I think it is time to give myself a little extra protection. Getting better in general about falling down and have been wearing some hip-padded shorts, but today's nothing-special fall involve a very painful hit on the outside of my knee. I noticed that most of the people riding the trails where we went were wearing shin and arm guards. So what have any of you found to be comfortable and protect well? I have short legs, but not skinny thighs I'm thinking that if I can feel a little more protected if I do fall, I may be able to develop more confidence on the rough stuff.
