Although there is no legal requirement to
wear any protective clothing when riding off road, all responsible
manufacturers recommend that you wear a motorcycle helmet approved to the
current safety standard ECE 22.05. Ensure that it is the correct size;
otherwise it could easily come off in an accident.
Stout clothing, particularly footwear that
offers ankle support and gloves for abrasion resistance, are important to
offer protection from any spills. For competition use the BSMA recommend
body armour (knee and elbow pads and chest deflector) are readily available.
