After a little bit of time on the lanes I realised some tweaked were needed for my kit. First thing was to get some proper offroad boots. I got some great Tech 3's. Very sturdy and gives much more confidence on the trails. Interesting trying to walk in them though lol.
Knee protection has been swapped from hard jointed platic to knox softer armour. No longer clashes with boots and at £30 quite affordable.
Outer clothes. Picked up some MX gear for £90. Padding, reinforcing and space in all the right places. Very comfy for summer riding over the top of my mesh body armour suit. For the forthcomming winter Im looking at maybe RST Enduro jacket and trousers or good old British Army gortex kit big enough to wear the armour underneath. Im broke so guess im going to go army.
New bike grips are going on in a couple of days. Im out on Wednesday to ride in Surrey so want it all sorted by then.
