I went and bought myself some protective gear after I had a bit of a crash of my own (detailed here, thankfully wasn’t hurt too bad). Got a good helmet with Mips, some Fox Dirtpaw gloves, Kris Holm knee/shin pads, and some elbow pads. I rode with the whole set until I regained some of my confidence in riding. Now I mostly ride with just a helmet and gloves, though the rest of the kit comes in handy when the occasion calls for it.
