Body Armour
My 5-6 year old EVS body armour suit is sagging worse than my granny.
So need a bit of direction.Has anyone got or used the EVS G6 Ballistic Jersey,Fox Air Cage,Thor impact rig or the Leatt 3DF Airfit. The Leatt 3DF is interesting but know no one who has used it.

I bought the Leatt fusion 3.0 earlier this year and love it. I had never worn a neck brace before and I was worried it might me too restrictive but, I don't even notice it. It's a bit pricey if you already have a brace but, it less than buying a brace and chest protector separately.

I have the G6. Its got great protection and I like the lumbar support I get wearing it but there are some draw backs.
1. Its not a hot weather item, it does not breathe. I wore it for a riding trip once this Spring but I wont put it on riding my local trails in the summer time. 2. I could not wear it under my jersey without an under shirt which only adds to the body heat issue. Maybe you could, but I couldn't. So over my jersey it went. I felt I looked something like Batman - all black and covered in body armor, all I needed was my cape! 3. It has thumb holes to help keep the cuff in place but my arms are longer and the seam dug into my palm so I don't use them. 4. It has a pocket for a EVS hydration pack but I have yet to purchase that as the capacity I believe is smaller than the Camel back I've used, and I usually suck that dry quickly.

I tried the 661 pressure suit but it was too hot. I keep going back to the AXO air cage. it's made with wide fish net material that breathes the best that I've found.

Thanks Guys,
Forgot to mention I have an Omega neck brace which may rule out the Leatt fusion. Good points on the G6.No problem with looking like Batman (lumpy Batman) but I overheat on a cloudy day. The Air Cage looks a nice bit of kit.Can you wear it without an undershirt/base layer? Anyone got any negatives with it? Any word on the Leatt 3DF magic soft armour?
