Hey everybody,
So I know helmets and protective gear don't look cool... but I wear them. I wear a helmet and wrist gaurds under my gloves, I use a football girdle that protects my tailbone, hip bones, and knees. My fear of injury outweighs my desire to be fashionable on the mountain- although I don't wear any protective gear that's visible on the outside besides my helmet.
What protective gear do you guys wear? I was chatting with a friend about it and his impression was that very few skiboarders wear protective gear at all. With the influx of injuries this past year, I would hope we'd look into it.
I wonder if Greco would be interested in putting some protective gear under the "protection" portion of his site. I know we can buy protective gear on other sites- but I'd prefer keeping money in the "family." Keep SBOL funded instead of other snowboard and ski sites (they already have a lot of people buying from them)
Just curious as to your thoughts on the matter. I saw that thread about injuries and it just reinforced my concerns.
