Body armour

[xander77]

Hi does anyone use body armour, for green lanes, I just use my enduro jacket at the moment, which has foam inserts for the back shoulders and elbows! but some of the lanes are proper rocky and if you took a tumble on them and fell wrong!!!!
So anyone got any recomendations?
I was looking at a sixsixone comp suit?

According to the site 41-42" chest which would be a Large?

i use 661 armour both on the road and off road ,you never no what might happen ,i find after a short while i forget ive got it on ,it offers alot more protection than the foam pads in enduro jackets, but can make you a little sweaty but in my opinion its a small negative compared with the positive of decent protection ,i have also tested the armour with an off in the peak district and i suffered no damage apart from a severe case of bruised pride and alot of stick off the lads

I'm 42-43. Mine is an XL. The display model fitted fine. They do say wear a T shirt underneath.

It's still got all the tags on and hasn't been out of the wardrobe .

Hi Knackered,
Yep you were right the XL would have been too big, got a Large for £74.00 with postage off eBay fits perfect! lets just hope I never actually need it!!!
