I've got an old 661 pressure suit but am just checking out some of the body armour now available (with an eye on my trip to Whistler Bike Park in 6 weeks).
I like the idea of the soft body armour - I already have knee pads of this type and they are way comfier.
I've been looking at the Forcefield Pro Shirt - no annoying velcro and it's allegedly very breathable - but I've heard that before! Anyone tried it? Wondering what it's like comfort wise when I'm sweating away?
This is for DH - not pedalling around in.
You boys need to bring your xc bikes and hit some trails!!
We can still get you to the GLC for post ride beer 😉
Currently looking at the Leatt stuff but can't find any one who has stock 🙁
There's been too much spending on big bikes BearBack!! (not by me).
I'm gonna bring the big bike but am planning on hiring something for a couple of days pedalling...
I've been using Forcefield stuff for 2-3 years - always been really comfortable and I've never had a problem overheating in it.
Good to hear wheeleeneelee. I can't sweat more than I did in armour this weekend just gone...
