Not wearing a helmet increases the
chance of serious injury or death in a
crash.
Be sure you always wear a helmet,
eye protection and other protective
apparel when you ride.

Before Riding
Your helmet is your most important piece of
riding gear because it offers the best protection
against head injuries. A helmet should fit your
head comfortably and have a chin strap that can
be tightened securely.
An open-face helmet offers some protection,
but a full-face helmet offers more. Regardless
of the style, look for a DOT (Department of
Transportation) sticker in any helmet you buy
(USA only). Always wear a face shield or
goggles to protect your eyes and help your
vision.
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we
also recommend:
Riding pants with knee and hip pads, a riding
jersey with padded elbows, and a chest/
shoulder protector.
Off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect
your hands.
Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help
protect your feet, ankles, and lower legs.
