i was just wondering what you guys are wearing of protection when your ride downhill?
i dont see so many dh vids where people wear a full body armor.
so what do you think is most important to wear beside a helmet?

i use knee pads, full face, and gloves,

I dont feel the need for full leg pads and i have never hit my shins so hard that i had wished i had shin pads.
