Thought they were only sold in Australia. I can only find them on the Australian Draggin Jeans website

The Bionic Vest has a built in Chest protector. I really like it.

I don't remember the pair I tried being that high, but maybe. I just know that they didn't fit in the waste as most don't - too big, but fit everywhere else.

Alpinestar Bionic. The shorts aren't part of my gear.






I guess a 25mph slide.

So you were wearing at-Shirt over the Bionic or...? I have the Dainese top and bottoms and they are fucking HOT!!! I'd rather wear full leathers than these fuckers with jeans and a jacket. Of course these are the old set-up. The new armor is probably better.

At the time no. I do have my textile that I took the armor out of it and it fits nicely over the bionic.

Hmm I think we sort of agree on something... I think that armor that straps to your body, like my knee armor, is more effective than armor placed in a jacket or pants.

I've been thinking of picking up a set for myself and one for the wife (especially after her low-speed get off a couple of months back) for riding to bike nights and the like.

I like the Icon stuff, but I can get dirtbike stuff for like 12 bucks. What is the Icon giving me for like 5 times the price?

If anyone wears dirtbike knee armor and/or Icon knee armor, I'd like to hear about it.
