Nice article. I am also re-evaluating my stance on wearing whatever protective gear I feel is "enough" for the ride, after having some injuries on trails I thought I knew.
I'm curious of your view on neck braces. They've been long debated, but especially in the context of where they fit in as everyday gear or only for those certain trails. I recently started using a lightweight full face helmet almost exclusively, so now I am considering the brace on even more rides... though have yet to wear it on anything but jump lines.
