*** Had an accident in June which ended in knee surgery. Since then I will not ride without some form of knee protection. Either my Cortech pants with knee armor or my Thor knee/shin protectors. Think about it, the chances of your knees hitting the ground in an accident are pretty high, yet a lot of people neglect this part of their body when buying gear. A knee injury will sideline you for a long time while it heals and surgery and physical therapy are a lot more expensive than a set of knee guards for $50-90. Don't forget to protect those knees!

Sounds vey familiar, I too had a knee injury due to a bike accident, broke the left kneecap in half, while WEARING the joe rocket textile pants, I believe when i hit the ground the knee pads shifted out of place, so this time I bought leather, but anyways I've got:
Helmet: Icon Alliance SSR
Jacket: Joe Rocket Corona Replica Jacket (Leather)
Pants: Teknic Chicane Leather Pants
Boots: Joe Rocket Meteor Boots (love how they're waterproof)
Gloves: Icon Pursuit (I know, ****** gloves, I'm going to go get some TiMax TRX (Long) ones asap)
