uh....how did I miss that??

Dude...screw gloves, shorts, socks, bindings, glasses, gear....the ONLY...and I mean ONLY important part of your gear is your helmet.

I'm still on earth because of a helmet on more than ONE occasion.

I've retired more helmets than most people have probably bought in their lifetime for all the members of their family.

(and, for the record, it's currently 13 helmets over 24 years)

There is my second response, I wear a helmet every time I ride. I was just describing how important my gloves are for ME when I ride. I understand completely what happens when a unprotected skull hits pavement. maybe I should have said that my gloves were AS important as my helmet.
