    i zip tied me elbow uards to my armour and now have them reasonably loose and they dont slide down at all.
    i use a big zip tie so i still have as much movement than ever

    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.

    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 without Forgot where and how much but link

    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
    we may just go where no ones been

    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 .

    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
