Riding Gear For ATVs

Because ATVs are open vehicles, they require riders to wear a variety of protective gear in order to ensure their safety. Otherwise, riders run the risk of being hit or blinded by debris, tearing up their skin on foreign objects, or injuring themselves in an accident or crash. If you’re making plans to hit your nearest nature trail or off-roading arena with your ATV, be sure to load up on the important pieces of riding gear below before you do. 

Helmet

Your helmet is your most important piece of riding equipment and we strongly recommend investing in a quality model. We encourage you to search for a model that’s been approved by the U.S. Department of Transportation and offers eye protection to help increase visibility and protect you from flying debris. 

Riding Gloves 

Riding gloves are another important piece of gear for ATV riders. Because ATVs are open vehicles and flying debris is common it’s easy to injure your hands while riding, resulting in riders releasing their handlebars and losing control of their vehicles. We recommend purchasing a pair of riding gloves to avoid this scenario—preferably with some protective padding. 

Riding Boots

You never know where you’ll need to stop when riding off-road. Thankfully, a durable pair of riding boots can help protect your feet from dangerous vegetation, flying debris, and help you avoid an injury when stopping at high speeds.
