ATV Gear Rec?

[the chi]

Thanks guys...

Got a Polaris 500 HO, winch and everything *happy dance*. Easily used, great shap, too good a deal to let it slip by, tho my hubby may take it and give me his Honda Rancher 400 since mine's bigger.

I've got boots, I use my knee high snake boots, tall, sturdy and waterproof. I found a helmet I want to get but since this isnt something I've done more than a couple times on the fly I dont know what exactly is entailed.

gloves, boots, chest protector, helmet, goggles

This.

I got the wife a Yamaha TTR125 as a wedding gift. She crashed alot. We ended up selling it when times got tough.

Moral of the story is the chest protector saved her more than once. I wouldn't let her on it with out all the gear Drewpy just listed.

I've been riding quads for 20 years. If I'm doing serious riding, I completely gear up. If I'm just out for a nice leisurely tour of the back 40, I squid it!

Another vote for Scott goggles.

MX helmet, goggles, good boots, gloves, kidney belt, and some MX pants are what you need at a minimum. You can get an MX shirt for cheap.. the ones with the elbow pads sewn in. Unless you are riding with other riders and they are throwing some big roost, you wont need a chest protector, or knee guards.

Make sure you get MX pants with the hip pads in them.

OK that is a different story.

To put thing in perspective, utility quads are the Harleys of ATV'ing.

Required gear is shorts, tank top and a beer in hand. Helmets are frowned upon unless required by law.
