Do I need a full-face helmet/pads/body armour?
Generally, we reckon all these things are personal choices and that you know yourself if you’re going to be pushing hard enough to need the extra protection. We wear leg/arm pads all the time. They strap easily onto our packs for the rare occasions when we do any climbing and it only takes a few seconds to put them on for the descents. We wear body armour and full-facers if we’re going for a non-stop charlift-assisted DH day in Tignes or Les Arcs.
