What do you guys use for protective gear?

[turbowagon]

Looking at getting a set of mx boots, already have a helmet, gloves, goggles. I'm debating getting a chest protector, padded shirt/pants as well. But I was curious what people are using just for messing around on the trails.

Thinking of heading to an MX track and they specify full gear, so....

I use

pants, jersey, boots, gloves, goggles, chest protector, leatt neck brace

and you will also need a tether killswitch for your quad and nerf bars

Nerf bar is waiting for install. As far as boots go, I was looking at these:

Shift 09 Combat Boots Size 10 Black | Rocky Mountain ATV/MC

I'm curious if MX boots will work for riding an ATV, or if I need to get ATV specific boots. I guess ATV boots have grippier soles.

I was using construction boots, but I really don't wanna break something if I take a digger.

Yea I'll order a tether kill switch too, I think the track says I need that and nerf bars.

 

[tjsdaname]

yes... MX boots are what you want... I have never heard of atv boots before any type of boots will work

Thanks guys I picked up a set of Scott goggles to go with my helmet, Shift "combat" boots, and I got a Pro Design kill switch from Rocky Mountain. Used their promo code and got $20 off my next purchase which is nice.

I'm gonna save up and do a little more research then get a chest protector and knee guards/braces.

That Tekvest looks really cool, but its a bit pricy. I'm thinking if I'm able to hit the MX track once a month, some decent gear will be in order, and some mechanical upgrades. I don't have any plans of organized racing though, but I'm thinking knees, back, chest protection will be important just for getting on the track with a bunch of other quads.

I think I should be able to find a decent deal on pants/jerseys. Hopefully heading to Lewiston Maine at the All Wheels Offroad park in a couple weeks so at least I have the basics.

 

[REEDracing94]

alot of time rocky mountain has deals on pants for $30(normally msr which are nice) and $15 jerseys

fox gloves, helmet, snowboard goggles lol, fox chest protector, fox pants and steel toe boots
