Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Full helmet, rigid-cloth pants, high shoes, gloves and a basic riding jacket.
A full, approved helmet protects the whole head, including the face and jaw, which are often hit in a crash, unlike a half helmet. Rigid-cloth pants, high shoes, gloves and a riding jacket protect the skin and joints from scraping and impact in a fall. Sandals leave the feet and ankles exposed and are unsuitable for riding.
