Body Armor

     Ok by now you’ve probably gotten yourself a riding jacket and pants, then the next thing for you to want with that cool jacket and riding pants is body armor. Well first off having body armor won’t protect you from bullets or be like superman but it does help you stay protected during times of accidents. Body armor protects you from having fatal injuries during crashes and is a must for all riders to have. They protect the upper part of the body which usually where your vital organs are located. Some jackets and pants come with their own armor attached to vital impact areas. Choose a body armor that is CE approved. A CE marked product means that a manufacturer has been able to prove that the product has passed the appropriate quality assurance tests.

Body Armor by Knox

     There are lots of body armor to choose from and they can be integrated on your riding jackets and some even offer spine protection. It is up to you to choose whatever design you like but for me I prefer those designs which are aerodynamic and light as it tends to be quite hot in our location here in the tropics. You should try the body armor on when shopping and see to it that it doesn’t restrict any of your movements. Remember your no superman with that body armor so do ride safely.
