| Dirtbike boots are specially made so that they are stiff in the ankle in case you hit something. The part that covers your shin is also very hard for the same reason. They have barely any tread, and most have steel toes. Despite all these thing, most riding boots are very comfortable. Some of the common riding boot manufacturers are Alpinestars, O'neal, and Fox. | |||

| Riding jerseys and pants are very helpful, because they keep you dry, even in a lot of mud. They also protect you, because the knees are padded in the pants and the jerseys are made of a lightweight, yet very heavy duty material.
