Protective Apparel

For your safety, we strongly recommend that you
always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, eye
protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-
sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you ride. Although
complete protection is not possible, wearing proper
gear can reduce the chance of injury when you ride.
Following are suggestions to help you choose proper
gear.
WARNING
!
Not wearing a helmet increases the chance of
serious injury or death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger always wear a
helmet, eye protection and other protective apparel
when you ride.
Helmets and Eye Protection
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
securely. A bright-coloured helmet can make you more
noticeable in traffic, as can reflective strips.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-
face helmet offers more. Always wear a face shield or
goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Additional Riding Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also
recommend:
• Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help protect your
feet and ankles.
• Leather gloves to keep your hands warm and help
prevent blisters, cuts, burns and bruises.
• A motorcycle riding suit or jacket for comfort as well
as protection. Bright-coloured and reflective clothing
can help make you more noticeable in traffic. Be sure
to avoid loose clothes that could get caught on any
part of your motorcycle.
