Body armour

Thinking about buying some body armour to wear under a hoody/t-shirt in the summer and wondered what stuff is suitable for a sportsbike. To qualify that I'm not sure if the different posture from motocross requires a different style.

Make a change from 2-piece leathers and could wear with kevlar jeans/combats.

The Hein Gericke stuff is too pricey - I'm thinking sub-£70 if possible.

Anyone recommend a brand or ebay supplier? There's tons on ebay both new and second-hand.

Thanks.

have a look at:
alpine stars SP vest
Acerbis koerta deflector
Alpinestars Bionic 2 Protection Jacket
alpine stars freeride shorts.

i got the bionic2,the freeride shorts,and some knee armour,but havent used them yet so cant comment on comfort.
Theyre super ventilated,well made,and i`d trust them to do the job if i had a spill.
