A helmet must be always worn as they are a protective piece of equipment designed to cover the head thereby protecting the eyes from the sun and ultimately ultraviolet rays of the sun. They also prevent eye injuries caused by bullet rounds.
The simple technique of making sure your helmet is properly fastened under your chin saves you from both foreseeable or unforeseeable danger and harm. It is necessary to wear shoes that cover the ankles. To prevent slipping hazards, footwear should be composed of durable leather with a decent low-heeled, oil-resistant sole. This is a criterion that must be met by army boots. During the day, a brightly colored outer upper garment is necessary, and at night, a reflective upper garment is required. The best vests are those with high-visibility colors and retro reflecting materials. Vests can be worn over jackets to improve visibility and allow drivers to better evaluate the speed and position of riders, especially in low-light or wet circumstances.
Also, the required tactical gear gloves should also be worn by the rider, and it must be of the right material composition suited for military bikes as it must be the type that grips handlebar as a slipping off may lead to fracture or other bodily injuries occasioned by the slipping.
