Rollerski poles & protective gear
I would add only that from my inline crashes, 2 layers of lycra might just be enough to literally save your skin... In a fall, the outer layer shreds on the contact patch, but most of the inner layer remains intact. I typically wear old cycling shorts over compression shorts or Body Armour boxer briefs. ED3 I'll dress similarly by always wearing a T shirt under my cycling jersey, no matter how blazing hot it is. Cloth sliding on cloth is better than cloth on skin. jw milwaukee |

Rollerski poles & protective gear
I'll dress similarly by always wearing a T shirt under my cycling jersey, no matter how blazing hot it is. Cloth sliding on cloth is better than cloth on skin. How often do you crash? Often enough that dicomfort in hot weather is worth this "protection"? JT Not that often, but once 'over the bars' at 30 mph, then sliding on my back was a lesson learned. I have several friends who do this also. jw |

Rollerski poles & protective gear
My first time out on roller skis I hit a crack and went over sideways, hitting my hip hard on the asphalt. Hurt for a couple of weeks. I bought a roller-hockey girdle. I have only fallen once since, and hit my elbow pad. Whats a roller-hockey girdle? My first outing on new Marwe classics was a country tour. On a fast dropping bend I lost it and faced with a drop onto a boulder strewn river bed I sat, as on snow. I smacked my tailbone on the road surface, agonising pain for months. Later I did the same, sitting on frozen chunks of ice on the track. Now two decades later I have almost daily pain in the sacro illiac joint on both sides as a result of that upward punch straining the joints between spine and hips. I've often considered trying a paddedbuttgirdle in some form (away from publicview of course). Mike |
