You will learn about this by reading the information presented in this article.
Headdress
ATV equipment begins with the most important part - the helmet. This attribute is designed to protect the pilot’s head from shock and shock. This part of the body should be covered as much as possible, therefore it is desirable that the helmet be motocross. This model is different in that it sits tightly on the head, reliably protects not only its upper part, but also the chin. For riding in bad weather, new equipment is used - integrals and flip-ups (helmets with glass of the latest generation). They well cover the face from dust, dirt, rain. For the cold season, the outfit for the pilot of the ATV must also include the cap comforter.
If the headgear of the ATV is not equipped with glass, then glasses must be worn. They should transmit light well, providing maximum visibility to the pilot.
clothing
ATV equipment includes a protective suit. It is made of special high-tech fabrics. Such uniforms should not allow moisture to pass through, retain heat well and provide free air circulation. Equipped with such a pilot suit and additional protective equipment:
- fasteners on the jacket, with which you can connect the jacket and trousers;
- straps that adjust the length of the sleeve;
- a stand-up collar that covers the neck all the way to the helmet;
- magnetic fasteners on a jacket.
Hand and foot protection
The equipment for ATVs will be considered complete when knee pads, elbow pieces are present in its kit. As a rule, these uniform details (except gloves) are made of polyurethane - a light but very durable material. The equipment of a professional athlete can be supplemented with protective equipment such as shoulder pads and a chest vest. Gloves are sewn of durable fabrics: fleece, felt, leather. This uniform element must have reliable fasteners in the form of rivets, belts or strong Velcro.
Footwear
The legs of the ATV should be as closed as possible. Boots with a high boot, berets - this is the best option for protecting the lower limbs of an amateur pilot. Professional athletes use special motocross boots for these purposes. They are equipped with buckle straps that allow you to secure the shoes on your foot very securely.
Outfit of the young racer

Along with large ATVs, guys ride on such vehicles of smaller dimensions along the track. Many of them in skill are not inferior to experienced athletes. Therefore, in order for the health and life of the young rider to be safe, it is important to take care of the availability of reliable protection details.
