661 and dainese would be names to follow but that said they all have to live up to a set standard, after that its going to be reading reviews type thing, personal opinions, word of mouth and price

personal opinions, word of mouth and price

These are my top 3

Hence why I tend to ask here as well as googling the interweb. . .

From what I have read on the internerd,

POC are making some nice and stylish gear , they come from a skiing background, but I would also look at Dainese , fundamentally motorcycling gear, top quality stuff, I used their back protector , jackets & gloves for years

Was an Alpinestars fan on the motorbikes. . really wish the paramedics hadn't sliced my jacket into pieces...

Will check out dainese.. needs to be rigid too..

I tried to sell my Dainese back protector on here ,

Ended up on e-bay, I would rather have given it away here, ebay annoys the life outta me! :roll:

it was rigid, i think my photos are still up on the advert mate, they are nice

My friends use POC - and it seems like good kit to me, although they do say it is quite a tight fit. I found them a bit restrictive, but I don't know what size ranges they do

I'm still using my oldskool Hard Nox shin/knees that I was using years ago. One day I'll replace them, but they have become like a faithful friend...

661 fer me............ye may want to look at their Veggie wraps, flexible layered neoprene as opposed to plastic armour- probably a bit more comfortable.
