Nice lid

Ok so suggestions for budget knee guards? I will probably use the fox ones here as our DH trails in JHB are short and I'm sure they wont stop my blood flow to much over short distances

[capediver]

Anyone had experience with G Form knee pads?

[Murray_Lotus7]

I have got the elbow guards.

 

They feel they same as wearing arm warmers. They are very flexible and it doesn't feel like you are wearing elbow guards.

 

l have had a small fall with them on, seemed to protect the elbow. They were worn under a motor cross jersey.

They don't look very sturdy to me. maybe if u wear them under pants.

They made from that PORON, very comfortable and get hard on impact...(now why does that sound so wrong!?) some good reviews on P Bike and B Radar.....not pure DH but work well if you pedal (that's what you always screaming at me, isn't it?) Edited September 13, 2013 by capediver

I have multiple lids ; fullface , AM and XC . One of my soft spots , If I see a helmet and like it enough I'll buy it - the same goes for gloves or shirts .

[Sanderis]

Looks bulky but comfy enough for downhill .

Just asking, is it better to buy mountain bike specific FF helmets or can you drop the cash on a mx lid?

Is weight the only difference? (mtb one being lighter?)

No, think MX lid is over kill and much more heavy.

 

My MTB FF is under 1kg, 2/3 of a lightweigt MX helmet. pretty big diff to your MX, and less padding and narrower, I think

[braailegend]

Also this one:

 

Mx helmets are made for high speed motocross racing and therefore are designed to protect the head from high speed crashes. To do this they use harder/denser internals which dont absorb much impact at slower speeds so wont offer tonnes of protection at low speed crashes.

 

MTB helmets use the softer/less dense internals that protect really well at slower speeds but offer a lot less protection at really high speeds

and MTB FF helmets tend to have more vents! tried jumping in my old MX lid once (hot, sweaty horror.......)

And MX helmets on bicycles make you look like Mr Mackey!

That's the main reason just to get a MTB full face!

Isnt it kinda the same than riding your bicycle along the road with a FF?

(Commuting to work along pavements with a FF to be exact..)
