How many of you rock the body armor. I was lookin at getting one from 661 or icon or alpinestar but just wanted to know what you guys think about them? are they a little much?

 

Icon offers a body armor vest for 100 dollars. I think the ones from Astars and others are more expensive.

 

do you think its overkill to wear one though?

 

i think they are worth every penny

 

armored joe rocket jacket, teknic spine guard, fox knee and shin guards, joe rocket gloves and boots, hjc helmet, i have walked away from every crash high and low speed this year with nothing more than a couple bruises. it is worth every damn penny!!! the time i got pinned between the bike and the road during a 12 gone bad i was glad i had it all on...

 

if your up north and want some body armor to wear under your hoodies i have about 5 left i will let go for 65.00 shipped

thanks for the feedback guys. Chris ill look around a bit and if im intrested for sure ill hit you up. Im not up north, more so cal, but ill email sometime in the next couple days if im still intrested thanks alot bro.

 

this is the icon vest. what do you think?

 

I think the ICON gear is tight as hell. It looks good and has very good protection. The company has blown up real big this year with there gear. Everything I have is ICON and I love it.

 

would you wear that under a riding jacket or instead of?

 

n/p bro you don't have to be up north to rock it, it just seems the peeps up north been buying them.

Digidy rocks one down here he uses it for dirt as well.

the icon vest is tight i do like them and believe they serve the purpose of a normal back protector. they just dont offer shoulder or elbow protection.

 

u have any yellow spine protectors left I need one

 

i have two left..ill pm you

 

I want to get some of those icon body armor vests. Those look tight.

 

I just fell off of a 12 and I got some rash on the side of my hip and the top of my knee--Anybody wear butt pads?? LOL Im think about getting some knee pads soon first...Leather Jacket helped too.

 

i always wear knee pads under my jeans when i practice slower ****...anyone else do this?

 

Icon has armored underwear, shin and knee protectors, and the vest. With all that and an armored jacket like a TiMax, TiMax gloves, and a good helmet (I'm going with the mainframe flat black) you're pretty well protected under 80mph, just remember to slide on your gloves and not your arms. I went down at 80 and the only thing rashed on my body was my left shin. I had a couple minor spots on my back, but I was wearing only a helmet and gloves.

Only a 1 inch scratch on the helmet too, you just have to fall right..

 

haha..i could never wear that much gear..id feel like i was about to walk on the moon...

 

yea you do just have to fall right, i fell trying to 12, i just bailed on the bike as soon as it scraped and i slid on my gloves for a bit, everything was good except for my knees and favorite pair of jeans, i now wear kneepads when i stunt, hey Chris hows the flexability on the armored vest the back protector that it comes with looks like ist made to take a bullet.
