T-Pro Armour through Blue Streak Racing
I cannot talk enough about protective gear, especially when it comes to the worlds of off-road and street bike riding. I have been testing out a high-quality body armour suit called the Extreme Harness Adventure made by Tpro Forcefield Armour and distributed by Blue Streak Racing (Johnson's Leather in the USA and sold at Cycle Sector www.cyclesector.com.) This full-body armour is very comfortable and comes with a chest and back piece with a kidney belt attached, removable shoulder plates and removable elbow pads. The nice thing about this armour is that there is no mesh holding it together, which makes it a lot lighter, less restrictive and it is also breathable, which is key in a sport like motocross or trail riding.
The shoulder and elbow attachments are connected to the chest piece by two layers of Velcro for security. There are absolutely no hard buckles, fasteners or studs holding this armour together, which makes it completely adjustable to fit you perfectly. This Extreme Harness is made of nitrex, which allows the armour to be flexible and form to your body shape. Nitrex is a high-tech shock-absorbing material that is combined with thick and lightweight layers of nitrile to disperse the force of the impact over the entire surface area, instead of one single area. I am sure that most of you have found that plastic chest protectors end up breaking over time and after multiple impacts either from the ground, the gear bag you shove it into, or just from getting nailed in the chest by a few rocks. This Tpro Armour is made up of Repeat Performance Technology, which allows multiple hard impacts without destroying the product or bringing the life quality of the product down.
I got the chance to get out on a street bike the other day and decided to test out how my body armour would feel. Surprisingly it was more comfortable than even wearing a Tec-style street jacket because of how it molded to my body shape after the first 20 minutes or so. This product is very high end but it is totally worth the buy, so check them out online at www.cyclesector.com and have a look for yourself at all the different models they have within Tpro Armour.
