Re: Northwind's Annual Hip Armour Rant...
 

You even managed to fall off your feet :shock:

This walking malarky must be more dangerous than I thought :roll:

thanks Jabba

Gives you an excuse :) "Actually, I have a lovely pert bum, just all this armour I've got makes it look fat" I have internal armour made out of pies.

what I dont get is why they dont come standard in all leathers.. you get armour in elbows and shoulders and yet you get to the hips and there are pouches there for the armour but no armour in them :( .. cheap skates!!! :cry:

Cheap skates, but their excuse is hip armour is restrictive and reduces the manouverbility of the rider so not all racer wannabes want them.

This is proper armour we're talking about and not the rubbish foam layer I have on my leathers. :?

I thought my textile trousere had it but no :x
they have three non removable pads at each hip (which i thought was the armour) but these feel just like foam pads but are better than nothing i suppose :safe: , upon closer inspection they also have an armour pocket inside the trouser, I'll need to see about getting some. Although I do have plenty personal padding. :lol: :smt082

Edit' Just went and stripped out all the armour from my jacket and trousers, shoulders, knees and elbows all stamped up CE, but back protetor is just a sheet of foam, so looks like i'll have to get a new back insert as well :roll:
