Tips for Buying Motocross Boots
1. Compare Motocross and Off-Road Boots
Both motocross and off-road boots protect riders. However, the high impact nature of genuine motocross riding means that motocross boots are generally sturdier and offer more in terms of armor over the feet and legs. As a result, most motocross boots are more costly than off-road boots. Anyone shopping for motocross boots should ensure that they find a pair with the right level of protection. Riders who plan to ride off road but not specifically motocross may be able to make do with off-road boots.2. Find the Correct Size
Because riders wear these boots during high-pressure and sometimes stressful events, it is important that motocross boots fit the riders well. Some European motocross companies use European shoe sizes, so it is a good idea for consumers to be familiar with the differences in sizing. Men's U.S. Size |

Of course, various brands sometimes fit slightly differently, so shoppers should also know the correct measurements of their feet before making any purchases. This also means both men and women can find the correct size, using measurements rather than size number. Furthermore, some boots that do not seem to fit at first may be perfect after a breaking-in period.
3. Decide on an Ankle Type
During a motocross event, the rider's ankles take heavy impact. The best motocross boots offer enough flexibility that the rider maintains good control, but also offer significant protection for the joints. When choosing motocross boots, riders must decide how important extra flexibility is to them. Some motocross boots feature a hinged design that gives a good deal of flexibility, but these are often associated with higher costs. Other boots have solid ankle areas that give protection but not as much flexibility.4. Examine Boot Material
Because protection should be the main feature of a good pair of motocross boots, the material doing the protecting is important to consider. Many motocross boots use steel to reinforce the toe and heel guards. This offers great protection but also adds weight to the boots. Lower-cost boots may only have plastic armor, which does not offer the same degree of protection.5. Look for Reliable Closure Mechanisms
Motocross boots are only able to offer protection if they actually stay on the feet securely. This is why reliable boot closures are so important when shopping for motocross boots. The buckles and zippers, as well as any straps or other closures should be snug and feel secure when the boots are in place.Zippers
Motocross boots that have inner booties sometimes include zippers to get a snug fit over the feet. The zippers should slide up and down easily, but not sag or fall when in the zipped position. In general, metal zippers are more reliable than their plastic counterparts.Buckles
The buckles on motocross boots keep the boots on the feet. They should feel solid and lock in place. Most boots features four buckles up the sides of the boots, but some only have three. As long as the rider feels secure, either style works. Riders with bigger legs should also make sure the buckles are adjustable so that their calves fit into the boots comfortably.6. Remember Boot Maintenance
Even the best pair of motocross boots needs regular maintenance to stay in good shape. Riders should always clean off excess mud and dirt after wearing the boots, using a high-pressure hose if necessary. A degreaser and warm soapy water removes any remaining grime while leather conditioner keeps the leather in the boots from cracking and aging too quickly.Friday, April 8, 2016
Chest Protector
A good, high quality motocross style chest protector is a piece of dirt
bike safety gear anyone that is going to be riding a dirt bike should
wear whether they're riding casually on the weekends or they're hard
charging through moto's, trying to last in the gnarliest of all off-road
courses or even hucking the meanest gaps and working on the sickest
trick combo's.
A chest protector is a great idea to be wearing and even though these are mainly marketed as “Roost Deflectors” they also do a good job at protecting a riders upper body / torso and back from more than flying roost & rocks by dispersing the energy from an impact across the front or rear panels. (ie: hitting the ground, getting hit by your own or another rider's bike, being impaled by a tree branch or the like, as well as providing protection should you find yourself being used for traction)
When shopping for a chest protector it's important to ensure you're looking at one that is neck brace friendly and is advertised as being compatible with most if not all neck braces, as some of the older roost guards frequently don't provide adequate clearance to fit comfortably with a neck brace without modification (ie: trimming, hack sawing & cutting the front or rear panels and supporting straps or shoulder pieces).

An important consideration to keep in mind is whether or not you are going to be wearing this under the jersey or over.
There are deflectors which are designed to be worn under a jersey as well as chest and back protectors designed to be worn over the jersey and these differences also provide different levels of protection as an "under jersey" roost deflector is primarily designed to only protect a rider from flying roost with minimal crash protection, while a more popular outer protector generally offers better upper body, shoulder and bicep protection in the event of a crash while also providing excellent roost protection if you're on someone's back wheel, although some riders have noticed that the outer protectors are somewhat restrictive in allowing movement and overall bulky.
