Cycling protective gear

Here you'll find everything that protects you on the bike: helmets, gloves, glasses, knee and elbow pads, body armour, back and neck protection, and backpacks. The level of protection depends on what you ride: for the city and cross-country, a light helmet and gloves are enough; for enduro and downhill you need a full-face helmet, knee pads and possibly body armour.

Rules for used protective gear

  • a helmet that has taken a hit no longer protects, even if nothing shows, so ask for its history
  • check the helmet's manufacture date and certification, and for full-face helmets the downhill certification
  • on knee pads and armour, the foam and inserts shouldn't be torn and the elastic should still hold
  • size: measure your head, knee or chest circumference
  • hygiene: ask whether the inner pads come out and can be washed

Leatt, Force, Alpinestars, O'Neal and TSG have the most ads on Biklo, with Specialized, Scott and Fox rounding out the range. You'll find new products from shops and used ones from private sellers, so you can compare prices directly.

Questions about protective gear

What protection do I need for enduro?
The recommended minimum is a helmet with extended rear coverage or a full-face, knee pads and gloves. For bike parks and downhill, add a full-face helmet, elbow pads, body armour or a back protector and possibly a neck brace.
Can I buy a used helmet?
You can, if the seller confirms it has never taken an impact and it isn't very old, because the foam degrades over time. With full-face helmets, also check the downhill certification.
