Hi ladies,
My girlfriend's learning to ride and she's taken a couple of good spills, but luckily hasn't done any more than some scrapes and bruises; however, since I want her to have plenty of confidence, I think we need to step it up a notch for safety.
What she wears now:
boots,
knee pads,
over-the-boot riding pants,
jersey,
chest protector,
elbow pads,
gloves,
helmet/goggles
Now that she's learning more, she wants a neck brace and more pads for under her pants/jersey.
1) Does anyone know an advantage of the Leatt brace over the EVS (1/3 the Leatt's price)?
2) As far as women's, padded undershorts, etc., which are the best? She's about 5'6" and 115 pounds.
3) I'm thinking one of those jackets with the built in armor and back protector would be good for her since the elbow pads always move about and drive her nuts. I know A-stars makes a women's-specific model, which might be a good idea since she's got a decent-sized chest (DD/E)... Any suggestions?
Thanks!
