I wear 661 2x4 forearm/elbow guards. Also 4x4s, dakine under-glove wrist
guards, full fingered gloves, padded loose-fit cycling shorts,
above-ankle hiking boots, and helmet. A pain to put it all on, but I'd
rather be safe than sorry! 😄

I wear Roach elbow and forearm armor, and Raceface knee and shin armor,
with a helmet made by Specialized Cycles called the Skillet(great name
for a helmet if you ask me....but it works well), I also wear 661 ankle
guards. it sucks to put it on everytime, but it keeps me protected and
boosts my confidence.....

I wear the 2x4s when riding muni on rocky terrain, where an injury could
be a serious problem (i.e on a remote mountain). They don't seem to
interfer and if you;re going to get thrown down on the rocks alot
they're very useful.

nope. my impacts are always to my knees and wrists. Only like once or
twice have I scraped my arms, and scrapes I can definitely deal with.
Unless I plan on getting pedal bites on my arms, I see no real point.

I wear leg armor, but none for my arms. I have been thinking about
elbow pads though. When I muni, I often smash into trees with my arms.
And like someone else said above, if it boosts your confidence level,
then it's helping.

when i first started i bought some lizard skin arm pads for $3. I wore
them until i learned to ride, then never used them again. I ride
street/trials and i never scraped my elbow that bad. However i wear
shin knee pads

Having all this stuff on also boosts my confidence so I'm more ikely to

I own a pair of 2x4s but very rarely bother putting them on. They rate
as my least useful form of protection (I use helmet, gloves, ankle
wraps and leg armour). Arm armour is useful as a confidence booster
when attempting stuff I know is very dangerous and probably beyond my
capabilities.

In general I find arm injury is *far* less likely than leg injury. My
leg armour probably saves me at least once a ride whereas I have had
only one occasion where I wish I had been wearing arm armour.

My one freak arm accident was on a steep hill while riding offroad. I
catapulted off the uni and then it landed on top of my arm, with my
snafu pedals raking large holes in my arm. I'm not sure whether arm
armour would have saved my as the pins connected on the inside of the
arm where there is precious little padding on my 2x4s. I bear the
scars to this day.

i wear arm armor when i know im going to crash a lot on rocky terrain,
like resort riding. I also wear it when ski season gets closer, because
an elbow, wrist or shoulder injury would end my season before it
started

Shinguards are the most important, then helmets. I don't wear arm armor,
gloves sometimes though. I don't land on my arms too often, but I do
land on my hands. I think they would just get in the way.

Or this - $0.02
Or else be accused of overpricing your goods.

I never wear arm armour, mostly because I don't have any. But even if I
did I probably still wouldn't wear it. I only occasionally scrape my
elbows and it probably heels faster than it would take to put all the
armour on.

Just my $2. Hehe.

I know why Tomsey is so good at backs and why Shaun owns at normal

It has to do with the gravitational pull. Like how the toilet flushes
in the opposite direction down there. Well its easier down there to
flip backwards then forwards

I do muni all the time and have no need for arm armor. I have not once
scraped my elbows doing muni, then again I have never hit my head and
always where a helmet. I just feel that they would get really hot when
they aren't nessacary.

I wear full fingered gloves, that are really light and breathable but
have padding on the palm area, 661's leg armor and an xc mtb helmet.

I should probably add that the main reason i wear arm protection on
rocky terrain is for fear of smashing my elbow, leaving me with a
possibly life-long delilitating problem. Medical science really isn't
good at fixing joints all that well.
