What gear has alot of protection for stuntin?

I was hit by a drunk driver on june 11th breaking both my legs. I got a hole punctured in my leg tons of nasty rash thats just healing up. Long story short im looking for a good vest and some pants with protection so if I loop a wheelie or somthing I dont get as much rash. I seen someone post up stunt vest a while back. It was around $100 I think. Looked like it would be good for stunting. I want somthing that doesnt get to hot because I ride during the day when its 90 plus outside. Anyone make good pants with protection near the ***, shins, knees? Thanks in advance. I still got 2 months until I can ride but im doing it right this time.

best protection is a leather jacket with a back protector under it.. and some sturdy jeans with icon superduty boots I'd say...and A HELMET

i like my icon vest, saved my back the other day when i scraped a spreader and fell out of the tank. 661 makes a upper body suit that looks like it offers a lot of protection. a good shin/knee guard and icon pants should hold up pretty well for your lower half.

Icon is the bomb man. They make everything you need. They have bomb *** helments and Jackets. Along with knee and shin pads and elbow pads. They also make some bad *** pants and have some padded tight shorts that go under your jeans. Along with the gloves and boots they take real good care of use stunters. I will only buy Icon gear!!

I went down a couple of weeks ago at about 35 mph. Had on Icon jeans, long sleave T and gloves slid on my left arm, left knee and left glove. Glove got ripped through the leather and kevlar. Arm bad rash obviously. Knee small rash but jeans never ripped. Would have been worse if I just had on reg. jeans. Icon good stuff!

I got the shin gaurds which saved me b4 and now the vest. The elbow pads were too tight, and I don't have big arms. I went w. 616 4x2 elbow/forearms gaurds instead. Way better fit.
