if you want to be cheap you could use a pillow and duct tape???

theres so many types brands to choose from!!

i use a bohn pro race protector!!

 

How about some Reason here and graduate from the 6 year old mentality (I WANT TO PLAY NOW)! Injuries = 10 Times less ride time - Play time!!!!! An extra 1-2 min! to suit up....HMMMMMMM

Let's do the math here! SAFETY FIRST!!

 

Case & Point!!!!!

 

all i got to say for icon field armor

 

Point taken! lol.. ouch.. but i wish i was wearing any type of armor last month. on-coming car turned left in front of me, and i slammed into the back of his car. luckily i wasnt going to fast, i mangled my hand. pretty much new front end and had to replace all the plastic on my bike!

 

three weeks now so im ready to go again but i think im going to wear my leather jacket this time when i practice new stuff

 

I wear this.. I don't ever ride without it unless I'm just commuting etc.

I got it for $120... it's really breathable so it's not problem to wear even in the summer. In the winter spring and fall I just throw a hoody over it. I'm looking to get some knee pads soon, not sure if I want just knee pads or ones with shin pads integrated too... I think the shins would be too sweaty and overkill

 

what kind of armour is that and where did you get it. I've been looking into the 661.. pretty much made up my mind. but i just got back to work 3weeks ago now, so i'm starting to get back on track.

 

Nice stuff it looks like661, thanks for the support....safe stunting....ps get the 661 knee/chin protectors they are lightand comfortablewith the breathable leg sox...when you hit your knees/chins you wll say i wish i had them!

 

It's an Azonic Z6, I've had it about 2.5 years. I'm almost positive I got it from www.motorcycle-superstore.com but they don't have it on their website now. They have a bunch of other azonic stuff but I don't see the Z6 armor, maybe they sold out? Jensonusa has it right now for $124 http://www.jensonusa.com/store/produ...x?sc=QBIKE&x=y

motorcycle-superstore.com has the 661 pressure suit though... $161.99
The Azonic Z6 is pretty much the same thing except the Z6 has hard plastic on the front, the pressure suit is just padding. The Pro pressure suit has plastic on the front, and a big plastic spine protector on the back, but it's $212.99
The pressure suit has a little more padding on the backs of the shoulders, but the Z6 looks like it's the most breathable.
Pressure Suit



Pro Pressure Suit

 

the pro pressure suit looks wicked awesome.. i think i might have to change my mind. either way, i still gotta wait about a month. but ill probably go with a pro hands down.

:YEAH :YEAH :YEAH

 

True, if I lived somewhere where heat wasn't such a big concern in the summer I might have gone with something a little beefier, but I wanted something I wouldn't ever decide not to wear because it was too hot or uncomfortable. Even this Z6 gets kinda hot if you're sitting around or moving slow, but I like how the pro pressure suit has the thumbholes at the end of their sleeves to prevent the arm from sliding up on you, and the spine protector is grade A.

That Alpinestars piece looks nice and breathable

 

whats heat compared to road rash or something worse right??
i live right by Vanc. in B.C., so it's gets pretty damn hot up here in ther summer and it gets damn cold in the fall. but for now i'm just gonna go with a pro suit for this summer and buy a vest for next.

 

not to bad when your riding...you have to take it off when taking a break or it get pretty hot.

 

i'de probably just end up mostly wearing it when i'm practicing or going for a nice bike ride somewhere with curvey roads.. little rides here and there i wouldnt bother! i want to enjoy myself, not be wearing a sweatsuit

 

wow !!!!! showering must have been a bitch!!!!! ok im like double thinking my vest now....

 

yeah the shower wasnt fun for a few days made me wanna cry
