As a side note, I've gotten my dad into dirtbiking for the first time at 65.
He has padded shorts, and padding pants, and a padded shirt. He then wears my track leathers, even though he's on dirt. He's fallen a few times and he agrees you feel like superman.
He's started joking that if he makes it to 75, he's going to start wearing the padded shorts and shirt as regular daily wear.
- klipklop 8mo agoI have always thought once I get to a certain age I might just start wearing a helmet...everywhere when standing. It will look silly, but maybe it's not such a bad idea.
- tempsaasexample 8mo agoPadded shorts with hip protection arent really visible in clothes. Wearing a helmet would make you look pretty crazy hah. But helmets are also designed to deal with impacts stronger than just falling over. For falls, people might do ok with just padded hats that were designed for just falls.
