Upper Body Armour

[Scotland]

Does it work? Does anyone ride with it? Found some cheap on ebay and was thinking about getting it. Will it restrict movement at all esp in the park? Seems like a good idea but dont want it if its going to be uncomfy and restricting.

um if your planning to try something insane like jumping out of a helicopter into a huge pit of spikey death yes it would be a good idea, depends on how huge you go.

Not huge but i ski on dry slopes so the landings are hard.

I like it when the red water comes out.

I have worn back armour since I broke my back. It that restrictive at all.

Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but in the end, it doesnt get you anywhere. Write that down.

^^ Hehe, I hate that. This one time at ski camp I jumped into a spiky pit of death with only my upper body armor on.

Needless to say i did not get to participate in any of the extracurricular activities associated with 'camp' after that one.

Yeh if anything just get some solid like hip protection for rails. If you bail hard on a big jump body armor isn't really going to do anything for you. But its nice to have for when you mess a rail up heh.

i think padded shorts would work better

I just busted my ribs for the second time so I'm thinking of getting some too. Maybe skeletools or even moto pads.

i use skeletools, and rollerblade elbow and knee pads. they are a little tough to get used to, but i only use them for big mountain skiing. i would recommend a low profile setup that does not restrict movement hard shell like 686 is really restrictive.

 

[donots06]

i have a pressure suit from 661 that i use for mountain biking. i guess you could use it for skiing, its not to restricting but you definitely wont forget you're wearing it
