Huh that's not the one I was looking at.

I honestly like that. I'd wear it -- you could wear just a regular leather jacket over that and have excellent protection -- change the jacket depending on the temp/conditions.

Yep, I like it too. Seems like with this type of suit the armor would not move as much in an actual crash. That said, all my stuff now has built in armor, but this is on the list when time to replace. However, as hot AND humid as it gets here, this may be unbearable in temps over about 90. Seems like it would really restrict airflow and sweat evaporation in higher temperatures.

That's a pretty lightweight looking rig. I guess it would be comfortable, when you're not crashing.

I don't know about the rig, but I tried on a Stryker vest at my local Cyclegear. The back protector seemed pretty substantial, and it was easy to get on/off. The chest panel seemed pretty flimsy though. It didn't seem designed with protection in mind.

I decided on an Alpinestars chest protector instead, with back protector and side padding for kidney/rib protection. I have since seen several other "rigs" with similar protection for chest, back, and sides that appear easier to get on/off. Some jackets even have chest-armor pockets now, but I don't see many with side protection.

Yep, I like mine.
