer the
same protection for the face and chin.
If you wear an open-face helmet, you
should use a snap-on face shield and/or
a pair of goggles. Ordinary glasses or
sunglasses are not sufficient eye pro-
tection for riders. They can shatter
or fly off, and they allow wind and air-
borne objects to reach the eyes.
For winter riding conditions, a stock-
ing type cap, balaclava and face mask
should always be carried or worn.
Use tinted face shields or goggles in
the daytime only; do not use them at
night or in poor illumination. Do not
use them if they impair your ability to
discern color.
