What is the proper riding gear?
• Helmet – the most important piece of protective gear a rider can use. Protects against head injury, windblast, cold and flying objects. • Faceshield – “Saves Face” Any rider who’s been hit in the face by stones, insects, or debris can tell you the benefits. • Gloves – Keep hands comfortable, functional and protected. Come in infinite variety for all seasons. • Jackets & Pants – Long sleeves and trousers resist abrasion and protect against sunburn, windburn, dehydration or hypothermia. Light colors or reflectivity increase a rider’s visibility. Leather jackets and pants or chaps are of course the very best in protective gear. • Boots – Provide protection against foot and ankle injuries and give you a good grip on foot pegs or road surfaces.
