MTB Protections

When pedaling with your mountain bike, you face terrain full of potholes, obstacles and slippery areas. On these terrains it is very easy to fall and get hurt if you do not wear the proper MTB protections. But what are the protections to wear? If you practice disciplines related to MTB, in addition to the helmet you must also wear other protective accessories for a peaceful and safe ride. MTB gloves: the hands are a part of the body particularly exposed to bruises, scratches and grazes. When you fall you try to "parry" the blow with your hands which must therefore be adequately protected. The gloves improve the grip of the hand on the handlebar and reduce the vibrations coming from the wheel. In summer it is good to wear "fingerless" models while in winter it is good to wear "long finger" models to avoid cooling the hands and have greater grip. MTB elbow pads: the elbow pads have the task of protecting the elbow from branches and obstacles and, in the event of a collision, they must absorb the blow. It is essential that the elbow pad is rigid in the right places while leaving complete freedom of movement for those who pedal. MTB knee pads: the knees are a very delicate part of the body and, therefore, must be adequately protected. The knee pads must be rigid but must also allow complete freedom of movement. There are different models of knee pads depending on the discipline: those for enduro and all mountain are short, soft and guarantee maximum freedom of movement, those for downhill and freeride, on the other hand, are longer since they must also protect the shins. MTB shin guards: necessary if you want to also protect the front of the leg. MTB back protector and bib: this type of protections are used in gravity disciplines where, due to the high speed and the slopes, the possibility of falling and getting back injuries is not so rare. For greater safety and protection there are also MTB bibs to be worn on the front. Some jackets have a back protector, bib and integrated arm protectors. The protections are generally made of d3o soft touch material that hardens instantly in the event of impact.
