Every crash is different. It's not like there is an on-off level of protection, where if you wear one type of gear you are full-protected, whereas if you wear something else your body will be obliterated.

Assess the riding you will be doing, and wear the appropriate kit. If I'm riding a short distance across town at 35 mph, the type of gear I wear will be different from what I'll wear while scooting down the freeway at 70 mph.

Have a variety of riding gear that you can mix and match, and wear what is appropriate for the situation.
