Protective gear

[wolfier]

Just wondering, what sort of protective gear do you wear when you are on the groomers? In the park?

I wear a K2 Helmet, some noname "Warp" rollerblading wristguards, kneepads (the kit comes with elbow guards but I don't use them), and Smith goggles.

I have a friend who also wear impact pants and so on...are those necessary? Do you find them hinder you? How many times have they saved your ass?

Thanks!!

At the moment I just wear a helmet and goggles. If I jack up my wrist again I'll prbly start wearing harbinger gloves to help that out, but other than that I don't think I'll wear anything else. Snow is generally soft enough that you don't need to worry about ur knees too much, but personally my view on protective gear is wear a helmet and whatever else makes you feel safe.

Giro Helmet, Dainese Back-Protection and knee pads under pants when hitting rails.

From personal experience I can say the first two are essential to ride safely.
