Interested in the below. Just after some first hand experiences, has anyone got any bliss body armour? Seems reassuringly expensive, albeit I might be being naive.

I’ve got the knee pads, very comfy and light, So I wear them a lot but have yet to experience them in a proper crash.
One of the lads around here said his stopped fitting after he washed his. No experience of the body armour but looking at it at the ews expo, looks very nice. Can you try it on anywhere?

I have this body armour but without the chest protector or the small piece at the bottom of the spine. I find it to be well made and snug fitting. Much lighter than the usual body armour. I haven’t crashed in it so cannot comment on that side of things. I’ve washed it a few times without issue. It’s very low profile. I like it!!

I washed mine in a pillow case on a low heat.
