I've got Brand-X body armour which is an almost must buy £60 (doesn't protect wrists though. I'm not sure if Brand-X do lower Armour but if they do buy it. It'll be very cheap and great quality.

Race gear as in pants and race top isn't that important as they don't tend to offer that much protection in themselves.

I use brand-X body Armour, No Fear Optimal MX Helmet, No Fear race jersey, Dixon Freestyle MX pants (freestyle as I hate the elasticated ankles on race pants so these are straight leg like BITD), Fox Gloves and VANS.

Fox pants, with A'me braces, buy them too big in the waist and they fit in the leg if you go for MX ones. But to be honist I race in jeans most of the time, don't like looking too disco at regionals.

Fox gloves, defo thermal fox gloves for the winter.

My lucky Hawks shirt for all occasions.

Vans Rowleys at the moment.

New TLD SE lid for Bournemouth this weekend, scratch it before the Brits and get that inevertible new lid crash out of the way.
