Forcefield SOFT armour for the win.
The main issues with hard armour it that its hard!
The whole point of armour is that it absorbs the impact, not just puts something hard between you and the impact surface. You might aswell wear a plank of wood.
Forcefields soft armour base layer moulds to your back and creates a constant fit, and the outer is made up of triangle that dampen the harshness of any impact.(simple explanation)
Plus its reusable. Most hard armour is knackered after first impact
Body armour. What would you choose?
Re: Body armour. What would you choose?
Body armor is really nice. What I did is get rid of the sleeve's and only used elbow guards.
You can if your crazy only were a think jacket but I refer having my jacket without the inner then. However this is SA and the overall temperature is a bit high compare to the UK.
But sweat is cheaper than blood isn't it

Re: Body armour. What would you choose?
Well, I have bought all my armour kit now and I am ready to hack it through the winter and later ride my way through the summer!!
My days clothes followed by heated vest (in case I need it), followed by Linstrands Tribal body armour jacket as pictured earlier, followed by my level2 BMW Back Protector 2 followed by my one piece quilted winter overalls.
A pair of Snow mobile boots, Halvarssons Wott snow mobile mittens and my Caberg and off I go!!
