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

    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

    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!

    I was very glad of my pressure suit when I slammed into a tree.

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