Gear -Dirt bikes are an active, physical sport so a rider needs
to move freely with the mental reassurance & piece of mind
that they are fully protected.
Motocross
Gear - Helmets
Motocross
helmets need to be light but strong, while conforming to the country's
safety codes. Made of fiberglass or lightweight composite materials
(carbon/Kevlar) with options such as removable liners and venting
systems.
It
is vital to get the right fit when purchasing a helmet, too tight
will stress you as you try to ride and too loose can even have
it slip out of position or even off in a crash.
Never
buy a used helmet as the safety liner or inner core is what deforms
in an accident to protect your head. As this white form core is
out of sight you wont see if it's damaged or not.
Other
important gear for full coverage protection include:
- goggles
- gloves
- elbow
guards
- knee
and shin guards or knee braces
When
it comes to motocross gear the old road adage still applies
"Dress
for the Fall, Not the Ride"
