Full-fingered gloves

To reduce the risk of injury, riders should wear a helmet, eye protection, heavy shoes or boots, full-length pants, a jacket, and full-fingered gloves. Clothing should be made of durable materials to best protect the wearer.

2. When riding in rain or fog, you should:

Use your high beam headlight.

Use your low beam headlight.

Not use your headlight.

Alternate between your headlight's low and high beam settings.

You should use your low beam headlight when riding in snowy, rainy, or foggy weather. A high beam headlight can reflect off of these conditions and make it more difficult for a rider to see.

Is usually too warm to wear when riding.

Provides protection in a crash.
