I just wear elbow pads from Fox and 661 4x4 leg pads. Not full body armor!!! They bundle up real nice and strap onto my camelbak and I don't even know they are there when I"m not wearing them.

I got this stuff last year when I was wrecking a lot. It's nive to have them for when I want to try something... just for a bit of confidence. An example might be this one nasty switchback that's full of gravel and off camber. I have a lot more confidence to try it over and over again with armor. Then take it off later!!
