So after a summer in the woods with the DR I've made a few personal discoveries:
- Riding a dual sport in the woods is so fun I almost forgot about getting zero track days this year
- My noob fear has ebbed, I'm getting comfortable enough to start being dangerous(er) to myself
- I'll eventually bite it hard(er), get a stick in the chest, impaled on rocks, etc.
- T-shirt isn't going to cut it any more
Looking for some good armor to protect the vitals (chest/ribs/back/shoulders) and maybe some pants for the knees/shins. Something I could wear all day, have pretty good range of movement/low bulk and maybe put a jacket over for longer/multiday trips.
What's the good stuff to look at? Anyone have experience with armored jackets for trail use or is there just no replacement for a full MX-style chest protector?
