how many of you wear protective clothing such as impact shorts and back protectors. personally I've only worn a back protector once and i found it uncomfortable and restricting but I'm a big fan of impact shorts. i no longer come home from rail sessions with big peachy bruises on my hips and legs so i always wear them when i can. just thinking because I'm about to go out to canada to do a season and wouldn't mind investing in both. any particular brands or specific ones to look out for. seen this d30 technology as well which is sick. pretty expensive though

Check out DemonSnow. i wear both shorts and a long sleeve, very very comfy, and helpful. after I messed my back up, I almost had to. i got calcium chunks floating around in my lower back from falling on a corrugated pipe before i got them. They come in handy and definitely give me a more confidence.

I never wear them but I don't fall that much. I usually don't do things that i think i might fall on. I have the worlds slowest progression but I ski a ton so it evens out.

thinking about wearing a mouthguard for park this year. I just got my braces of and any help to prevent a concussion is always great.

any other NSers do this?
