SAFETY
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 helmet can prevent a
severe head injury.
Select an approved helmet which
meets or exceeds your states
safety standards and bears either
the Department of Transportation
(DOT) label, the American
National Standards Institute label
(ANSI z90.1), or the Snell
Memorial Foundation label.
2. Eye Protection
Do not depend on sunglasses for
proper eye protection. A pair of
goggles or 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 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.
