Is that paranoia?

A buddy's muni caused arm fracture in austin last sunday has inspired me
to get arm protection or elbow pads at the very least for rocky muni
rides. i came across 'this' (http://pricepoint.com/product2108.html) at
pricepoint.com

Does anyone have one? I imagine it's too hot even in a texas winter.

So, are you planning on swordfighting on your uni?
That armour looks really cool, but I don't know if unicyclists would
actually need that much protection, since we don't get the high speeds
or height of bikers.
That would be great for a Halloween costume, though.

no way. All you need is shin guards gloves and a helmet. I always
thought it would be good to buy some arm guards but have never had a
problem with it. THat suit might give you more currage but I wouldn't
want to spend the money on currage, just go see the Wizard.

For arm protection I would just go with something like 661 2x4's or
roach DH arms. Something like 'This' (http://tinyurl.com/kk5y) might be
better for those of you who prefer to avoid heat. they are also pretty
cheap.

After collapsing a lung, I think some kind of chest armor is a good idea
for certain people (tall and skinny) on certain terrain (like icy
stairs), though this looks a bit extreme. 661 makes some less medieval
armor that looks more appropriate for muni.
