Mountain Bike Body Armour

Do I need mtb body armour?

We wear gear like this to help us keep doing the sport we love, so we think wearing mountain bike protective gear makes plenty of sense. Full-body armour mountain bike gear (like what you would see in downhill racing) might not be necessary, depending on the type of riding you do. Lightweight mountain bike body armour can play a valuable role in protecting vulnerable parts of the body. However, just remember that nothing makes us indestructible. Wearing cycling body armour might help reduce injuries, but it won’t render you untouchable.

Do you wear mtb armour under jerseys when cycling?

You should wear mtb protection gear however you want, be it under or over a cycling jersey. There will be riders on either side of the fence but we figure as long as you are wearing mtb safety gear, that’s the most important thing.
