Just wondering how much protection you use when your riding. If its just a casual ride or racing.

    Just a helmet... and i guess you could class gloves in there to.

    Catlike Kompact helmet and 661 gloves.

    Head, hands, eyes.

    I use a Giro Encinal helmet, a selection of three sets of gloves (winter, summer, fingerless), and either Adidas glasses with interchangeable lenses or Rudy Project (very coooool)!

    Helmet, Gloves and occasionally some knee/elbow protection. Don't bother with pads but use some strapping on a harder trail or in a race to protect from grazing.

    If I can find a cheap set of glasses I'll get them - fed up of mud getting me in the eye!
