    Advice on new armour for Vanson suit

    I've got a Vanson one piece that has a T Pro back protector. I also use a strap on (HEY NOW!) T Pro chest protector.

    I''m looking to maybe upgrade the Vanson knee, shoulder, elbow, hip armour with the T pro products.

    My question is this... should I get the stuff that goes into the suit or should I get the stuff that actually straps to my body? I'm thinking the armoured pants with the arm limb tubes for upper body. Or should I just get the in suit armour? Any advice is appreciated.

    3-4 years old. Ya... it's pretty robust stuff and I'm thinking of just leaving it be.... but I have as my wife describes as a "new-itis" problem. I tend to get rid of things... just to get newer/better. I told her some day it will apply to her!

    True story. I'm the someone else that's crashing it now, and it is plain to see the Squirrel Negro crashed the hell out of it before. No idea how old it is, but it's put its time in with plenty to spare, and it's still awesome. Just a couple weeks ago I was sliding down the track into 3 in it, and man was I glad to have it. Did its job quite well.
