In general wingsuit BASE jumpers don't wear protection (other than helmet) because as Jarno points out, object separation is not an issue and you can choose your landing area more easily. Once you have some wingsuit experience the risk of object strike becomes reduced. Even when people fly proximity they allow altitude to get separation from the wall. Pads are still a good idea if the landing area is bad. Like Tom says, fitting full body amour under a suit would require the suit to be sized accordingly. The low profile mountain bike pads work best, with incorporated knee & shin for the legs. For tracking you see a lot of people wearing pads under their P&J / smoke pants. J My protection are in a lowprofildesign with mesh and is quit light as well, and it`s very "movable". I have use it alot in tracking..i use a XL..PF pants with a rainjacket (Medium), and i put a "rubberband" from tumb to tumb and it kicks ass.. -

Maybe im thinking to much about everithing who could happen(lowpull,objectstrike like a building,tensionknot,landing in trees..just for mention few thing)...This false sense of security get me more relaxe when im on the edge..i have had 2 objectstrike in a row couple a years ago..and after this "episodes" im getting real scared of height..its getting better now..and maybe after a while im gonna take off all this plastic thing..and buying me a lighter and smaller canopy for this purpose(bigwalls jumping) -
