Duration Product Used:
1 Year
Price Paid:
$125.00
Strengths:
Very light and slim fitting. Once you put a jersey on over it, it is not very noticeable. Padding is where you need it. Thumb holes keep sleeves in place. Vented mesh material keeps you cool. Removable back protector.
Weaknesses:
With the 2007, the chest part and the kidney belt are separate.(where as with the '08 model, they are attached which is nice.)
Similar Products Used:
Fox Launch Suit
Bottom Line:
I like it better than the Fox suit. Lighter, cooler, and more slim fitting. Very durable too
