Whether it’s from the sun, the wind, the rain or the rocks, you need to be protected from the harsh environment of backcountry riding. The editors of Dirt Toys Magazine have collected a solid list of products that will protect both you and your ride from the elements.
You can cover yourself completely with a full enclosure to your UTV, or you can add roofs, windshields and doors according to your needs. And as for your vehicle, skidplates and bumpers keep you protected from rocks and sagebrush.
