Hi

If got a KDX which I enjoy messing with, but as I have low levels of skill and am accident prone, I've decided to get better protection than my adventure kit, but know nothing about MX or enduro type protection.

Also, as I was on a few months lockdown due to a back op (3 vertebrata fused) and then we had Covid-19 lockdown,  being self employed has made money scarce.


So I'm looking for reasonable quality without breaking the empty bank.

  • Keeping this in mind, what are essential?
  •               Boots, chest protector, elbow and knee guards?
  • are there different sizes for chest protector? or are they just adult?
  • what brands should I stay away from? and why? (I'd rather save for a few months to get the right thing than something that won't protect me, yet I need it ASAP)
  • what online shops are the best
  • are excellent second hand units out there? or will they be well used by the time the guys sell them?
  • do you have brand new stuff you not using and want to donate? :peepwall:
