Armour Advice

Hey guys,
Just after some opinions more than anything. Off to Whistler in Sept so looking at all new stuff I can buy now I have a really good excuse lol
I have the tendency to be over confident and bail far to often, now I'm thinking at Whistler my bails will be noticeably faster and bigger =D
How mad do I go on Body armour?
Shin Knees elbows are my norm on steep stuff (Yes a helmet as well lol )
Do I look at pressure suits maybe and what about back guards?
Thoughts and opinions welcome.

Brand X? £59 for a full safety jacket - even if you wreck it, it's better than a trip to A&E!! Or being eaten by a bear!!0

I reckon a Dainese impact jacket (elbow-less as you've said already got those pads) with the spine protection http://www.teamskene.com/index.php?page ... t&Itemid=5
and maybe a Leatt neck brace if you wanna be ultra protected?0 -

You got a full face helmet?
If not, then may be worth while investing!!
Especially in Whistler. You could always throw it at the bears!! Boo-yah mofo
Sick to the power of rad
Fix it 'till it's broke0 -
I'd definately be more worried about the bears!0
