Protective Clothing Recommendations
Ok, I have proven to myself that my ambition exceeds my skill, and I need to protect myself. I want to buy some elbow and wrist guards, and new helmet. Can the community make some recommendations on quality brands.

the 661 4x4 is a very popular knee/shin armour for unicycling, available in many bike shops and online cycle retailers. Kris Holm also does a unicycle specific one, presumably only available through UDC -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65393 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

How about elbow guards?

The KH grey gloves work great for me. They have a plastic splint on the backside to support the wrist in a fall, and a gel pad in the palm. the wrist support wraps around your wrist and is velcro, so it's easy to adjust. I've had mine for about 6 months; no bad seams, tears, etc. -- ahollow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ahollow's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/13990 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65393 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

I have the KH pulse gloves and love them for riding the big wheel etc. but I would prefer to have a pair of harbinger wrist guards for higher impact stuff like MUni. The KH gloves are very comfortable and have moderate protection, the harbinger gloves are moderately comfortable and have very good protection. You can't really hold a T7 handle wearing the harbingers. -- saskatchewanian The Coker isn't elegant, it's majestic ------------------------------------------------------------------------ saskatchewanian's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/14180 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65393 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

OldDrone wrote: How about elbow guards? That and my hands are what I seem to be hitting the most. good point, 661 2x4s are the elbow version, pretty heavy duty. As for hands, personally i use TSG professinoal wrist guards but will probably swap to KH gloves in due course. -- kington99 Dave - what a thoroughly post-modern subversion of the cycling genre - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kington99's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/9417 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65393 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com

are the Kris Holm shin/knee guards really any better for unicycling than the SixSixOne 4x4's? I'm trying to decide between the two. -- joshben ------------------------------------------------------------------------ joshben's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/15743 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/65393 Posted Via Usenet.com Premium Usenet Newsgroup Services ---------------------------------------------------------- ** SPEED ** RETENTION ** COMPLETION ** ANONYMITY ** ---------------------------------------------------------- http://www.usenet.com
