Anyone know where i can get reasonably priced armoured pants? and knee pads?

First Boarding holiday and im looking to protect my limbs!

Go to a DIY shop & buy builders kneepads.

Dunno about a cheap place for pants tho, you can get shorts that go under ski pants that are OK.

Remember wrist guards too - theres new ones that use kevlar instead of steel way better (stell ones have a tendancy to make you just break something further up).

I've never bothered with anything apart from the wrist guards but knee pads and the shorts are well worth it for the first few days.

Snow & Rock, not the cheapest but you pay for what you are getting.
