Armour

Just wondering What every one is using under their Barbour/Belstaff or other non armoured jackets? I seem to remember reading a few years back about light weight mesh under jackets with built in rlbow and shoulder armour. I've looked on the internet and only see Batman style full armour which would be way too bulky :?

If you are still struggling to get into the Barbour jacket you bought in your 20's, yup might be tight.

Adventure tourers - whatever you think that may mean - seem quite keen on ATGATT, so check out http://advrider.com/index.php

Sadly not an old jacket but a new one bought in the 'black friday' sales the other week. That one might fit the bill
Thanks

Was at the motorcycle show NEC a week back and there's a new material that's much superior to Kevlar, which is rip and graze proof. Can't remember what it's called ......not armour I know but it all helps. I have Kevlar lined jeans and gloves.

I might be off target here but why not just buy a proper jacket and trousers that are for the job intended?

Santa's bringing me this for summer wear or under a non armoured jacket. A bit longer than the lighter knox shirt.

Tucano Urbano do some great looking kit with removable armour AND a nice warm liner.
