VES (hand protection)
Your hands are targets for flying objects and branches. Along
with providing skin protection, gloves will shield your hands
from harsh weather. Wear gloves that are weather resistant
and have a gripping surface to keep them from sliding off the
handlebars. Off-road style gloves with knuckle pads are the
best for comfort and protection.

TS (foot & ankle protection)
Wear a boot that covers the largest possible area of your leg
(preferably up to your knee) and can handle significant im-
pact. Choosing boots with low heels and a good tread will help
prevent your feet from slipping off the footrests in wet or rug-
ged conditions or getting hurt if they get hit by rocks, dirt, or
branches.

HELMET (head protection)
Your helmet is your most important piece of protective gear for
safe ATV riding. A proper helmet can prevent a severe head
injury. The best type of helmet is a full-face type that provides
protection to the wearer's face as well as the head.
If you drop or damage your helmet, get a new one immedi-
ately. Your helmet may not protect your head from injury if it
has cracks, fissures, or other damage to its outside or to the
core padding and liner (which are designed to absorb the en-
ergy of an impact).
Remember, even the best helmet is ineffective if it is not the
proper size and the chin strap is not fastened.

(eye protection)
Always wear eye protection, such as goggles, to completely
surround your eyes to prevent getting dirt or other debris in
your eyes. Do not depend on sunglasses or even prescription
glasses for proper eye protection. Glasses of this type are not
recommended as they do not prevent objects from flying in
through the sides, and the lenses may be damaged upon
impact.

(jersey - body protection)
Long-legged pants and long-sleeved shirts can protect your
body from branches, long grass, airborne objects, or anything
else that could scrape your skin. The thicker and more durable
the material, the better protection it will provide. Riding pants
with kneepads, and a jersey with shoulder pads specifically
designed for ATV or off-road motorcycle use will provide the
best protection.
