Getting your first off-roading vehicle like an ATV, snowmobile, or side-by-side, is exciting! By now you're already pre-approved - But once you start riding, you’ll quickly realize how important the essential accessories for your off road vehicle keep you safe, comfortable and prepared for anything on the trail. With the right gear, you can enjoy your adventures even more while staying safe and prepared.
Yes Drive: Helping You Get Ready.
1. Helmet and Protective Gear
Safety is always the most important part of riding. A helmet is the top priority and is often required by law in many places. Choose one that fits well and protects your head completely.
Other protective gear you’ll need includes:
Gloves to protect your hands.
Riding boots for support and protection.
Goggles to shield your eyes from dirt and debris.
For added safety, padded jackets or body armor can help prevent injuries when riding on rough terrain. It's always a good to join a club to see if anyone has
2. Storage Solutions
Whether you’re going for a quick ride or carrying supplies, storage is a must. Accessories like racks, saddlebags, or waterproof storage boxes make it easy to bring along tools, firewood, or hunting gear.
Waterproof storage is especially helpful if you ride in wet or snowy conditions, keeping your belongings safe and dry.
3. Snowplow or Winch
In snowy areas, a snowplow attachment for your ATV or snowmobile can be a lifesaver. It makes clearing driveways or paths much easier during the winter.
If you don’t need a plow, a winch is a great addition. It’s useful for:
Pulling your vehicle out if it gets stuck.
Hauling heavy items.
Helping others with recovery in tricky situations.
4. Trail Lights
If you’re riding in the evening or through dark trails, extra lighting is a must. Adding trail lights or a light bar to your vehicle can improve visibility and make your rides safer and more enjoyable.
Good lighting helps you navigate better, especially in remote areas or during shorter winter days.
5. Tool Kit
Having a basic tool kit can save the day if something goes wrong. Include essentials like:
Wrenches
Screwdrivers
Pliers
It’s also smart to carry spare parts like spark plugs, air filters, and fuses in case of an emergency on the trail.
6. Heated Gear
Riding in the winter can be fun, but staying warm is important. Heated gear like gloves, seat warmers, or a heated vest can make cold-weather rides much more comfortable. With the right gear, you’ll enjoy every adventure—even in freezing temperatures.
