I'm also planning gloves and some kind of slip on knee pads/ maybe shin pads that I can put on under my jeans. I need help on choosing both gloves and pads. Any ideas?
For gloves, ask a guy at a local store what he recommends. Try a lot of stuff on, and try a few stores. Look for something with knuckle armor and venting, at least for the summer/fall. Around my area(NC), you might still want venting in the winter, the way things have been recently.
