stuff in china always scares me and at that price it probably too good to be true.
not anywher in that ad do they say "fox" so i doubt you would get what is in the picture.
email and as for photos of the actual product and where its made. |

Yea i was thinking that exactly, pics show fox but isnt mentioned hey.
Im not really wanting any, i just got regular roost armor, though it does seem like a decent type of armor!

A awful lot of stuff is made in China and resold by American "brand name" companies. Nike, Rebock Fox Tamarack Maxxis Warn , to just name some of the hundreds. And it's not all bad.
A hell of a lot of components for all sorts of bikes are made their too.
But....
Throw in a few scam artists, seconds and imposters, who utilise E-bay and the like, and the chances of getting ripped off are pretty good. 
It's hardly the price of a bottle of spirits, though.......
And if it seems to good to be true, it normally is.

I clicked on a few different adds that looked to be the same product and there were different sellers, some with 0 feedback some with more! seems too good to be true!

I have bought this armour and its full tagged with fox, it comes down to these blokes selling from a wharehouse direct, no shop fronts or double price mark up. I used it at TP 2 years running and it was passed by the scrutineers.

thanks for that input yogie.
Its interesting to know that it is fully tagged! How do you find it?
I looked on the Fox racing website and its different to the current one they offer on there! maybe these are a couple seasons old??

I hate wearing the stuff,  I unpicked the shoulder pads, the elbow pads, because all I needed was the spine protection. and your probly right its old stock, hell who cares

I should clarify this, I hate wearing them, dont matter what it is, so yes they are uncomfortable, I'm sure there are lots of riders that dont mind wearing them, and once i removed the shoulder and elbow pads, it made a lot better. does that make sense! And I only wear them when I have to, and thats only for the rare enduro or TP once a year.

I have an evs same as prety much,
uncomfortable yes....
Has saved me 3 times now and I mean saved me
worst was a hill climb race for fun see he could get to the top the fastest, got to the top and hit a bolder launch me, 8 feet. I was inverted and thought its time to get off drove myself back first into the rocks, I can remember the time keeper screeming "major off major off"
The only thing that had no protection was my arse cheeks and I must have lost 3 layers of skin cuase "profanity removed" i was in some pain that night.
As uncomfortable as they are dont think I would be walking today if I dindnt have it, the plastic spine protection still has the scars of the slide.
Had it for 4 years now money well spent...

Forgot to mention when not racing I were it on the outside of my jersey much more comfortable so when you pull up on a trail you can unzip it and lose it for a break or a breather. On a practice day every one dressed to the nines, to the hell with that I were all my protective gear on the outside.
Get back to base camp get ride of it, and still thrash around in jersey and boots getting fire wood, and all I need to do when somesays lets go for a night ride is grab the jacket, gloves and helmet and your away.
