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.
