Cheap body armour

Wow, those things are usually at least $100 at best. Not sure of the brand, but the pic looks decent. Let us know if you can tell any brand when it comes in and how the quality looks. I have a 661 pressure suit similar to that, but I can only wear it in really cool weather.

That one looks pretty identical to the fox titan armour I have, only with out the FOX branding. I really like mine and is pretty good + confidence boost. does get a little warm when its really hot.. but riding faster fixes that.
I don’t use the back brace only mine because I use a zac speed back pack and it has a brace built into it. I removed the kidney belt and tail bone support from the main back protector as I liked that……
All in all if is the same as the FOX one and i think it is as it looks almost identical you’ll be happy with it....

Thanks for the info, I figured for 60 bucks with shipping it was worth a shot. I was hoping it would be good for my Idaho trip this year. I thought it would have pretty good venting.

Well figured I would give the update...I got it in 10 days...and it looks pretty good. I compared it to my buddys thor impact rig se and for the price this is not bad at all. I haven't tried it on the trail yet but the armor seems solid. The size I usually wear is xl in t-shirts and I ordered the xxl and it fits good for placement of the pads but a little tight on the old beer gut for the kidney belt. I am 5'11 195 pounds.
The only issue I can see so far is the thing is made all out of mesh and I am concerned about it ripping after time. At the sleeves for sure where it has the part that comes down over you thumb. But time will tell and all in all where the others are a fair bit more in price I am happy at this point. Oh and also it seems really comfortable and you can even put a t-shirt over it.
