Looking for some upper body armour, and came across the One Industries Exo Jacket.

And also the 661 Exo jacket (which isn’t on the 661 website) which seems to be the same jacket

And CRC are listing the blaster vest below as being both 661 and One Industries (with One Industries branding on both)

What’s the deal – same stuff just rebranded? And more importantly – anyone tried either and found them good?

They’re the same company

if the 661 vest used d30 or similar and a bit more coverage lower on the spine Id be keen

tbh Ive found quality (fit/stitching/material) with both companies to be pretty hit and miss

Always figured that 661 was the UK branded bit, ONE industries is pretty US centric in its MX kit and approach.
BTW the new ONE colourschemes are truly gopping. Whoever thought that mtbers wanted to look like Jockeys needs their eyes gouging out.

lol

I know that we all like the levellers ’round here but that’s just shit.
Looks like something I’d have picked up from my local Rizla / Doc Marten / incense stick shop circa 1992

Needs a t-shirt underneath that says something like “I like the pope, ’cause the pope smokes dope”

Agreed – I picked up a couple of their older jerseys, mainly because they w were plain colours, with just the “O” on them, as opposed to the pain splatters and stripes of most brands. That new stuff is shite.
