WHOSE GONNA PUT SOME MOTORCYCLE SAFETY GEAR ON THIS KID?

Motorcycle gifts for kids include much of the same gear that adults need: Helmets, jackets, shirts, gloves, pants, boots, armor and lotsa love. And that “Love” part is the main ingredient!

Not only is it important to get them properly outfitted and protected while they’re young, but it’s the kind of habit that they are more likely to maintain throughout their life if you help them set a good example when they’re young. In other words, you are helping them to enjoy safe sports for the rest of their lives!

TWO DISTINCTIONS FOR KIDS MOTORCYCLE GEAR

In addition to the fact that much of this stuff is for off-road riding, there are two more distinctions:

1. Motorcycle gear for kids is smaller (obviously)
   
2. Motorbike apparel for kids looks better than on most adults!

MOTOCROSS APPAREL FOR MEN, WOMEN AND YOUTH

FOX RACING markets apparel for guys and gals who are into motorcycles, BMX, Wakeboarding, Surfing, and Mountain biking.

Fox Racing Inc. was founded in 1974 by Geoff Fox in Morgan Hill, California, USA.

Moto-X Fox (as it was originally known), took its first steps in the motorcycle business world by distributing European motocross bikes. After two years, they were making high-performance suspension and engine components, specifically targeted for racers.

To showcase his emerging product line, Geoff Fox started a racing team.

However, was proved more successful was the bright gear his riders wore, and fans began calling him to get the same.

By 1980 Fox had reshaped his company to be a part of the United States Motocross apparel industry. In later years Fox started to make BMX gear and sell products in New Zealand.

Today, the company is still a family owned business with all four of Geoff’s children working full-time for the company. They also offer a line of casual wear that includes the following: t-shirts, shorts, hats, jeans, sweaters, sweatshirts, backpacks and jackets in both men’s and women’s sizes.

When you toss in sizes for kids and adults, including men, women, boys and girls, and all kinds of colors and designs, you can get the idea that there are LOTS of different MOTORCYCLE JERSEYS to choose from.

Of course these are the kinds of jerseys that also make good gifts for anyone (including non-riders) interested in conspicuous casual attire.

Most jerseys are made of polyester and/or mesh fabrics, so they’re lightweight, breathe and are cool. They’re comfortable to wear and the colors are usually fade resistance. (Check the specifications for each jersey).

OFF-ROAD, MOTOCROSS HELMETS

Dirt-bike riding offers some of the greatest pleasures in motorbike riding I have experienced – even if the majority of the off-road riding I did was as a kid. But even way back then, I wouldn’t ride without my 1970s-era helmet, which did come in very handy at times!

All motorcycle helmets are not created equal.

And off-road helmets, or more specifically dirt-bike and MOTOCROSS HELMETS have some observable differences, in spite of their obvious similarities to FULL-FACE street helmets.

OFF-ROAD HELMET DIFFERENCES

Here are the most visible differences that distinguish a motocross full-face helmet from a full-face helmet for street riding:

• Dirt bike helmets have an elongated and angular chin section




• Dirt bike helmets are typically worn with goggles and not a face shield




• Off Road full-face helmets also have a long VISOR to shade the eyes

Originally, off-road helmets did not have the chin section. Early dirt-bike riders used helmets that are very similar to modern open face street helmets (also called 3/4 helmets, since they cover 3/4 of the head).

The elongated and angular chin section (which is round on a street helmet) offers some facial impact protection in addition to protection from flying dirt and debris.

The helmet visor keeps the sun out of the eyes of the rider, and seems like such a useful feature that you might wonder why they are not standard on street bike versions of full-face helmets.

However, street-bike helmets are designed for use at higher speeds than dirt-bike riding and are made to be more aerodynamic – and visors do not aid an aerodynamic profile.

Further to that, at higher speeds, such a helmet visor could be downright dangerous, as a wind blasts could snap the rider’s head in different directions when riding at higher speeds – which does not aid rider safety. (Note: there are available very SHORT visors for some street helmets).

When properly combined with goggles, motocross full-face helmets offer similar protection to that of full-face street helmets – and most obviously, the added protection of any full-face helmet is protection for the chin and face, which other helmets do not offer.
