OP, you would be wise to listen to JR, he was normal until he rode a long trip on the stock F800GS seat, now look at him, stiff as a board. :lol3

My vote's pretty clear

I'm not crazy about the looks of high-viz but I can't argue with the results. The zombies see me more often on the road and that helps keep me alive.

There is always room for improvement.

For example, Maybe we might be lucky enough to see the D3OŽ XERGO armour that was going to be used in the now delayed AR2 at this price point.

Thanks pal that's good to know. Should see if they have improved noticeably or not, either way, improved armour or discounted current run - win/win.
