    I’m in need of some serious suggestions for body armour. Not interested in full DH stuff but something light to wear fur enduro and trail use.
    Reason being I’m just about to get back on the bike after a serious shunt – shoulder blade in 3 pieces.
    So I’m looking for something with shoulder protection and a back protector.
    Anybody tried such a product or any recommendations?

    I bought this a couple of years ago for some comfy, discreet protection at the Mega. Seemed to do the trick.

    I mostly bought for the spine board, but the shoulders are fairly robust too.

    My problems with it were:
    -No kidney belt, so occasionally would ride up
    -Chest plate is pretty useless
    -Horrendous nipple chafe, though that’s more down to my delicate nips than the armour

    I pretty much wore it every day for a month, and once the calluses formed on my nipples, it was pretty much unnoticeable.

    Thanks for the suggestion, looks like just the type of thing I was looking for minus nipple calluses
