Proper snowmobile clothing should be worn by all riders. It should be
comfortable and not too tight. Always check the weather forecast be-
fore going on a ride. Dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal
underwear next to the skin also provides a good insulation.
Always wear an approved helmet at all times for safety and comfort.
They provide both warmth and reduce injury. A stocking type cap, ba-
laclava and face mask should always be carried or worn. Goggles or a
face shield that attach to the helmet are indispensable.
Hands should be protected by a pair of snowmobile gloves or mitts
which have sufficient insulation and allow use of thumbs and fingers
for operation of controls.
Rubber bottom boots with either a nylon or a leather top, with remov-
able felt liners are best suited for snowmobiling.
You should keep yourself as dry as possible when snowmobiling.
When you come indoors, take your snowmobile suit and boots off and
make certain they dry properly.
Do not wear a long scarf or loose apparels that could get caught in
moving parts.
Carry colored lens goggles.
