davjohns 1 #2 January 17, 2014 Agreed. Put it on or take it off. If you are indecisive, this might not be the sport for you. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

davjohns 1 #7 January 17, 2014 I wear enough camo during the workday. I don't have anything personal that is camo anymore.

JackC1 0 #8 January 17, 2014 In a sport where staying alive depends directly on being seen, camo is really really f'king stupid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NWFlyer 2 #16 January 17, 2014 piisfish -too much camo See attached. Is that too much? (Back story: I didn't bring my cold weather gear to Nationals this year, but some mornings were in the high 30s/low 40s and I wanted something to keep my neck/head warm, so I hit the only option that was open at 9 p.m. in Ottawa, IL... Wal Mart. Looked all around the entire store - workout gear, sporting goods, etc., and found nothing... then I realized they had a hunting section. Hunters need to stay warm!

DougH 270 #20 January 17, 2014 Swoop pants on men. You look like a bunch of women wearing capris, and they don't protect the sides of your shins from road rash if you slide out a fast landing.

BigMikeH77 0 #23 January 17, 2014 Sometimes things can be effective yet have looks and a "coolness" factor that leaves much to be desired. First thing that came to my mind are OTG goggles. I wear glasses, and needed the over-the-glasses goggles until last weekend when I finally bought a respectable full-face helmet. The OTG's were clumsy. On one occasion I failed to tighten them down enough and the wind caught underneath them, instantly blinding me in freefall. They smooshed my glasses into my nose and against my eyes, and bent them all up. They worked, though... USUALLY. but maaaan were they ugly. No one ever said anything to me about it though, probably because for the most part what's important is safety and having serviceable gear - not necessarily good looking gear. But then again, looking good on the outside tends to make you feel good on the inside. Before/after attached. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
