Last winter I banged my knee up pretty good and had to end my season earlier than anticipated and with my 30th birthday not too far around the corner I figured I should start to look into protecting myself a little more. What are people using when going into the back country as far as knee, elbow or shoulder protection. Are the higher end knee braces worth the price or will a pair of knee pads from the hardware store be enough for you. I have seen pads that mount directly to the snowmobile as well but figured they would obviously only work if you hit in those specific spots with no protection if ejected from the vehicle.
