 Posted: Sun May 20, 2007 10:13 pm Post subject: which body armour/chest protector? |
  |
|
Was wondering if people could recommend any good ones and bad ones to stay away from. I am interested in something that is compliant(if its required to be under MA rules) for mx racing and still comfortable enough to wear while trail riding(longer periods of time).
I am a rather portly fellow  so is there a specific type to look for that has good ventilation as overheating could be an issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers Ryan

Danise is the best I think but also the most expensive

Dainese are the best pressure suit on the market but also the most expensive at around $550, I've got a Troy Lee Design Descender Suit which breathes pretty well and is comfortable enough to race or trail ride in. Blaster Babe has an Alpine Star suit which she is pretty happy with.

I'll give a big tick to the protection and comfort of my dainese.

Thanks for the replies. Sorry to harp on the subject, is there a requirement by Motorcyle Australia that the pressure suits have to meet a certain standards or do the just have to have a spin protector. I just dont what to buy one, rock up to a race to be told I dont have the right gear.

Ive got a 661 pressure suit, its a couple of years old now and they have brought out a better one but its still comfy and breathes well... And when you hit the ground it helps alot.
