    Just wondering what body armour guys and galls wear when riding......(the blade).........

    is it just back protector, or chest, or both.......i normally just depend on the armour thats already in jacket but now thinking an armour vest might be better.......

    has anybody heard of forcefield......

    any ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My mate Mark swears by Forcefield.

    I wear a Spidi Defender back & chest protector. Never ride without them.

    I have the armour in my leathers and a back protector. Not used Forcefield but they look pretty good

    Never used the forcefield but have been wearing the Knox Aegis for the past 2 yrs on the road and track, fairly adjustable and nice and comfy once you get used to wearing something a bit more substantial than a foam pad.

    Use the supplied one with my Clover fabric jacket and a Forcefield one under my leathers.

    I should have more, but my leathers and in built protection is all I have!! Oh and a stupid sense of blind faith protecting me....

    I need to wear my back protector.... But I just can't get on with it!!

    I have Dainese two piece leathers with armour in all the right places. I have been thinking of getting the Dainese back protector that fits into the jacket but so far have not got around to getting one. Anyone tried the it ?

    Slightly different question, has anyone tried the stick on pads to attach knee sliders to leathers not already fitted with the vecro pads. I stupidly decided when I purchased new leathers that I am now to old to bother getting my knee down but you know what thought did ! I don’t really want to have to go our and buy another set just to get sliders. I think I have seen them for sales on Demon Tweeks web site.
