Yes. The only time I don’t always wear them is riding a mile of singletrack to the swimming hole, although sometimes I wear them there too.
And about once a year, I do a ride on easy, green level trail, with very few rocks, at 90F and 90% humidity, and wear just Lycra and a helmet.
The rest of the time, I wear them. They don’t bother me, sweat is minimal, and the rest of me is sweaty anyway. I don’t fall very often, but figure why not wear them.
