Riding an ATV brings an unrivaled sense of freedom and adventure. Whether you’re tearing through muddy trails, climbing rocky hills, or navigating forest paths, there’s no shortage of excitement when you’re behind the handlebars. But as any seasoned rider will tell you, the key to truly enjoying your ride is prioritizing safety every step of the way. At Munro Powersports, we’re here to help you gear up with everything you need to stay safe, confident, and ready for any terrain.
Equipping yourself with the right safety gear not only protects you from injuries but also enhances your riding experience. Need a refresher on what you’ll need before your next outing? Don’t worry—we’ve got you covered! Here’s a breakdown of the essential safety gear every ATV rider should have.
Your Helmet Is Your MVP
Think of your helmet as your best friend on the trail. It’s the single most important piece of safety gear you’ll own, and in many areas, such as Canada and the United States, wearing a DOT-approved helmet isn’t just recommended—it’s the law.
The right helmet does much more than guard your head during impacts. It protects you from flying debris, keeps bugs and dirt and road debris out of your face, and can dramatically reduce the risk of major injuries. To get the best protection, make sure your helmet fits snugly and securely. We always recommend a helmet on in person before deciding to shop online with a trusted provider like Munro Powersports. We can always get you a different brand or color but the right size and fit is what matters the most.
Pro Tip: Consider helmets with polarized visors or goggles for added protection and improved visibility! Check out our detailed helmet guide for more tips on finding the perfect fit.
Don’t Overlook Eye Protection
Ever had mud or dust whip into your face while riding? It’s not just annoying—it’s dangerous. Goggles are a must to keep your eyes safe from debris, branches, and harsh weather conditions. Durable, high-quality goggles provide you with clear visibility and allow you to stay focused on the trail ahead without worrying about painful eye injuries.

Gloves to Protect and Perfect Your Grip
Trail riding demands control, and nothing helps with grip and stability like a reliable pair of riding gloves. Gloves shield your hands from harsh weather, blisters, and debris while also giving you a better handle on the handlebars.
If you frequently tackle rugged terrain, opt for gloves with padded knuckles or reinforced protection. Check out our latest guides to choosing the best riding gloves for your needs.
Armor Up for Impact
ATV riding is unpredictable—there’s always a chance you’ll take a tumble or encounter a rough collision. That’s where body armor and padded gear come in. Chest protectors, padded jackets, and even knee or elbow guards can minimize the risk of serious injuries by shielding vital areas like your ribs, spine, and joints.
Trust us; it’s worth investing in quality protective wear to keep you riding with peace of mind. Explore your options today!
Sturdy Boots—Leave the Sneakers at Home
Your feet and ankles do a lot of work when you’re riding, so don’t skimp on footwear. Proper riding boots with non-slip soles, ankle support, and reinforced toe caps provide the stability and protection you need for navigating tricky terrain.
Forget the sneakers. Boots are the smarter, safer choice for keeping your feet comfortable and protected from flying rocks, fallen branches, and other obstacles.
Enhance Your Ride With ATV Add-Ons
While personal safety gear is your first line of defense, ATV accessories play a huge role in keeping you safe too. Items like flags, lights, and mirrors improve your visibility on the trail, while first-aid kits ensure you’re prepared for minor scrapes or cuts.
