Title: Hip Armor?
Post by: Triple J on May 08, 2009, 11:43:44 AM
Where do you guys get hip armor for your track suits? I need some for my Dainese suit and the only stuff i can find on-line are the foam pieces from Vanson.  :-\

That's what I want...but where'd you get it? I can't find an on-line delaer with hip armor, and I haven't seen it locally at any of the shops.  :'(

I got it at Scuderia West here in SF.  Give them a call.  They're SUPER helpful.  Or you could order online from Johnson's Leathers (the distributor) here and have them ship it.   Here's Johnson's online:  http://www.johnsonleather.com/type-b_limbs.htm (http://www.johnsonleather.com/type-b_limbs.htm)

Hell, if you're having real trouble, I can pick some up and send it to you.

You might want to check out Dainese Pro Shorts.

They have hard Armor in the Thighs  w, foam underneath .

Also they have a hard Tailbone piece with foam under it too.

They are wide mesh and have 2 zippers and a soft chmois like crotch and 2 foam Hip areas.



Also Bohn Armor Shorts have all kinds of Armor for the Hip, Thigh, Tailbone and Butt areas.

They are Lycra .       Dolph      :)
