Who among you has EVER been saved a bruise or scrape or something worse by your wearing of body armour? I mean, seriously?

[B0000M]

ive been protected from thousands of rocks from fucken 450s on trails on gravel sections by guys with too much rear tyre money

ive been protected from many branches

ive been protected from who knows what when i got clean run over my armour when i thought it would be a good idea to race in the junior 125s when i was on my 80 when i was about 10 in whakatane

maize stalks,
handle bars
shit you land on on the ground

most things you'd expect it to do, mine has done for me

[B0000M]

turns out they make womens armour, cheers scott, ordered

[telliman]

try being on a start gate with 30 other bikes and being mid pack at the first turn, the roost will kill you ,or try endoing and being bent over the bars without a chest protector on, then come back and give us some feed back!

If you want the best body armour, buy a bullet proof vest. Best protection for blunt force trauma.

I tend to connect with a tree most rides, usually cutting the corner & whacking my shoulder into a branch or the tree itself, so quite happy to have a pressure suit.

I did take the back off, but put it back on after talking to someone who'd ended up going backwards into a tree & he reckoned it saved him big time.

Im looking for some body armour to combat the constant bruises and grazes, something with elbow pads. I found this, its at the cheaper end of the scale BUT is it worth going cheaper. looks like it would do the trick and its within budget. are there any reasons not to buy it.??
