So most here are wearing helmets. But who here wears body protections?
This question is "inspired" by obastable's fight with trees and fences, which reminded me of my own epic battle against a tree trunk last season that put me on the sideline for several weeks... :(
When I downhill mountain bike, I (sometimes) wear a crash suit (when it's cool enough to bear to wear it). I can envision wearing something similar for skiing and it wouldn't bother me. Like helmet, it's not an absolute protection. But since we're wearing tons of stuff just to keep warm anyway, what's one extra layer of foam?
So, who else wear back protector or other armor? What's the experience?
