[QUOTE="FastJoyRide, post: 758879, member: 289"] Ditto the comments on CyclePort gear above. When we picked up our suits in Escondido we also got a tour and lots more info about their design philosophy. There are huge armour pieces protecting the thighs (Part of what requires a break-in period so that these comfortably mold to your body). Apparently the thigh bone is over-involved in serious m/c crashes and while it is relatively hard to break, when in does it will often create massive local bleeding that on-site first aid is unlikely to be able to control. I can't tell you how many "cute" comments we got in the last 3 weeks at virtually every stop: "you two expecting snow?"; "isn't all the gear too hot?"; etc. We just consider the sources: usually do-rag wearing, unhelmeted cruiser riders in wife beaters with dime store sunglasses as their only eye protection, no gloves etc. Sigh... We thought long and hard about shelling out that much dough for the custom CyclePort gear but we decided our lives were worth it. [/QUOTE]
