Hi all,

Had a moment the other day when i was going faster then i thought i was. Looked back after the ride a hit a speed i don't usually travel at on a road that wasn't super familiar with.

No issues, but had me thinking i could easily of had an accident traveling over 20mph and has made me rethink my safety gear (just wearing a bmx helmet atm).

I guess my question boils down to. Do armoured clothing e.i motorcycle kit, cover all the bases? Or do people also add extra gear.

If i had a helmet, padded/armour shirt/top and some wrist guards. Is that the same or better than buying individual pads like knee pads elbow pets etc?

Was hoping for something simple and less fuss. Also i think the aesthetics look a bit nicer than having a bunch of individual pads strapped on.
