Now as our riding is getting a little more interesting it's now come to invest in some protection. Not only are these pads good looking they are going to protect me from serious woundage!! Both the 2008 3x knee & elbow pads feature:-

Hard plate material: Polypropylene

Soft padding material: Perforated polyethylene Composite protectors

Soft paddings Homologation CE EN 1621.1 Ultra-ventilated soft padding

Closing/Adjusting system: 3 adjustable straps

 The 2008 3x elbow pads are of the same design and like the knee pads & are super comfortable, fit under your DH jersey and do not cause my limbs to boil over when wearing them. The Elbow pads were voted most wanted by MBUK so can't be a bad thing!

Super lightweight and super strong skate style helmet or sometimes known as piss pots,these come in plain or graphic design Arnie, Jase and Beany have been using the for a while now and it was time for me to join them...

Slip on a pair of SixSixOne's MTX Gloves and your hands will thank you. The tough, double layered synthetic leather palms soak up trail vibrations and protect you in a crash.

Plus, the biofoam padding over the knuckles and the molded TPR armor gives you added protection during "unscheduled landings."
