    When dirt bike racing was at it's infancy riders wore whatever was available to protect themselves. Open experienced helmets, Jofa pants, natural leather protection... as the protective equipment hasn't been specifically made for dirt and grime bike racing, riders looked similar to confused hockey playing bikies than dirt bike racers!

    As the sport (best sport in the world mind you:) became most liked, the growth was then capable to sustain 'parallel' or related manufacturing industries. Companies like JT USA, Sinisalo or anything else. could now focus primarily on making only motocross items.

    More money was now being pushed into explore and development of motocross items, sponsorship of riders and marketing programs

    More emphasis was being placed on style so colour was added to gear to match dirt bike colourings or only to be outrageous and various. Pink was big mid eighties (I did so not say it has been always in good tastes).

    Body armour moved to be worn over the top of race jerseys accordingly they became more stylised to fascinate users. In itself to become fashion statement, but was researched and tested to also be practical and offer maximum convenience. Today's body armour provides 'floating' shoulder cups and flexible back and side panels to cater for both sitting and position positions when riding. Can come in several colour options including clear as well as built in kidney belts on some models.

    Race pants received at this time there own special treatment produced heavy duty nylon using doubled stitching, extra room in the butt to take care of the crouched/sitting riding position and cordura, kevlar and leather sections in high wear areas like the seat and knees. Spandex panels are utilized to allow for move where necessary. A quality race pant can provide extra room in the knee area providing for knee braces that a growing number of riders are wearing.

    Jersey material went from cotton to sweat/moisture wicking polyester/cotton blends to offer greater comfort for lengthened periods of riding. Vented panels were placed in 'hot spots' and quite possibly little touches like rubber strips in the tail to hold them in the race pants on quite possibly the roughest ride.

    Boots were being designed to handle high impact landings together with ultimate ankle protection. Replaceable feet and buckles prolonging their own use. They are now carefully constructed avoiding the damaging lateral and hyperextension movements around the ankle area.

    Dirtbike gloves - pick them wisely and make sure they fit correctly. Some gloves are better suited to certain types of riding than others. Motocross gloves offer better feel for the rider with less padding inside palms. Enduro gloves could possibly be opposite with more padding to give greater comfort for longer rides.

    Elbow protection can be found in a "sleeve" that additionally covers the forearms. Knee/shin guards are lighter and stronger and some hinder 'lateral' movement of the knee (gone are definitely the days of using skateboarders safeguard). Although with the onset of lightweight, composite materials it's possible to have the ultimate with protection with knee braces.

    All this protection would mean nothing if you cannot see. So it is very very important to properly protect considered one of your greatest assets (as well among the five senses) inside your sight. Different goggle manufacturers have their own personal registered names for their own lenses, but they basically mean the same principal - scratch resistant, shatterproof protection to your eyes.

    So next time you go for a dirtbike ride, dress in the latest motocross gear and become comforted in the knowledge you've got minimized risk to your body whenever possible. That will allow you to spotlight what you are at this time there for... enjoying the vehicle!

    The old saying is still as true as ever - "dress for any fall, not for that ride".
