Motocross 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"
