i just dont see how that is going to protect you that much in an accident.. I can understand them for stunting but anyone who has been in an accident knows that the most vulnerable spots are your legs, hands, elbows, and shoulders... not your chest or back.

Now i know someone is going to argue the back protector and i agree. But why not just get a textile jacket and try to protect a little more?

[SAK]

i think if it actually works the way its supposed to. you'll just loose your skin and break some bones. not your back.

Yeah I agree but the idea is that the most vital things are protected. It's the risk you take. The alpinestar looks a little too dirtbike-ish for me. That mesh would not hold up for shit on the street. If you wanted to rock the alpinestar one I would get this one

Basically the same thing but has the elbow and shoulder guards also. Granted these would probably tear off when sliding but it would probably save you against the initial impact.

I Picked Up The Icon. It Is Just Enough For Me In The Summer. All I Am Worried About Is Loopin' It On A Fith Gear Wheelie And Landing On My Back. Happened To Me Before On My Dirt Bike But No Road Rash.

your legs.

[Jsquared]

your legs.

LOL:lol2:

[RYDA ONE]

I WAS GONNA SAY MY ASS, BUT CLOSE ENOUGH. WELL, THE WAY I SEE IT, ITS BETTER THAN NOTHING AND NOTHING IS WHAT I WAS WEARING THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS CAUSE IT'S SO HOT And all i have is leather.
Besides, it makes me look cooler. P.S.sorry bout the caps. I know some people here dont like that

[RYDA ONE]

oh, and I never have leg protection anyways.

[Jsquared]

oh, and I never have leg protection anyways.

I usually don't either. I have one pair of Joe Rocket jeans that have Kevlar in them, but usually I don't wear any protection. Just on rides to Tortilla or Jerome.

[Tack_R6]

the first part to hit when you loop it could be anything from your head to a shoulder etc... it's the after that part that fucks you up even more.... anything can happen, you just have to ask yourself are you prepared to deal with more or less pain??

[RYDA ONE]

Hey, I Like Pain.

[SAK]

Hey, I Like Pain.


+1 :shocked

[Jimmy3]

Pain let's you know you're alive.

[KirbyR1]

I have the joe rocket phoenix mesh jacket and realy like it. Seems to be plenty of protection for normal riding and breathes realy good. I can't stand riding without a jacket any more it feels to vulnerable.

[Tack_R6]

^ +1 got the same jacket the J.R. phoenix.... I guess the best way to avoid it all is not to crash....
