body armor

[jeff_o]

hi guys. im n d market for either a riding jacket or body armor. for those who have experienced wearing those. what can you guys advice? body armor or riding jacket? and why. and are there anyone selling used body armors?

[Wing 1]

Jeff_O, I hope you wouldn't mind me posting another question in your thread. I'm also interested in these items..

I was just wondering. Is it possible to acquire separate body armor?

For the deltoids/shoulder area which I can wear under my jacket?

I already have a 4 plated back protector which I wear under my jacket, but nothing for my shoulders...

Hmm...what if I get my cousin's Hockey-body armor. Nah..too heavy and bulky...

[jeff_o]

wing1 its ok. with regards to your inquiry.. i think riding jackets really come with their own shoulder and elbow protectors. these protectors are inserted in the jackets. i just dunno if u can find separate protectors to insert into your existing jacket. let's find out what others have to say

You can purchase Spidi seperate CE armors from Dreambikes. Last time I checked it was Php1.7T for a set (2 shoulder and 2 elbow). You can install those armors to any jacket by velcro (included in the package).

Off to dream bikes this weekend!!!! Hmm..I dint notice them the last time I went there. Thanks, bro! I'll have a look at the package.


By the way, anyone out there willing to sell me their gloves? I lost mine. (I won't explain how I lost 'em. Nakakahiya)

Hello wing1, bought the armor listed below for one of my jackets, but the jacket was sold before the armor arrived. So now I'm selling it at cost, brand new.

That type of armor also protects the shoulders/deltoids area right?

Can I wear that under any normal jacket?

Thanks for informing me...

Want a Kick ASS motorcycling ARMOR suit?

Visit this site : Armor

You can order it through the Internet. My cousin bought one already and it is of very good quality. Comfortable pa at hindi mainit.

Here's a pic:

That armor looks good. Wish I could get one of those. Would make me feel more secure when a tailgaiting cage comes up from the rear...or when riding hard and fast.

Problem is, I wouldn't know where to get them. I hope they're available in local bike shops...

I guess the commonly seen riding jacket here is the Joe Rocket Phoenix as shown below. It is made of a mesh type material so its not hot even at high noon. When your bike is moving, the air can move freely into the jacket making you feel cooler. It has armour at important places of your upper torso such as shoulder, collar bones, elbows, forearms, etc.



More info here.

the body armour without the jacket like what dec has shown below is nice too coz it is lighter, but it wont protect your skin against the sun unless you'll always wear long sleeves.

kamikaze at robinsons cainta sells very cheap body armour. locally made yata. it is worth it to check it out

[Wing 1]

Thanks, littlebadboy! Hmm..Kamikaze at Robinson's Cainta... Thanks for the info

I have this one and it's quite hot especially in traffic, but cools down when you're cruisin. Protection wise, I feel safe with it.

Body armors? Have not tried 'em yet, but I guess they are better than not wearing any protection at all.

You might also want to try mad dogs shop in pasong tamo, that's where I bought mine. They also have some items there on consignment basis.

I have both the Shirt and Pants body armor from Bohn which I like because it hugs on your body. I initially use this everytime I ride but got tired of removing them and putting them on when I am at the office. I only wear these now during long distance/weekend rides.
I have a leather riding pants with soft armor which i tried to use with the Bohn Pants but it restricted my movement. It works well in combination with a Joe Rocket Hustler Pants (looks like jeans with a side zipper). You can use this also using Jeans but of course leather gives you better protection.

For the Shirt, I have to remove my Jacket's armor so it will fit. Most jackets comes with armor now so I ended up using my riding jacket most of the time.

Hope this helps

which one? the kamikaze body armor or the joe rocket jackets? i'd say the jacket is a good investment because it protects you from the sun too.

[wewenski]

I agree with littlebadboy that the jacket is really a good investment... that's why I 'am saving for it

wewenski,
Hindi ko sure kung meron pang ibang store kung saan binibenta yung kamikaze na body armor.
try calling kamikaze robinsons for more info...

One problem with the mesh type jackets (at least with Joe Rockets ones) is that the body armor tends to move around. This is not good in the event of a crash. But I can understand the need for such a mesh type jacket in very hot and humid weather. I would personally choose a textile jacket with good venting. As for the body armor, that is also an option but you would still need to wear some covering, as the others have said, to protect you from the sun... and wind.

any form of body armour helps.. just make sure they fit and don't move around to do what they are designed to do -to protect.
