- protects you from the weather
- helps to protect you from some types of injury
- helps other road users to see you
By law you must wear a safety helmet when riding a motorcycle on the road. You should also consider using the following items of clothing when riding a motorcycle:
- visors or goggles
- gloves and gauntlets
- protective clothing
- boots
- visibility aids
- comply with British Standard BS 6658:1985 and carry the BSI kitemark
- comply with UNECE Regulation 22.05
- comply with any standard accepted by a member of the European Economic Area which offers a level of safety and protection equivalent to BS 6658:1985 and carry a mark equivalent to the BSI kitemark.
In the USA the testing standards are DOT (Department of Transportation) or Snell. We also accept the 22.05 standard but good luck finding a cop that knows that.
