SAFETY

Safe Riding Gear

Always wear clothing suited to the type of riding. ATV riding requires

special protective clothing for comfort and to reduce the chance 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 that meets or

exceeds your state’s 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 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.
