I wear 661 knee braces, chest protector, and the basics (boots, helmet, gloves, goggles).

I was just wondering how many people wear all that other stuff...elbow guards, wrist braces, Leatt brace, kidney belt, ankle brace...

Boots, knee pads, Chest protector helmet. If I am on the trail I have a fox safety jacket underprotector. The type with the spine and elbow protection. I prefer the loose chestprotectors though.

I stretch before each ride and try to warm up as best I can to prevent any real injury.

I've proven that there's not enough safety gear made to protect me, but....


Alpinestars Tech 8 boots, Asterisk knee braces, and Fox Airframe chest protector are standard equipment. I vary between Fox or Shoei helmets, and it's often Fox gear, though it might be time for a change.

Also, I'll be wearing a Leatt the next time out.

Must be nice getting all that stuff for free...Kissing

Just kidding...

Are the Fox helmets \"that\" good? I love my Shoei, but I am thinking about trying an Arai. I don't mind spending a couple of hundred extra $$ for quality stuff. I have heard/read that Arai are the safest out there.
