@Juggernaut I wear a chest protector and padded shorts under my baggies. If you can afford to add them to your collection, I would. As for shoes, I have these 5.10s . I've also worn my freeride 5.10s.
I think she meant if you really think you can afford not to add them to your collection don't bother. What is going back to work on Monday morning worth?
I should have added that I wear all the protective gear and still jacked up my thumb/needed surgery on my hand...so you can't always be protected enough!
Don't over think it just get out there and have fun . Sounds like your well preparedOops: originally I put this in Matty’s Thread.
So as aw all know, @qclabrat and I have been bantering back and forth about what I’ve lovingly referred to as “TheSummerOfPark”.
Bikes are covered (Orbea Rallon and SC Nomad 4 respectively) so the most recent question was (see below) and rather than have the two “Park Nunez” go back and forth (put the z in for @soundz ) maybe it would be better to have the experts chime in.
Going over inventory again, lmk if I missed anything
- full helmet
- leg/arm armor
- spine armor
- neck brace
Do I need chest protection?
What about shoes and ankles?
Thanks in advance.

Probably overkill..... but I’m a big baby, soooooo.
If I have the stones to ride flats (that’s what’s on the bike now) my new 5/10’s will be on my feet. If I chicken out, I’ve got a dilemma.
But ankle protection.... would Some Gform type thing work at all?
does that have the integrated spine protector?
I can deal with some broken bits but a f'd up back or neck isn't an option.
thats how i roll as wellyou guys are making me worried with all this protection, myself and a few of the guys i ride with just fly down the hill with a full face, goggles and knee pads. no additional padding. are we doing it wrong? lol
thats how i roll as well
