richt Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 I use the Jitsie Dynamic knee/shin guards and tested them for real. So good I invested in the elbow guards aswell. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcman56 Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 In the US most everyone wears knee/ shin guards mostly of the MX type. I don't find them confining. I once cracked the hard plastic on the outside of the knee guard so am certain it saved me from a nasty injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richt Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 (edited) Did you get the Jitsie ones? When they warm and mould themselves to you they will soften up and you hardly know they're there. I have landed on rocks and they worked brilliantly.

richt Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I recommend getting a helmet with the most ventilation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richt Posted October 3, 2021 Report Share Posted October 3, 2021 I've had an Airoh for a few years and recently got another while it was on offer. There are a few more to choose from now more manufacturers are making similar designs like Mots and Hebo. The shape of the Airoh fits me a bit better.
