Opinions about protective gear wanted
I'm looking for protective gear and reviews. Mainly knee/shin
and elbow/forearm. Specifically, I'm wondering about these two. Fox Racing Raptor knee/shin guards SIXSIXONE Ricochet knee/shin guards The Raptor is more expensive, is it much better? During a fall, does the top of the kneecap joint tend to catch on things? Seems to me that might be more of a problem with the Ricochet. Other knee/shin and elbow/forearm guard suggestions and review sites would be appreciated. Thank you. |

What type of riding will you be doing? DH? Jumping off four story buildings? -- o-o-o-o Ride-A-Lot o-o-o-o www.schnauzers.ws |
