How much your kit weighs

[fisco]

Playing around with an electronic scale accurate to 0.2g
Thought the results were interesting...

1320 FOX RC (07) helmet + hero goggles
401 Thor knee guard
1020 Oneil chest protector
495 Camel Back empty
1644 tool belt
951 FOX Forma MX Pants
221 Neck brace
230 FOX socks + THOR gloves
137 Cycling shorts
256 FOX MX Shirt
279 Kidney belt
276 Thor Elbow guards
2059 FOX Forma Pro Boot Right
2041 FOX Forma Pro Boot Left



11330 grams total or 11.33 kgs
73 kgs My weight
84.33 Total Weight
185.526 lbs

I would make an even 10kg of kit, which excludes the tool belt and 2l of water. Including those two items, its pushing 14kg of kit.

I have seen guys wearing jeans boots and a helmet.
What do you consider minimum protection?

I'd say long sleeves, long pants, riding boots, helmet, goggles, and gloves.

I've seen guys ride in flip-flops and swimming trunks, doesn't make it right!
