When you ride hard (like we do!), sometimes those "ouch" moments are unavoidable... Injuries are never fun, and being deep in the backcountry can make it even more serious. We personally consider appropriate padding / armor an absolute must-have for snowbiking dirtbiking etc, and we recommend you do too - "Dress for the crash, not the ride!"
We've tried a handful of different styles and brands, and the Leatt lineup is our top pick across the board. Each of the Airfit upper body armor, the Impact pants and shorts, and the Dual Axis and 3.0 EXT knee+shin guards provide a great balance of being light and comfortable enough to wear under your suit and forget they're even there, yet robust enough and with excellent coverage so that they can take hits.
