What protection to wear for Enduro MTB | CRC |

[@lachlan_bakewell]

As someone who has just recovered from a high speed crash, protective gear is cheaper then medical bills. Also the time away from your favorite sports and Hobbies is just not worth the risk. Get light weight body armor that's comfortable because that's better than having super protective body armor that you won't wear due to bulk.

[@Lancers262]

Thanks to advocating safety advice. I just got into cycling for commuting across the city. I find it very odd that there are no protection options for road cyclists except for the usual helmet. I had to look into MTB protection in the chance that a car crash into me.

@@Lancers262 body protection is not enough "aero" for aero fanatics it seems - you have many risks but one health - downhill or road

[@dudeonbike800]

@@petrmatousek7422 that isn't it, Petr. You simply cannot exert yourself physically with thick, protective clothing on. Motorcyclists are always amazed to see cyclists flying down descents with "nothing on." Problem is, you cannot pedal to the top with leathers on! The pros wear lycra because it allows for proper cooling when hot, and enough thermal protection when temps drop. When I ride in the rain, just adding a one-layer waterproof outer shell can cause enough heat build up to make riding uncomfortable. You sweat from within and end up just as wet. The person who can invent road-rash resistant clothing that doesn't overheat will be a billionaire. But that's almost impossible.

[@karimayoubi74]

Even small falls can do a lot of damage if you get tangled up in your bike, lose your front wheel and go down hard on your knees & arms, or mangle your shin on your pedal. Couldn't imagine riding without full body coverage. Doesn't have to be expensive gear - I'm covered from neck to ankles for just over £100.

[@zaiikgo3377]

what gear have you got that you can get full body for £100?

[@bonedale]

where is the collar bone protector? Probably the single most common injury that sidelines us. I still don't think there is good tech for this yet. Side and rear shoulder impacts blow out collar bone and I wish we had an option that was light weight and low profile that provided an upper-body brace system and pad designed to save the collar bone.

[@mariopistoia7828]

there are some motocross chest protector which includes also the shoulder protector, for example from alpinestar

[@shooter7a]

Collar bones are usually broken in compression. Not much you can do to stop it if you fall onto a shoulder.

[@dudeonbike800]

Get yourself in the weight room! Clavicle breaks cannot be 100% avoided, but if you do some upper body work, you can reduce incidence. Add to that a judo class so you can learn to fall and not slam. But no guarantees. Clavicles heal, brains and broken spinal cords don't. Thus the neck brace.

[@chadb2077]

I wear a helmet and sometimes gloves... Now to send this video to my Mother😂

[@Jojo-ki9xt]

Before I got gloves I crashed and now I have 3 scars on my hand... My knees r full of wounds all the time xD Just got the poc vpd 2.0 so hopfoly not anymore But I've crashed like 15 times and my helmet never touched the ground So I would recommend spending more money on pads and gloves ALWAYS WEAR A HELMET Edit: yeah nvm about a month ago I fell and my helmet saved me from going to the hospital

[@williamdistasio9358]

Me too. I crashed SO HARD last season and my helmet didn't even get dusty! Lol But holy shit did my side get fucked up!!!

the backtrack in the edit had me wheezing 😂 (not the crash part though i’m sorry to hear that)

[@brauliovara]

Safety is first

[@comix4153]

I use full faces, full finger gloves, goggles, knee pads, shorts, long sleeve shirt, and clipless shoes usually the 510 and i also use the fox raceframe body protection

[@martinschneider587]

I think that neckbraces should be worn as well. Especially, enduro and dh racer should consider to wear them.

[@julianrossi8460]

I just looooove endoorow 0:00

[@shooter7a]

4:52 Oh...but I DO plan to crash!

[@coolplay3r632]

Neck brace is important

[@russkaraus1513]

what about hip protection in shorts?

[@icedoutgames4051]

Hi thanks for the video as I was wondering what i actually need. Also is a mtb full face helmet the same as ones used for dirt bikes? I really find full face mtb ones which is confusing me a bit.

[@cyclingstunts9887]

Hey crc when would the fox dropframe in black large be in stock again

[@hle6391]

buy the Dropframe Pro if you haven´t already. Comes with MIPS. though, the helmet itself looks big and burly. There are prettier helmets out there

[@Twitch0331]

Love my 661 gear. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@henrietta1694]

Hi. Are there specific body armor required for professional races?

[@chainreactioncycles]

What protection do you wear on your rides? Let us know below!

[@charliematthews7475]

not a lot really! Also i know that the vitus nucleus 27.5 just came back in stock today but i missed it so when would it be back in stock? Thanks!

[@charliematthews7475]

Of course a helmet!

[@yordyiam]

Always my Bell 4forty, gloves, Merino base layer, sunglasses and, of course, my beloved 5-10s!

[@rumplestiltskin1350]

Depends what your riding. Generally not much if on the canal or urban, full power ranger when on the big stuff like fort bill as its mandatory to ride the trail

[@benasquith26]

Helmet gloves and knee pads

[@georgepoungias5919]

The second most important protection gear was not mentioned, and this is a kneck brace.

[@prgrier1]

I suppose someone thought to mention, ANKLE padding

[@afetarslani7426]

Nice endeeewro outfit

[@eddiel9846]

Hey, do you know if any vitus sentier 27 vr's will be in stock?

[@tomihenrik4387]

yes

[@Chris-de2qc]

Why not

[@СлаваСлава-з4х]

After about 3 years the last Keurig stopped working kzbin.infoUgkxBrV-RbF5Nk0Rlt9i15aao-YMzqzTG8Vf initially was able to unblock, however eventually we couldn't fix. That one was a replacement unit sent by the manufacturer after we had problems with our very first Keurig. This works fine (lol, at least for now) however I didn't realize the water reservoir was so much smaller than our prior unit. With 2 people having one or two cups of coffee each morning, it seems like I'm refilling it daily. Otherwise just happy to have the convenience of pod coffee vs. making a morning pot.

[@julianrossi8460]

[@adrian_veidt]

I need collarbone protection >.

[@adkmtb5046]

What goggles can you fit over your glasses?

[@johnthiasongcoy2185]

100% Accuri OTG goggles

[@julianw5692]

But it is all so expensive.

[@benasquith26]

“You can’t put a price on safety” but for me being only 15 my paper round struggles to fund this, I need a new open face after some hard crashes and inshould probably get a full face but it’s just too much money

[@1911Zoey]

Which one is more expensive tho? A trip to the hospital or a set of LEATT protection gear?

[@petesahad3028]

Not even the subtitles understand everything😅

[@Justmyopinionlol]

I race enduro and use a yamaha motorcyle for commuting and motorcycle gears are now just as light but way cheaper. Makes no sense who are buying these bicycle gears, mostly fat old guys probably. Shop used motorcycle gears for the best deal on body armor for mtb.

Can't the ginger calm his hand movements?

[@elliottstreet7687]

[@williamdistasio9358]

Great, so by the time you've managed to get a loan from the bank for that $6000 mtb, you need a second loan for body protection? Jesus this sports expensive as @$#&

[@piciu256]

It's really not, not counting road trips to bike parks etc. you only really need to buy the gear once (granted it's not cheap, but not super expensive) look how much any king of motorsport hobby costs, and that's without even getting into racing, even on amateur level, that shit is so expensive, you don't even have a chance to start unless you have a sponsor or rich parents.
