    Man I am going mad here. Can the rubber "just like that" disintegrate into pieces, I mean the armor? I mean some sellers even stack jackets that are more than a year old, right and still sell it

    How did the foam protectors go into pieces man, really, astonished . Why don't you explain that a little bit more, please.

    Look good.
    Something better than nothing!
    Has anyone tried these?
    how good are these?
    I think these are meant for cycling and definitely not meant for motorcycling. They look like arm elbow guards just with foam I guess.
    Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
    The girl said, 'NO!'


    And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.


    THE END

      Yeah they are filled with foam.
      May be for cycling & other sports.
      yesterday I jumped from my bed with this stuff on my knee, nothing happened. But I am sure this will not have abrasion resistance.
      only thing in favor of these is that its better than nothing

          Wow, now thats what i call leap of faith, pretty bold move mate.
          And yes you guessed right, it wont provide abrasion resistence, so better to start saving up and invest in quality gear.

            Those are meant for a skating rink, on tarmac they will shred like cheese, better get something real.

                      • List of Knee Guards - Price - Authencity - Source

                        Hi Guys,
                        I would be buying the knee guard this week.
                        Though there are various options available in & outside India, Is there any list which states the various options available?
                        If not, can you put up the options here?
                        For instance -
                        1. A* - 5250 - Authentic - Planet DSG

                        • Is Joe Rocket Alter Ego 3.0 really worth its price? I haven't seen other jackets yet. This will be my first jacket. I have only checked out few jackets from Joe Rocket.

                          I will be checking out other brands like DSG, Cramster and the likes this coming weekend. Any other brands to look out for which has good looks and good safety ratings as well ? may be around 10K mark ?
                          Cheers,
