I can't believe I never considered these armor pieces before. I will be looking to get the leg pieces and shorts for this riding season. I'm an Icon fan as well, got a helmet and riding gloves from them, good stuff. One of the best posts ever Steve. I can’t believe I never considered these armor pieces before.

If you already use an armored jacket, the leg armor would make a nice companion. I think as far as low speed "boo-boos" go, the knees, hands, elbows and forearms are the first to get 'em. <br/><br/>I've heard the vest will fit the female figure nicely as well, but I would suggest trying it on to be sure. There are a couple of factors that will let you know if the Vest will work for you or not... if you know what I mean.<br/><br/>Casey! Good idea, but the chest plate is actually more of a flexible rubber... so you might not get the result you'd want in that case. :(<br/><br/>Genwaylaid! It's true that good old exterior armor is easier to manage... just slide it on or off. No elastic or velcro to adjust. No clothes to remove. This may work better for a stunt person or someone trying to avoid the football-padding look that you can get from some jackets and pants.<br/><br/>You <i>could</i> strap the vest and arm protection to the outside of your dress shirt and put your sportcoat on top, but you'd be in for some serious wrinkles. The leg pieces could probably be put on or taken off without removing your trousers, as long as your pants legs don't taper.<br/><br/>You WOULD look rather dapper riding your scooter around with no visible armor, just your jacket, slacks and tie... and helmet & gloves of course.
