HOW TO DRESS
Proper snowmobile clothing should be worn. It should be comfort-
able and not too tight. Always check the weather forecast before you
go on a ride. Dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal under-
wear next to the skin also provides an important layer of insulation.
Approved helmets are recommended at all times. They provide both
warmth and reduce injury. A stocking type cap, balaclava and face
mask should always be carried or worn. Goggles or a face shield
which attach to the helmet are indispensable.
Hands should be protected by a pair of snowmobile gloves or mitts
which have sufficient insulation and permit use of thumbs and fingers
for operation of controls.
Rubber bottom boots with either a nylon or a leather top, with remov-
able felt liners are best suited for snowmobiling.
You should keep yourself as dry as possible when snowmobiling.
When you come indoors, take your snowmobile suit and boots off
and make certain they dry properly.
Do not wear long scarfs and loose apparels that could get caught
in moving parts.

tools that can help him and others in an emergency:

Include other items depending on the length and time of your ride.
