Don't think I've ever been so on the fence about ordering something
Hot day .. Racer ..
Predicted wipe out day - Racer with 7855 or 5955 over the top... Moving more to 7855 over the top rather than the 5955 for better area coverage.
Scott ?? It's a bit like a Racer with better elbows and chest ? Almost everything I've been looking for (once I reduced my armoured area requirement) .. But I'm now heading back towards that all over protection from the 7855 when I'm in guaranteed crash mode and the Scott doesn't give that .. and is that Scott chest going to be hot on an MTB ?
Wish I knew what the DH peeps were wearing in leogang. Most looked like they covered the whole back, the whole chest, full width from the collar bones down. A lot of the arms and I think nearly everyone even had elbow protection which also covered 2/3 of the forearm. Maybe there's a Bloke/Seamstress with a large pile of foam and cardboard at the top who just cuts things to fit and glues them on all over as riders depart. It might be what they have on is completely impractical to wear for more than 5 minutes though.
