Default Body Armour

Thinking of getting some body amour, anyone got any experience on body armour?!?!? bearing in mind I intend to use for minimoto it doesn't have to be of the highest quality ... but I want something that is worth wearing ...

This seems like a fair price and looks purposeful ... CE APPROVED BODY ARMOUR JACKET eBay link

I seems to have everything in the right place and not a bad price!! Personally I wear my race leathers when I ride my minimoto.

it looks like a watered s down version of the stuff we used for motocross, lighter but probably as good, have a work with Raf as he wears something like that all the time under his leathers, mu Knox undershirt is much the same by with out the chest panels.

Cheers Mark.

Knox armour is good stuff. I know their torso suit is very good, but also very expensive (£160 or there abouts).

I bought some Knox knee protectors before Christmas, cost me £30. These strap on top of the knees, so I can use them with fabric & leather trousers, and jeans during the summer

I'll see what else comes up over the next week or so, but that looked a reasonable item for my purposes
