Just as the title states, im looking for maybe some under armor i can wear beneath my textile jacket. i did a quick search and found mixed reviews on that ICON field armor vest. personally im looking for more shoulder protection and something more snug for my elbows. I dont stunt or do wheelies, just looking for more protection in case i go down in the twisties..

go into some bike shops and try on a bunch of different brands, see what feels and fits you best

nice. do you wear that under your jacket?

Bohn makes some pretty good stuff so I hear. I think they're the ones that always advertise in the back of the magazines. They have this thing that looks like a spandex wetsuit with hard armor built in. Keep in mind you'll get impact protection but not abrasion protection.

yes...I wear it under both my textile and my Joe Rocket leather jacket (removed the jkt armor)..it works very well...

i think i may go with this. comes with a back protector too

looks good..the velocity armor comes with a back protector too..I like it becauase it detaches and I use just the back protector with my 1 piece suit

i just checked out the ICON field armor vest piece for the first time and i wasnt impressed. the only decent part about it was the back protector piece. the front chest piece had very little padding. I tried on the regular size (comes in reg & XL) and it still felt like a small...but then again it is a vest, so maybe that's how it's suppose to fit. I guess for $75 it's not a horrible deal but i would rather spend extra $$ for better armor. I would rate it 5.5/10

Alot of guys wear those here, just over there tank tops. I guess they are not worried about there arms..
