A group shot of us!
is there any brand of shinguards that does make padding/protection on your calf…cause thats where I have the most cuts anyways.
Here’s a pic I took of Eyal (Rabbi Rock) during my last trip down the Nature Trail sometime last year. This is a great Muni run.

Yep that’s a good representation of it! HEy JL, I just got back from our beach ride, and clocked 25.8 miles! Wooooot! Thanks for the fun ride!
The foam will cushion your calf (against bruises) but it might not protect you from pedal bites. The pins will tear through that foam… you’ll need a piece of tough fabric such as ripstop or Denier nylon to prevent tears.
The velcro method is a great idea… to give you an option on hot days.
So you’re saying you prefer the comfort of being confined to a wheelchair?
Keep wearing your helmets and pads, kiddies!
There [THREAD=52205]are[/THREAD] many threads on this topic (have you tried the search feature?), but to get you started, check out the KH Percussion leg armor.
I thought it would be just as easy to ask in a topic where people are already talking about it a little. 
didn’t know it was a crime
I was planning on getting some elbow guards, since I’ve bruised/scraped up my forarms several times. Then yesterday while riding in Anadale, hit a root, the uni stopped and I didn’t then did a superman/roll and hit my shoulder on a rock. Now, I’m thinking about getting a full jacket, like one of those Pressure Suites
Whoa man That looks awesome! I want one!!! Then I can go back to G-Spot (Umm, the trail haha!) and go for it! Looks like it woukld be pretty hot though.
I haven’t thuroghly looked at the specks, but I think the biggest difference as you go up in price, is the cooler it is. But $230 is a lot of dough, even $120 is kind of a lot. But even the expensive one is a LOT cheaper than a hospital visit:o
Good point! 
I just don’t want to look like the Michelin man on the trails haha!
In some MTB vids I’ve seen you have to look pretty carefully to tell that they are wearing a protection jacket. IMO worst case scenario it’ll look like you have verry broad shoulders 
Missed deadline
Doesn’t look too bulky to me.
since I broke my Achille’s tendon with my saddle handle, I ALWAYS wear back protection with my 661. they are just are a pair of kick-boxing protections that fit very well (they have velcro straps that fit). Moreover they are bright red
edit: for sure I look like robocop … but I don’t care

It dawned on me that maybe my 2x2 661 elbow/forearm guards might fit my calf, so I tried it. Fits perfect! I only wish I had another pair because I use them on my arms for MUni all the time. Btw, my 661 4x4 knee/shin guards fit right over these with no problem.
