Riding pants, knee + elbow guards ?
#12
I'm leaning towards the Thor chest protector because of my wide shoulders and the comments about the ACR not fitting very well in that area, plus its only 20 bucks more... I'm gonna keep doing research (and hearing you guys' wonderful opinions) and pull the trigger hopefully this week at some point.

Thor Squadron pants. I prefer the over the boot design and the zip off lowers are great for the sand dunes or when the heat get over 40oC. The leather on the inside of the right leg is super thick too.
Realistically, whatever is on runout, the cheaper the better.

Thor pants/jersey is out, its a bit high... I checked MCSS but they didn't have much of anything on clearance, at least not in a 36 waist.
For the protective stuff I'm kinda liking the Thor Sector knee/shin, and the Quartex (sp?) for the arms.
Leaning heavily to the Answer Syncron stuff... pretty affordable. I can get pants, jersey, gloves, and the Thor protection stuff for ~$115, not too bad. Still looking for opinions, please keep them coming! Thanks so much again!

Using the Thor Quadrant chest protector, but also have the Nemesis racing body armor. The nemesis provides more protection, is more comfortable, but gets kind of hot.
Have used the A.R.C. Pro-Flex Knee/Shin Guards and also the Shift 09 Enforcer Knee/Shin Guards. The ARC guards fit in the boots better, but overall like the cheaper Shift guards.
The three places that I usually compare prices at are RMATV, Motorcycle Superstore, and Motosport.
Another thing to consider is a neck brace. I lawn darted myself head first into a corner the other day and am fairly sure that there would have been some neck damage without it. I broke the visor off my helmet and the brace bruised both of my collar bones, but kept my neck from compressing.
Good Luck.

So the Answer pants don't have any foam inside of the pants? I tried on my dad's Shift pants (too small for me ) and they have this neat foam padding inside.
Looking hard at the EVS shin/knee guards and elbow guards... a friend of mine uses them and he says they are good, lots of adjustability. I've been working out alot, and while I'm no Arnold, my arms are getting bigger. The Thor chest protector is looking mighty nice, too. Now I just need to figure out the pants/jersey...
