Recommended Riding Gear

Source: Motorcycle Safety Foundation




Helmet

This is the most important piece of protective gear a rider can wear. It protects against head injury, windblast, cold and flying objects. Full-face helmet recommended.
Eye And Face Protection

"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. They come in an infinite variety for all seasons and weather.

Clothing

Long sleeves and trousers resist abrasion and protect against sunburn, windburn, dehydration, and hypothermia. Light colors or reflectivity increase a rider's visibility.
Footwear

Boots provide protection against foot and ankle injuries. They also provide a good grip on foot pegs and road surfaces when you put your foot down.
