Im not reading the whole thread but knee and shin gaurds. And really you should wear a pair of good motocross type boot also. I was pitched off a farm quad riding through some tall brush once and it fractured my kneecap. Its a painful injury requiring surgery and lengthy healing. And could be prevented by $20 gaurds

Not for the type of trail riding she's going to be doing...





**Same goes from earlier in this thread** you don't need tearoff's for your goggles. Unless you're constantly getting roosted or purposely hitting your FACE on branches n bushes, those are unnecessary too.

I didn't say they were necessary, I said they would prolong the life of the goggles.

Mud is very sticky and very scratchy.

If you had the choice of with or without, why you you choose without?

No because if you buy quality goggles, like over $20 spent, they should be coming with fairly scratch resistant lenses.

I've ridden countless times in all my gear, and the only time I ever needed a second pair of goggles was actually when the liner that touches my face wore out. Even when racing, I never gotten scratches that "ruin" goggles. Certainly not enough for me to need another pair anyway.

LOL it sounds like you are a victim of circumstance. If you can't see where you are going, you probably should do yourself the favor of NOT riding there. People have still injured their necks wearing $700 Leatt braces, yet that money spent didn't solve shit.
