The minimum protective gear required for riding a quad bike is a helmet, eye protection, gloves, and closed-toe shoes; for more aggressive riding, add body and joint protection.
The bare minimum
- Helmet (preferably a full-face motorcycle helmet or motocross helmet): protects the head from impact, branches, stones, and falls; mandatory for both the driver and passenger.
- Goggles or visor: protect the eyes from sand, dust, wind, and stones; if the helmet does not have a visor, separate protective goggles with a strap are required.
- Gloves: protect hands from abrasions, branches, and cold, improve grip on the handlebars; motorcycle gloves or thick sports gloves are suitable.
- Closed shoes: sturdy sneakers or boots with stiff soles that support the ankle and cover the toes.
Highly desirable additional protection
Body protection (“turtle”/armor) or jacket with built-in inserts: chest, back, shoulders, elbows.
Knee pads and, if possible, elbow pads: minimal protection when falling on your side.
Buff/mask or balaclava: protection for the face and neck from dust, sand, and sun.
