Well i recieved my Fox airframe roost deflector and a pair of EVS knee/shin guards.
First the airframe. Well let me say that this is my 1st roost protector i have ever had so this might be a biased review but i will try to give the most info i can.
Fit: Well i am a lightweight. 5'9 at 138. I tightened everything up as much as possible and it is still a TAD big.
Finish : This is a beatuiful piece of equipment. I really didnt notice that i had it on when i was riding except for the shoulder guards were "flappin" well not really flaaping, but hitting my shoulders when i took a jump so i noticed that. No biggie.
Protection : I opted to take the forearm guards off just because i did not like how they felt. They felt to restrictive to me. Just my personal choice. But over all it protect my chest and back very well, actually excellent
Great roost deflector..I would reccomend it to any one. By the way i have the siver one.
EVS kne/Shin guards
Well, i didnt want braces, just because i couldnt afford them. I would rather have something then nothing so i went with these. They are the Gary Baily version not the Travis Pastrana version.
Fit : Well the fit is pretty good, but there is one problem that i noticed.. The top strap that goes behind your knee. (Not directly behing the knee but above you knee in back of your leg) digs into your skin when you are riding and it HURTS. I had to take them off they hury so bad. I think i have found a solution though. I took a pair of old tube socks and cut them so that i can slip the sock arounf my knee and cover the area where the strap is. I will tell you how this works out next week after i go riding.
Finish : Good, it a knee/shin guard like i was expecting. i was not looking for Asterisk fit and finish but it is good.
Protection Great, i feel very secure know knowing that i have protection on my knees. Platics cup for the knee. Then i believe a plastic slab (i am not sure of the technical term for it) but it feels strong.
Sorry for any mis-spelled words.
