How should a rider's jacket and pants fit?
Correct answer: Close enough to the body that they do not flap in the wind.
Answer options
- AClose enough to the body that they do not flap in the wind Correct
- BLoose enough that the wind can catch and fill the fabric
- CSo tight that they limit how freely you can move
Why
Riding clothes should be snug so they stay quiet and in place at speed, yet still let you move freely to work the controls. Fabric that billows in the wind is distracting, and gear that is too tight makes it hard to ride.
