DIRT PRODUCTS UNDERDOG TO HELP TOP DOGS No matter how good you are, any off-seal ride could turn pear-shaped, putting your back at risk. An off needn’t be a major though, if you’re wearing the right protection. O’Neal comes to the party this time, with the Underdog 2 articulating spine protector. Made of high impact injection-moulded plastic with extensive mesh venting and an adjustable elastic kidney belt, the Underdog 2 features removable back, forearm and elbow protection.

If that’s you, take a look at this helmet foam from Twin Air. White, measuring 360 by 250mm and with an adhesive back, it’ll help keep weighty mud off your helmet peak/visor in muddy conditions.
