Dear DirtyBarfBastages,
Roost guard or full-ce-rated -fishnet-armor-jackets
boots, how cheap is too cheap?
------------------------------------------------------------
While at cyclegear today i was browsing, checking out the dirt side ( never been to this side). I just aquired a dirt bike and was looking at prices and gear i might need.
I was perplexed while looking at "roost guards" . To me it seem it is a bunch of plastic pieces held together by a few straps. Behind the plastic wasn't much "shock absorbing" material. Why is that??
I then look over to the "full armor" suits, you know the ones held together by fishnet. Why don't dirt rider wear these instead? In the even of a fall, id take one of these over a roost guard. Why do i see most dirt riders wearing roost guards and not these? Do they have armor underneath their roost guards that i don't see? If so what is it?
Yes, i understand be pelted by somesones rooster tail sucks. However the full-ce-rated-armo-jackets look like they offer a decent amount of protection as well.
Then i went to look at boots. Tech 3, 7, 8, 10. Is the 7 that much better then the 3? And is the 10 that much better then the 7? Does that mean tech 3's are basically bare bones entry level boots? If so, what makes an entry level boots different from the higher end stuff?
Thank you much,
~Dave
