SAFETY
Safe Riding Gear
2. Eye Protection
Do not depend on sunglasses for proper eye protection. A pair of goggles or a helmet face
shield offer the best protection for your eyes. 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 boots with heels, like moto-cross boots.
5. Clothing
Always wear long sleeves and long pants to protect arms and legs. Riding pants with
kneepads and a jersey with shoulder pads provide the best protection.
