Protection

Having been whacked over the head with a mallet end last night after several near misses I'm thinking of wearing a helmet, something to protect my face as well. Anyone already wearing something suitable?

Cheers

I bought one of these a couple of years ago just for general riding which I now use for polo as well. They are fairly cheap and good as a basic helmet. However, after seeing this guy in Berlin:

...as well as this guy at the opens, I'm becoming more interested in things that cover the face.

More over I'm interested to know what people are using for gloves and knee/shin protection. I've seen people wearing what range from MX gloves to huge chunky gloves, and some awesome looking knee and shin combo pads.
