Ha! The helmet. Totally me. Ride with my kids and grab my roadie helmet because my mtb one is still soak in sweat…im on my FS trail bike riding around with kids…I feel weird/dorky. Hopefully they don’t get that stupid human trait.
As for skin suits and Lycra. As a roadie and off-roadie, Lycra padded shorts are just plain better/more functional cycling apparel with the caveat it isn’t too protective but can’t see it being less protective than my thin baggy mtb shorts. Do I wear them in my mtb? No. I’d look like a tool on my 150mm travel rig even if I’d actually be more comfy
And modern DH…might as well be in skin suits and basically getting as tight as possible without flagging a rule violation if that is still a thing.
