| Body armour for whistler mountain biking
I want to get something like this since I don't want to be renting their body amour for $50/day for 3 days: http://www.whistlermountainbike.com/...e-armourjacket
Are there some local places where I can get this or something similar? It costs $200 at whistler.
I can get the knee pads and elbow pads at Canadian tire or sport chek unless you recommend otherwise.
I also need to get a bmx style helmet, where can I get this at?
Thanks!!!

661 Pressure suit or Dainese ftw.
And yes get a fullface. Chicklets are expensive to replace.

I have full leg pads which I'm planning to throw away. They are in great condition and only been used 6 times or so.
If you live in East Van, you can come and pick them up for free if you want. XD

I may armor up to learn quicker on my BMX. Attack everything recklessly and hopefully avoid too many serious injuries.
