ATV safety gear is essential for every rider, whether you’re an experienced off-roader or just starting to explore trails. ATVs traverse rough terrain, sharp turns, and unpredictable conditions, so having the right safety equipment is critical. Proper gear not only helps reduce the risk of injury but also makes your rides more comfortable and enjoyable.
While traditional protective items like helmets, boots, gloves, and pads are the foundation of ATV safety gear, there are additional tools that enhance safety in less obvious ways.
In this post, we will recommend these safe-enhancing tools that you can get at Moman:
- Helmet Intercom: Keeps riders connected for safer communication.
- Goggles: Protects eyes from debris and glare.
- TPMS: Alerts to tire pressure and temperature issues.
They all complement traditional protective equipment to create a safer and more confident ATV riding experience.
Invest in an ATV helmet intercom to stay connected for safer communication
When traveling through remote terrain, it’s easy to lose your bearings, so having a reliable way to navigate while riding is essential. Using a phone on the move is unsafe, and stopping on the trail just to check directions isn’t always possible.
Since ATVs are designed for a single rider, staying in touch with others requires long-distance communication. That’s why every rider should use a wireless, hands-free communication system. These devices connect wirelessly to your phone or GPS, allowing you to talk with your group or follow navigation prompts without diverting your attention from the trail ahead.
Moman offers a range of helmet intercoms for ATV riding, and here are two popular options for pair and group riding.
Moman H2S audio multitasking intercom for paired ATV riding
For ATV riders who ride in pairs, the Moman H2S offers a reliable, easy-to-use intercom solution that keeps communication clear on trails and open terrain.
Installing the Moman H2S on an ATV helmet is quick and straightforward thanks to its universal mounting design. The clamp bracket attaches securely to the lower edge of the helmet, and the intercom unit slides on and off easily for charging.
It comes with both a soft microphone for full-face helmets and a boom microphone for modular or flip-up helmets. Pairing two H2S units is equally simple. Just short-press the intercom button on each unit in sequence, and they connect automatically.
On real ATV rides, from long trail sessions to extended hours in open terrain, the H2S maintained a stable connection with a second headset and delivered clear, consistent communication at distances of up to 1,000 meters. Voices remained easy to understand despite wind and engine noise.
The H2S also brings everyday smartphone audio into the helmet, letting you enjoy music or the built-in FM radio, follow navigation prompts, and handle calls without stopping. The large central dial is easy to use, even with gloves on. While chatting with other riders, the background audio continues playing quietly in the background.
Moman CP-X mesh helmet intercom for up to 24 ATV riders
The Moman CP-X makes mesh communication accessible for ATV riders by offering it at a very competitive price of $69 per unit. With support for up to 24 riders and a communication range of up to 2 km, it easily covers the needs of most group trail rides. The 40 mm speakers deliver noticeably better audio quality than entry-level intercoms, and the 10-hour battery life is sufficient for a full day of riding.
Using mesh tech helps keep ATV groups connected without interruptions. The system automatically maintains links between all riders, so if someone drops out of range, there’s no need to manually reconnect—once they’re back within distance, the connection restores itself.
Mesh setup is quick and straightforward. During group ATV rides, a short press of the intercom button on each unit is enough to sync everyone instantly. From there, communication feels natural, as the channel remains open continuously. The CP-X also supports group mesh mode, allowing a larger riding group to be divided into up to six separate sub-groups for more organized communication.
One limitation to keep in mind is that the CP-X is only compatible with intercoms from the same brand and cannot connect with systems made by other manufacturers.
Go for goggles for ATV riding for eye protection without losing clear view
Goggles are usually regarded as an essential piece of ATV safety gear.
While wearing a helmet is essential for safety, goggles offer both protection and convenience—especially during trail rides. They shield your eyes from airborne hazards such as insects, loose gravel, and branches, while also blocking sweat, dust, and dirt. Tinted lenses reduce eye strain and can function much like sunglasses.
High-quality goggles should feature scratch-resistant, hard-coated polycarbonate lenses and meet safety standards such as VESC8 (or V-8) or Z87.1. Look for well-ventilated designs to minimize fogging. And most importantly, ensure the goggles fit securely and comfortably with your helmet.
You can find two pairs of goggles at the Moman outdoor gear store.
Moman OG Goggles: A solid choice for ATV riders who want wide panoramic vision, reliable eye protection from wind, dust, mud, and UV rays, plus a comfortable fit with breathable padding and an adjustable strap — ideal for navigating rough trails and unpredictable terrain.
Moman AOG Goggles: Designed for ATV and off-road use with similar wide, clear PC lenses and UV400 protection, but with the added benefit of a removable nose guard to help shield your face from flying debris and mud on tougher rides.
Both pairs offer durable TPU frames, good comfort for extended rides, and dependable protection suited to off-road and ATV conditions — making them practical, budget-friendly options for trail riders.
Use app-based ATV tire pressure gauges for real-time pressure alerts and safer ATV control
Incorrect ATV tire pressure can cause serious safety and performance issues. Whether the pressure is too high, too low, or uneven, it reduces control, increases accident risk, and shortens tire life. Improper pressure also makes tires more prone to punctures or blowouts, especially during high speeds, sharp turns, or jumps.
A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) is a piece of ATV safety gear that continuously tracks tire air pressure. It warns the driver when pressure drops, helping prevent blowouts, reduced efficiency, and uneven tire wear. TPMS can be direct, using sensors inside each tire, or indirect, relying on wheel speed data. Overall, TPMS enhances safety, improves performance, and helps keep tires in optimal condition.
The Moman M2 TPMS is a perfect companion for ATV riders who want to keep their tires safe and properly inflated. This wireless system monitors real-time tire pressure and temperature via a smartphone app, sending instant alerts if anything goes outside the safe range.
The sensors are easy to install on standard valve stems, rugged enough to handle off-road conditions, and provide peace of mind on trails. They help prevent flats or handling issues. With quick installation, universal fit, and reliable notifications, the M2 TPMS ensures you can focus on the ride while staying informed about your tires’ status at all times.
More to get: ATV safety gear list of essential pieces
✨ Helmets for off-road vehicles: A helmet is the most critical piece of safety gear for ATV riding, as it protects your head from serious impacts that can be life-saving in a crash. Choose a helmet that fits snugly, offers good ventilation, stays comfortable during long rides, and meets recognized safety standards such as DOT, ECE, or Snell certification.
✨ Over-the-ankle boots: Skip sneakers or hiking shoes. Purpose-built riding boots shield your feet and ankles from rocks and engine heat. They also provide the ankle support needed to reduce the risk of twists and sprains. Non-slip, durable soles are important for solid traction on foot pegs.
✨ Full-finger gloves: Gloves enhance control by improving grip on the handlebars. They also protect your hands from branches, reduce vibration, and help prevent blisters, keeping you comfortable and in command of your ATV.
✨ Protective long clothing: Bare skin is exposed to scrapes, cuts, sunburn, and heat. Wearing long sleeves and durable long pants—such as riding gear or heavy denim—adds an essential layer of protection against common trail injuries.
✨ Pads and guards: Because ATVs lack seat belts, added body protection is important. Knee, elbow, and chin pads, along with a chest protector, help absorb impact during a crash and reduce the risk of serious injury.
✨ Additional essentials: Once your safety gear is covered, pack practical extras for the ride. Maps or a GPS help with navigation, while a phone or satellite device is crucial in emergencies. A compact first-aid kit is useful for minor injuries, and a winch can be invaluable if your ATV gets stuck.
