Wow! That's a great story.
I have had my off the shelf Vanson suit for about 6 years now. Many crashes (about 20 at least). A couple of years ago I brought a now ragged side of cow in to Vanson to repair free (open house deal) and walked out that afternoon with virtually a new suit.
I do feel it is a bit heavy and a little cumbersome. Also, the armour won't stop folding over and the zippers can get stuck sometimes. The main thing is I have never had a cut or graze in all those crashes.
I always lusted after a high-end Dianese, someday maybe.
