Just thought i’d suss out what protection you all wear while uni’ing, and what you do to make it more ‘comfortable’ (the latter is mainly aimed at males!!)
I wear helmet, soccer shin guards, and my newest addition is bike shorts 
661 shin guards.
They are comfy enough as is, and I never notice how hot they get because I am riding, and the last thing I want to think of is “Hmm, my legs are hot” lol.
661 4x4 shinguards, KH gloves and a skater helmet.
I don’t wear bike shorts, although wouldn’t mind trying.
What are these 661 shinnies you speak of???
Oh, my helmet is a skater one too.
I wear 661 4X4s for MUni and i usually wear bike gloves, I am getting KH wrist wrap gloves when that Nimbus finally arrives. I wear bike shorts when riding longer than a few kms
I wore soccer shin-pads when i was learning.
Here.
I like skater helmets because they seem to cover a bigger area and look nicer. The only problem, they are pretty hot, but I got used to that fairly quickly.
Those pads are great! i was after some that cover my knee aswell but couldnt find any down my small corner of the world:(
Yep, i feel safe in my skater helmet, i havent really found it hot as i used to skateboard quite a lot so its just ‘normal’ for me, although come to think of it it is a bit hotter than my road riding helmet!
They are great, but as Jerrick said they can get a bit hot, especially in the summer. But then again, down here, you’d have to wear a refrigerator if you didn’t want to get hot in the summer. I don’t think I’ll be able to wear my helmet, though.
And I’m sure you could order 661s from the Aussie UDC.
Edit: KH percussion armour - that’s what I’m getting next.
661 4x4.
trojans
661 shin guards, fingerless gloves and a helmet.
Oh cycling shorts too usually, if those count as protection…
Heh heh
661 Veggie Wraps - MMmmm Veggie Wraps 
They get pretty hot, but I don’t notice until I’m done riding. I have gloves but I rarely wear them.
661 4x4’s and sometimes my 661 gloves if my hands are sore from riding frequently, or if its cold. Helmets if it’s big.
Call me a wimp (or under the control of my parents) but I wear:
Protec Helmet
Fox Racing Gloves
661’s
Ankle Guards (only because my cranks have huge nubs)
Bike Shorts
My speawr and magic hewmut awre all the pwotection I need.
biking gloves
KH leg armour
wrist guards.
Also, bike shorts, but I never thought of that as “protection.”
No helmet. This is for road.
cycling helmet
gloves (with the fingers cut)
wrist guards
knee pads
and most of the time cycling shorts in addition to pants… especially for longer rides.
It takes me awhile to get prepared, but some of the few times I decided not to wear this, I was sorry. I never realized that a helmet can spare you from low hanging branches. Safety equipment makes a good impression to young kids as well as shows motorists that I am not a clown on “their” road.
KH leg armor
Magnum XL
I swear by durex ultra safe. Ultimate protection
