ATV Gear Rec?
Like it says, looking for ATV gear recommendations. I know I need a helmet, I was looking at goggles, but dont know if thats something I need or may be required at some places to ride or if a sturdy pair of sunglasses would suffice. I dont plan on jumping obstacles (yet) or anything crazy, just some trail riding and muddin.
So, if you have experience and want to throw some info my way, please do!

Goggles are definitely mandatory.
I bought my wife boots, pants and gloves when she started to ride. She will have a chest protector before hitting the track. Dirt gear can be found cheap. There is no reason not to buy it. What kind of quad did you get?

Thanks guys...
Got a Polaris 500 HO, winch and everything *happy dance*. Easily used, great shap, too good a deal to let it slip by, tho my hubby may take it and give me his Honda Rancher 400 since mine's bigger.  I've got boots, I use my knee high snake boots, tall, sturdy and waterproof. I found a helmet I want to get but since this isnt something I've done more than a couple times on the fly I dont know what exactly is entailed.

Not a bad ride... too bad it's a Popo though
Enjoy it, and don't let hubby steal it! Regardless of it being a popo, it's still a better trail/mudding rig than the Honda!

To put thing in perspective, utility quads are the Harleys of ATV'ing. Required gear is shorts, tank top and a beer in hand. Helmets are frowned upon unless required by law.
