| Lifejackets |
| These are two examples of the most poplar lifejackets worn by our adults. These both have built in back supports. Junior racers are allowed to wear lifejackets with additional back support in the form of body armour. This is because to-date there are not any suppliers who have made the adult style which is fitted and adapted to fit a junior. All lifejackets have to be orange or yellow in colour.

| Helmets |
Race helmets are required to be orange in colour and must conform to E28 requirements. A poplar model is the Nitro N250-vx. This retails at approx £49.99 http://www.nitro-helmets.com/product_category.php?category_id=63

| Overalls |
All limbs must be covered whilst racing and overalls prove the most poplar way of doing this. Demon Tweeks have a great variety starting from around £40 up to however much you are willing to pay! http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/
