Ive got £150 worth of infinity vouchers that i need to use before they expire in a few months and im trying to decide which body armour i should get for trackdays and greenlaning/enduro use
I have the forcefield pro shirt which I use for everything on the bike - it’s great for greenlaning, super comfortable and light, and good in hot conditions. I basically wear it with waterproofs and/or another bike jacket which I’ve removed the armor from (the forcefield armor is super). Only downside is that the zip is a bit crap / fiddly because of the elastic material.
The protection on the extreme does look a lot better - specifically the chest and back has a lot more coverage - keep in mind these harnesses can be a pain in the ass to put on sometimes, and probably not something you would to want to wear for just popping down to the shops (where as you can with the pro shirt as it’s easy to put on). I doubt the extreme is as comfy either.
I think the forcefield pro shirt is good enough for greenlaning - the newer one seems to have thicker armor as well (or it might be a different version…). I don’t think I would want to wear it for a track day though, as I would would more lower-back protection.
