Getting Ready & Protective Gear

Which clothing choice best protects a rider's arms and legs?

  • A.A long-sleeved jacket and long pants made of abrasion-resistant material
  • B.A short-sleeved shirt and shorts in warm weather
  • C.Loose scarves and flowing sleeves
  • D.Any clothing, because only the helmet matters
Correct answer

A. A long-sleeved jacket and long pants made of abrasion-resistant material

Why

Abrasion-resistant jackets and long pants reduce cuts and road rash if you fall and shield you from wind, sun, and debris. Bare skin and loose, flapping material offer little protection and can become a distraction.
