Appropriate UTV Gear 

The gear you choose to wear on your next ride is particularly important if you are planning to go off-roading. At a minimum, you'll want a helmet with a face shield or goggles. To help keep debris out of your mouth, it may also be a good idea to wear a face mask when you ride. Gloves aren't necessary, but they will help you keep a grip on the steering wheel in tough situations. 

Other Gear 

You'll also want to bring along some extra gear that can be stored in the UTV's trunk. Tire patches, a flashlight, and basic tools can all come in handy if your vehicle gets into a bit of trouble out on the trails. 

Road Rules 

While a UTV is not a car, it's still a powerful vehicle that needs to be treated appropriately. Don't drive drunk or when you are sleepy, and make sure you use proper safety equipment like seat belts. It's also a great idea to bring your cell phone along just in case you get lost!
