I have learned that the older I get, the more gear I want/need to wear.. I ride with helmet, gloves, chest/back/rib protector, pants, knee guards, boots, elbow pads, and hip pads. Thinking of adding the neck brace soon. It’s just too risky without the gear.. I took a really bad crash last fall.. first time I EVER crashed in 30 years of riding, ( many fall overs, etc,. But never a hard “crash”.. ). I was extremely lucky I didn’t break anything but got severely bruised on my upper back leg. I can’t imagine how bad it would have been if I didn’t have all those pads on….
