Gargamel Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Well did a search and just found 1 topic (real old) on this and it was asking about them but no reply, so I'll start it Just bought one, looks like this but different colors being last years model It is real comfortable, real good padding with plastic sewn into it and foam. It is basicly a chest-spine-elbow-pads with a built in kidney belt. It is a little heavy but not to bad. I will be a little hot in the summer but so is most pads. Overall I like it but would not spend the 175 msrp. I got it new on ebay for 50. I'd say worth 100ish if you race and need good pads. It has lots of adjustments to fit it just right on. Only complaint I have is it don't fit tall people (I'm 6'5") real well, but not much does. Wish the big and tall store sold race gear It goes under the jersey and is all mesh so should vent well when moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knight_ripper Posted February 9, 2006 Report Share Posted February 9, 2006 I got one too. I have the one there in the picture. I do race, and i bought it for extra protection. I will take all I can carry. I was contemplating wearing a chest protector on top of the jersey as well. Just for the rocky reason. Ive worn it maybe 3 times now...and its getting more and more worn in. one day I might forget its there. we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CadillacBanshee Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 I bought the blue and black one after i ate shit and ended up in the hospital. Anything to keep me from bruising my liver, kidneys, bladder, and ribs is comfortable enough to where when riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
