So they rate the protectors as follows:-
1) Knox - about the best you can get
2) Forcefield - good quality but not as good as Knox
3) Dainese - expensive tat derived from snowboarding protection
Just got a 7-plate (Medium) Knox off eBay, brand new for £50

I read somewhere that hard plastic plated protectors are actually less protective due to the sharp shards you can get if the plate cracks/smashes.
Which is why I went Forcefield, even though there were better (cooler) looking protectors.
