Anyone riding with the SIXSIXONE body armor? Like one of the pressure suits? How are they fitwise and comfortwise and also do they seem like a good buy for the money? Thanks alot for the input. Wearing this stuff makes me alot more willing to clear table tops etc. Im a carpenter and have to depend on my body to make a living. I want some good protection to ride with other than just my fox knee pads and paintball elbow pads. Thanks. :smashpc:

I've worn mine religiously for over a year...
My impression....best money ever spent. I wave worn it form FL to MI in all weather. It can be a pain when your ready to take it off post ride. Hut other than that it's worth 5x it's weight in gold for protection. I hit a tree pinned in 3rd, mangled the front of my bike and trashed my helmet. didnt get so much as a bruise to my body. :smashpc:

I've worn mine 3-4 years now and it shows no signs of wear. Good pro.

For fit I just bought my normal t-shirt size. It doesn't restrict regular movement and it is very comfortable. I have a lot of confidence in it.

The best one (and also the most expensive) is the Dainese safety jacket. I use mine for off road and the back protector zips off and i wear that under leathers for the road. It really is top quality.

I have had my SP1 for two weeks now. I didn't know I had it on the first time I rode in it so I'm confident it's doing everything it should - giving me good protection without hindering my movement.

There are two versions now, the SP1 and the newer pressure suit with a hard chest protector.

Cheers

I have had mine for about 6 months now and absoloutely love it. I bailed a couple of times this season and the pressure suit saved my bacon each time. It offers lots of coverage (forearms, elbows, shoulders, chest, back, and kidney support) in one convenient jacket.

Once you get used to it, you hardly notice it's on. I also like the that I can wear my camelbak while I am wearing the 661. It can get a little warm in the peak summer heat but it does have lots of venitilation. It has been worth every cent so far! :busted:

I've been wearing mine for about 8 months now, I wont ride without it now. It is pretty comfortable and offers quite a bit of protection. I feel it has saved me a few times. It does get a little hot in the summer when you stop, but when you get wind blowing through while riding its not too bad at all.

I also have the six six one pressure suit, I have nothing bad to say about it. Its compact enough to wear under my riding jacket when its cold, and provides decent protection without feeling bulky like a plastic chest protector. I got a great deal on mine at Sierra trading post, $89.00.

I got my 661 through Sierra Trading Post for $110 about a year ago. Even at that price (compared with, what you can get them for now) well worth the money. Get the pressure suit. :thumbsup:

I dont really know what it was that I didnt like, I just felt like a gorrilla with it on. I could move and all, it just felt bulky to me. I have one with one ride on it if you want a deal on a large (I think thats the size). I think it was a great product, it just didnt click with me. I didnt like the feel of my jersey being all puffed up under it (mostly around the shoulders).

I won mine at a poker run, and it's a large. I wear a large or even XL shirt, but the suit is still really big. I've got all the adjustments as small as they will go, too. It is a very good product and great for preventing road (or dirt, i guess) burn.
