I wouldn't ride without a kidney belt or you'll be pissing blood in no time.

+1 for the pressure suit.
On a side note I've got a kidnet belt here if someone wants one. I think that I paid $70 for it, I'll flick it for $40.

Man i cant stand those pressure suits, if you dont mind wearin them then they are a great thing!
gee wizzz
I know Im gonna look like a chump but WTF is a pressure suit?
To see a life newly created.To watch it grow and prosper. Isn't that the greatest gift a human being can be given?

I have 661 2x4 guards, got'em mostly because they have the mesh part so don't slide down which can be a problem with some. Also means you can leave the forearm strap loose. Good protection and they're light, had a couple of offs where even with them on had some bad brusing so withoutForgot where and how much but link

No idea what the going rate for them, eerrrr guess less than 1 hundy.

Cycletreads have quite a few different ones, the website atm isnt showing them, but Im sure they still have them there.
I got the 661 white suit, I found it was more comfortable and fitted better than the other ones that were there,
Theres the Nemeses ones on tardme for $136, Oneal ones for $249, Thor impact rig $249, there are cheaper not name brand ones around too for 100 - 150 ish
If its near go to cycletreads and try some on, see if you like it, because some people hate them

motomail outlet had some for 60 bucks last year , price does vary alot think mine was 140 azonic/oneal . Lots of them are listed as mountain bike gear on trademe . I rekon the best thing about it is that all the armour is tied together so I only have on remember one thing .

Whoops I think I stole the thread, I'm just after elbow pads.

Probably that makes two chumps.
I have a very lowly set thermostat and anybody that has ridden with me knows that when the helmet comes off a pint of sweat pores out.(could be amber liquid)
With a pressure suit its two pints.
Thus any pressure to major blood carring vessels e.g the arms, results in serious cramps.
Elbow pads may stop the odd little craze, but hit a tree or another bike and you are still going to break the arm. Kidney belts on the other hand are a different story.
They hold our porches in tight to make us fat bastards look slim and cool
