Eye Protection
Being able to see
clearly will help you ride
more safely. Operating
without eye protection
can result in an acci-
dent and increases your
chances of a severe eye
injury in the event of an
accident.
An
object
such as a rock, branch
or even a bug that hits
you in the face can distract you; but if you are hit in the eyes, you could
be blinded. Regular sunglasses do not provide enough protection when
riding an ATV. A face shield or goggles will help protect you.
They should be:
• Free from scratches, preferably bearing the standard marking
AS1337, or constructed of a hard-coated polycarbonate.
• Securely fastened.
• Tinted for riding on bright days, clear for night riding or yellow for
overcast days.
Gloves
Gloves should be of the quality that will help prevent your hands from
getting sore, tired or cold, as well as offer protection in the event of a
spill. Off-road style gloves, available at motorcycle and ATV dealerships,
provide the best combination of protection and comfort. They are
padded over the knuckles for added protection. Leather gloves should
be avoided as they stretch and become slippery when wet.
Boots
The minimum protective footwear is a pair of strong, over-the-ankle
boots with low heels to help prevent your feet from slipping off the
footrests. Off-road style over-the-calf ATV or motorcycle boots offer the
best protection for feet, ankles and legs.
Clothing
It is important to protect your skin from scratches. A long-sleeved shirt
or jersey and long pants are minimum requirements for rider protection.
Off-road riding gear, (such as jersey; shoulder pads/chest protector; and
off-road pants with knee and shin pads) provide better protection.
