Revision #2 (Last edited: 14/06/2010 @ 18:52)
At the end of last season, i was riding, and i dodged a rider, only to hit a tree. it hit my chest pretty hard, and i ended up breaking a rib. so today i am going to look for some upper body padding. I dont want any top named brands, because i find their stuf to be cheaply made, and just worthles. So far i have found a 661 Vapor Suit. It looks like pretty sweet deal, including spine protection, and elbow protection. i like the design as well.

If i could have have your opinion about 661 or if u know of a better brand i would love to hear about it, all comments are welcome.

Thanks

This is the link to what the suit looks like. http://www.allsportprotection.com/SixSixOne_Vapor_Suit_p/6436-00-520.htm

Dainese is a top name brand and is anything but cheaply made, the stuff is near indestructible albeit comes with a top brand price tag. Have you looked at their gear?
