Posted: 13:40 - 29 Jan 2017 Post subject: Dainese City Guard Armoured Jacket |
|
|
I've been pondering over buying one of these lately. Has anyone else got one? If so, what do you think?
According to the product description, it's an armoured jacket that can be worn under none motorcycle specific clothing, or as a standalone armoured jacket on its own. It looks fairly close fitting so I'm guessing the armour will be comfortable and offer good protection in a fall. On top of this, they are supposed to offer excellent airflow so would be great in Summer. I'm guessing it must also offer reasonable abrasion assistance seeing as though it's the only jacket of its type which the manufacturer suggests can be worn on its own? ____________________ 2004 SV650S >>> 2009 Street Triple R |

Oh I see, I thought it was crash protection, not city body amour, for fending off thieving scum
As always tho safety is personal, best mitigation is to ride sympathically but with confidence, I guess, part of that is a feeling of confidence in your gear.
It's all a roll of a dice, I was there when my mate fell about 18 foot from a roof landed on his back on concrete slabs and winded himself. Then a guy down the street, fell 3 foot of a board and potatoes himself from the neck down. ____________________ ybr125 Sold, GSF600 K1 Bandit (For Sale), FJR13000 gen2. |

As Doink I have a similar mesh under armour that I wear either on long runs, or under a denim jacket during the summer.
I not actually had an a off wearing it, but the spine protection particularly makes me feel better.
bTW. Did anyone else open this hoping it was the sort of thing that Vmes would wear?

I was getting some quotes through Confused the other night (I use them as they have the least annoying TV ads), and they sent me a promo code for the Manchester store. Confused15 for 15% off (not sure of the terms etc.), might be of use for someone, not the OP as that jackets not on sale with them. |
