Beta rev'3 Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Has anyone tried the jitsie protective gear and what's it like to ride in ? Thanks in advance Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdog Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 Just the knee/shin guards. Don’t even notice them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted November 11, 2018 Report Share Posted November 11, 2018 What Timdog said. I got elbow pads a month back. They're not as inconspicuous as the kneepads when walking about, but unnoticeable while riding, they don't restrict movement or move about. I throw both in the washer and they're holding up well.

NAD1 Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 My son wears the chest / back protector, never had any issues, very felxible and stretchy and doesn't hinder his riding at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such endearing qualities in your reference to her who must be obeyed. No saucepans as a big present this year then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta rev'3 Posted December 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2018 Well just a quick update on the Jitsie protective stuff, "She that must be obeyed" actually did as she was told for once and got me the right gear...what's even more surprising is it's also the right size... I ended up getting the elbow protectors and the long knee/Shin Protectors, very impressed with them comfy to wear and can't tell your riding with them on...I'm only a dolloper but yes I'd buy them again for sure. Great bit of Kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How big are your arms etc? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta rev'3 Posted December 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2018 The fit is very good on both elbow and knee, there is a sizing chart to go off, I'm 6ft and 90kg just regular I guess... if you stick to the measurement guides I think you will be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beta rev'3 Posted January 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 So after a reasonably impressive off at the top of a step at weekend, Not sure whether it was the shock of actually getting up it but stupidly I wasn't covering the back brake and looped the bike, with me and the bike back at the bottom of the step where I started from with it on top of me.. I'm buying some back armour seeing as all of the rest of me escaped major pain thanks to knee and elbow protection I've looked at the Hebo XTR and the forcefield but there are quite a few versions ? Any pro's cons with either ? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 I have the Jitsie knee/shin pads and they are brilliant. So if that's anything to go by and I was looking for back armour I think would go for Jitsie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
