Probably a dumb question, but for those familiar with MIPS helms, is there any sort of indicator on the MIPS lining that it’s been activated during a crash? Does that degrade at all?

Too many options for butt pads. What do. I’m aware of hillbilly, have other plans for those.
Contenders:
Triple 8 Bumsaver
Bohn all season riding shorts
Dainese Hard short E1
Leatt 3DF 5.0
Knox defender Mk3
Anything from this, probably bodyprox

Right now I’m leaning towards
Leatt 3DF 5.0
Dainese
Bodyprox
Obviously there are lazyrolling pants, I don’t think they have tailbone protection tho, and they’re waaay too expensive to basically have to hope you guess your size right for the time being…

Dainese or alpinestars bionic shorts. You need hard pads to slide
I’m talking for wearing under, not over. All I’m after is padding for hip impacts, not slides, and tailbone impacts. I guess sliding is technically an answer to both of those, but I guess I’m more looking at cushion padding, not sliding.
Areas of polymer are however helpful in the even of if I get slid hard enough for jeans to rip thru, but I haven’t really had that yet in accidents that have bruised up my hips/tailbone
Wait maybe I’m being dumb right now
Basically, I think hillybilly pads are my ideal for speed run/race wear. Looking for something more streamlined and compact for casual 30mph+ tho. Can’t look too Superman around college.
Then go with leatt 3df shorts or any shorts with d3o foam
Flatland gloves are definitely light duty stuff. Tbh, that’s what I bought them for - my fault for trying to use them for more than that.
Properly fitted glove literally slid right off of my hand in… not that bad of a crash in the grand scheme of things. Luckily, I didn’t get too badly damaged… But damn. Glove came right off 
Have had the exact same crash situation in the cheapest slide gloves triple 8 offers and they hold tight. If you’re going over 30mph for most of the ride, you should probably have something slightly beefier than flatland, or modify them a bit so that they really cinch around the wrist.

Do they have a unidirectional wrist brace like the flatlands? Tbh, that’s the only thing they really have going for them. I bought them to be something compact, quick to put on, with enough protection for light runs… but honestly, they’re not very compact at all…
Not like the new FL3D, no. These are designed as an MX glove. Have saved my hands a couple of times already.
Do you guys reccomend Sector 9 BHNC gloves?
- Do they breathe well?
- Are they comfortable?
I don’t really plan on using the slide pucks, maybe in my non remote hand… But will they hold up after a fall?
Hopefully someone here has used em before
If you hate them, reccomend me something light, durable and breathable that’s not stupidly expensive (please 
)

My friends have these, the finger tips are really rigid in my opinion compared to leather ones.
