Dainese all the way.
Costs a bit more but worth it for sure.
I had a 661 pressure suit 1 which i found more comfy and better protected than the other pressure suits yet my dainese is much comfier than that, cooler too. I can wear it all day and not be bothered by it. I couldnt wait to get the 661 armor off. The 661 was very bulky too.
Body armor is something that you may only buy once (unless its crash damaged) so save up a bit and buy the best.
I've always liked the dianise but for a thirteen yr old(me) it was far too expensive so i think i would go for that one if i had the money!

christmas is comming ... and the goose is gettin
omg my first reference to christmas..
shoot me.
I've used the 661 pressure suit for about 2 years and I find it very bulky and a little too warm. It pains me now to put it on when the sun is out.
Im looking to get a dianese gladiator jacket as they look alot more comfortatble and breathable.
Good price on the 661 stuff though if you are strapped for cash :)
Has anyone heard if race face are bringing out a jacket? Ive bought the FR shin guards, they rock!

a quick look around i found the fox armor for £109 with an additinal 10% off so, under 100 squids.
Shift also do a jacket that is very similar to the fox one, but hard as hell to find any info on the net.
rasen bikes stock ufo so ill look into that.
i like the look of the fox but its still costly.
dainese is way outta my price range really
i'm well pleased with my jacket with its matching armoured cod piece :D it fits really snug and doesn't move even in a heavy crash:D but as with all body armour there's issue's, with mine its the stitching which isn't the best but easly fixed other than that its ace :D
yea i like the look of yours, what model is it and how much was it?
i have more money than i thought so perhaps the more expensive models are an option afterall
brand-x, delivered today. very cool on the move, very comfortable, very cheap. nuff said.
