body armour help please

[fragy]

just had some fox body armour delivered it feels to tight and seems to pull and make my shoulders ache, also does not seem to give enough protection on theupper arm. Does anybody know the nearest place to grimsby that has good quality pressure suits. cheers in advance fragy

[fragy]

sorry forgot need to get some sorted in time for hamsterley

[True Saxon]

chain reaction;)
will have it here in a day or 2

just order a bigger size... i would suggest xl ;)

[fragy]

which sort though? what is the sizing like , i got the large in fox it said it had to fit like a glove it felt like a shrinking rubber one

[fragy]

you read my mind xl eh?

[True Saxon]

well, i had an xl pressure suit which wasnt comfy. the arms where too long and the padding felt in the wrong place.
xl dainese fits like a glove and can wear it and not notice it that much.

i have the 661 assult suit which i would highly recommend, if the fox clothing is anything to go by there general sizes are quite small. If your lucky you could probably get the new 661 2006 pressure suit pro which has injection moulded plates for extra comfort and a lengthened back plate with pivoting plates for superior movement.

failing that the SP1 is a treat and, as far as armour goes fairly light weight and for £95 good value too

ben what sort of size would you think for me in the 661?

[fragy]

Ben also i read that you do the ufo in rasen bikes , Fish says that is also a good suit how much are they and do you have them in stock?

[Ben]

Large, the 661 has a lot of adjustable straps, Tim (at rasen bikes) is about the same build as you, he uses a Large SP1 for MX racing

i found this better pic of the 06 stuff on the 661 website

you can see from that pic the rubbery texture of the plates and wide mesh like the Dainese, i know that Chain reaction cant get it for a while yet, but i dont know what distrobuter they use, i assume MMA ltd, but i can check and see when Rasen Bikes can get it in tomorow, it usually takes two working days to arrive

we can get UFO no problem, its not something in stock, but, as like the 661 just a couple of days to come in as for sizing i am not fimilar with UFO's take on that, I am sure Mr Fish can fill you in :thumb:

[fragy]

the ufo sounds good what sort of price do you think?

[Ben]

Google is no good when trying to search for UFO armour! basically find the RRP and - 10% best to give Rasen Bikes a ring on 01673 844511 for availibility at this time of year

[mr fish]

for the ufo go for the xl or xxl from rasen bikes,mines ace, tho some of the stiching is coming undone :\ but when you crash its like falling on to a mattress :cool: well almost;)

jotted the number down going to give them a bell in the morning.
