  | Would you wear This? How it looks, would you wear one?  Impact protection yes. Design for hot weather conditions for those who hate to cover up when its hot. Back and shoulder protection with a unique feature of removing the shoulder armor so you can rock it under your favorite jacket. Under Summer jacket  / Under Winter Jacket kool! Hate Jackets? Then leave the shoulders on, throw on your elbow guard a go! Now How it look, would you wear one? Badd! = I luv it. Looks great I can see myself in it without a doubt Sick!! = looks real nice, I like the design. Thats Hot! Corney = I cant see myself in that, no way! Not me at all, no way no how Junk = Ugly the designer must be fired! Not even if its free! Last edited by HGBiKer : 10-08-2008 at 4:58 AM. | |

| Re: Would you wear This? looks like its supposed to be worn underneath a jacket. it looks like impact protection not abrasion protection. doesn't matter what it looks like if it works since you won't see it anyway. |

| Re: Would you wear This? I am wearing a similar one underneath my jacket each time I ride. It doesn't bother me at all and if it helps in the event of an accident it is worth it no matter what it looks like. |

| Re: Would you wear This? I wear this http://www.cyaprotectivegear.com/Thu...t.jpg&size=600 Adult Flak Jacket.jpg&size=600 It is mesh and hard armor with a substantial back protector. The upside is it is very cool and flexable and has more armor them most any jacket. All the areas that would likely contact if you got off are armored so it should give good abrasion protection. |

| Re: Would you wear This? looks to be more for the stunting crowd, for low speed crashes that wouldn't require skin graphs, it dont seem that it would help much after 50 MPH. plate of sh&^, as for me ill stick with leathers or kevlar, but i guess some gear is better than no gear

| Re: Would you wear This? Disagree. Would help protect on the impact as the Armors along with approved foam molds to your body, but as far as your skin, that might need some cover. Well this is the initial model. We know skin protection is needed so if there's a Version 2 I guarantee will get both worlds taken care of. Last edited by HGBiKer : 10-14-2008 at 4:16 AM. |

| Re: Would you wear This? It reminds me of something that Dainese makes for snowboarding. Yes, I would, if there where women's fitting. I have looked high and low and it seems the ONLY company that makes a related type of impact protection jacket for women is Alpinestars. |

| Re: Would you wear This? haha, I wish I had some of that stuff last time I came off, especially the back stuff, would have saved a few slipped disks. Simpson helmet + back protecter + decent jacket + draggin jeans /w pad inserts + decent boots = style + protection, best of both worlds!  muwauahahahahahahaaa |

| Re: Would you wear This? On an off topic note. I like the look of those denim race pants you have on the site. Nifty idea for the street. Those I'd rock.....got any better pics of them? They look almost exactly like my Teknic Chicane leather pants. |
