Essentials of Motocross Clothing and Gear

The sport of motocross is a challenging and dangerous one. Jumping over dirt mounds and hills, flying dozens of feet into the air, the hard landings and the inevitable crashes. However, motocross gear and accessories make the sport just a little more comfortable and safer too. The essentials are good clothing with protector gear.

First on your list is a quality helmet, to protect your head and neck during impact, and to prevent or reduce head injury. A typical motocross helmet will possess elongated chin and visor portions, a chin bar, and a partially open face, to give you extra protection whilst wearing goggles. The visor will help keep the sun out of your eyes – particularly important during jumps.

It will protect the head in crashes and collisions with other bikes, so it has to be strong, yet comfortable for the rider. Most motocross helmets are made of carbon, Kevlar, fiberglass or a composite material. The main goal of a helmet is to absorb impact should the rider crash, whether into another rider.

Motocross clothing together with protecting gear means safer riding, more fun and also more chanves of winning a race. A rider that is confident about his gear can only worry about the jumps and corners and dedicate mind to winning.
