I like the Klim stuff but they don't make sizes for fat old guys :lol2:
I've been eying these over on Whitehorse. They would be perfect if they had leather liners on the inside of the legs - but then I could add that.
Fits me, so should fit just about anyone.

I have an MX style chest protector, and they're great for exactly two kinds of falls: directly on your chest, or directly on your back. IMHO the pressure suits do better by incorporating the elbow pads and adding some additional padding to the other vulnerable areas. One thing a chest protector does well is that you can add a neck roll for some neck protection, but nearly as much as a Leatt

The downside to the pressure suits is that if you're not the right size or shape, they don't work.

If you get a set of Knee/shin guards that go in the boot, this will help with the calf fit also.
I have a bulky set of knee/shin guards from my BMX days...I'll give them a shot. Thanks :thumbup:
