1) Body Guards

Look out for CE Approved products.  These have been tried and tested to ensure as much protection as possible.

This will include

• Freedom of movement: especially ergonomic plastic, no limitation of movement.
• Performance: very little waste of energy, extremely light, made out of innovative materials.
• Safety: protection for all exposed parts of the body.

2) Back Supports

These are available with or without body belts.  These offer support to the vulnerable back area.  Modern back supports are made from breathable material whilst still offering great support and protection on the race track.

3) Neck Support

Arguably the most important protection for Motocross Riders, the neck support.

Great features to look out for include:

4) Knee Brace

In every sport, the knees are often the most likely joint to injure and force careers to end short.

Two key features to demand from your knee support include:

1) Ergonomic structure with high-performance structure characteristics
2) Total containment of the knee joint.
a - medial and lateral collateral ligament support
b - anterior and posterior cruciate ligament support
c - patella protection

Whatever your level, wearing high quality protection is a must to give you the best possible chance of avoiding injury and keep you where you belong - racing at the weekend.
