You might want to speak with Mick Knutson, he jumps more protection gear than anyone i know and he'll be able to give you some solid advice. Keep a few things in mind while shopping such as bulk and potential snag points.

depends of the object but normally i use kneepads (long ones), spine protector (like shorts), back protector, offcource helmet, and sometimes elbowpad(long ones too)...but as i said depents of the object. here in LB right now, i do use only helmet...but you should think it yourself and make a decision :)

helmets- lazer makes paragliding helmets that are actually rated for an impact

knee pads- 661 kyle strait are good value with good protection and are not bulky so you can wear them under jeans

back protection- check out POC, expensive but worth it

Protection....

Depends on location, state of mind, available equipment and personal preference.

Take your pick.
