DRESSING FOR COLD WEATHER RIDING

Riding in cold weather can be hazardous. At a temperature of 10°F (-12°C),

the wind chill created by going just 10 mph (16km/h) makes you as cold as if

you were standing still at a temperature of -9°F (-23°C). At this temperature,

exposed esh will freeze in just a few minutes.

Continued exposure in the cold weather could lead to hypothermia.

Hypothermia occurs when your body’s inner temperature drops. Symptoms

include numbness in the extremities (hands, feet, arms, and legs), and

shivering. Damp clothing contributes to hypothermia because cold water on

your skin will drain heat from your body’s core.

We strongly recommend that if you do any cold-weather riding, that you

familiarize yourself with the symptoms, treatment, and prevention of

hypothermia. Information is available at libraries and through government

agencies.

Plan your winter rides with safety and comfort in mind. Dress for the worst

conditions you might encounter. Be prepared for bad weather and ATV

breakdowns. Wear warm, water-resistant clothing such as thermal underwear,

snowmobile suits, lined gloves, lined boots, and wool socks.

WARNING

Wearing loose clothing when riding your ATV could be hazardous.

Loose clothing, such as a long scarf or shawl, could get caught in an

ATV’s moving parts.

Never wear loose clothing when riding your ATV.

WARNING

Operating your ATV in cold weather without proper clothing could be

hazardous.

Continued exposure in the cold weather could lead to Hypothermia.

Hypothermia is a condition where your body’s inner temperature drops low

enough to cause injury or death.

Always dress for the worst weather conditions you might encounter. Be

prepared for bad weather and ATV breakdowns.
