International Female Ride Day is May 2, 2026, and with summer approaching, it’s the perfect time to gear up. Whether you ride street, dirt, or trail, the right gear is essential for your safety and confidence.
Off-Road Gear
Off-road jerseys and pants are designed for abrasion resistance, ventilation, and freedom of movement — not as a substitute for impact armor. For motocross, desert, or technical trail riding, plan to pair them with appropriate body armor: a chest protector or roost guard, knee/shin guards or knee braces, and elbow guards. A neck brace is also worth considering for higher-speed or jump-heavy riding.

This article is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute professional safety, medical, or legal advice. Motorcycle riding and off-road powersports activities involve inherent risk of serious injury or death.
No riding gear can guarantee protection in every crash or impact. The performance of any helmet, armor, or apparel depends on proper fit, correct use, the nature of the incident, and the gear's condition at the time. Helmets and impact armor that have been involved in a crash, dropped, or otherwise compromised should be replaced — even if no damage is visible.
Always wear a properly fitted DOT-certified helmet (with additional ECE 22.06 or Snell certification recommended for street and track use), CE-certified impact armor where appropriate, and motorcycle-specific footwear and gloves. Verify the specific certifications and included components of any product before purchase, as armor configuration and certifications vary by SKU and model year.
