Body armour

Post by diggermanbob »

What's the best body armour , I have a force field pro shirt which is great but I need a set of armour that I can stick on top of a t shirt , probably stick a fleece on top or Klim jacket if it's wet , any suggestions ?

Not mine...

Well actually lots of them miss out the side bits. Mine is full-on Ninja Turtle but not impregnable. Alpinestars Bionic looks good and some of the Leatt stuff looks good too. Depends what you want to pay Bob.

Perhaps this?

but make sure you get the tunic / too-too included. And the gold bling bits obviously. I can see you in that. Suits you sir...

I use the leat 5.5 armour with the wrap around bits if I'm out for a nadgery one, as the last time I cracked some ribs it was from my elbow going into the side which most armour leaves unprotected, it's a bit bulky though but no more so than most hard armour.

That makes perfect sense that's just what I need , my forcefield makes me sweat like a cornered nun in the summer , but nice and cosy in the winter , :D
