Does anyone wear this stuff?

http://www.mxsouth.com/oneal/onlchsz5.htm

I'm looking for some good protection, I'll be on trails 90% of my riding time. Curious if this stuff would be comfortable enough to wear for long rides.

MXSouth has the Azonic armor listed under O'Neal also, not sure if that's a mistake or if they're both made by the same company. The funny thing is that it's cheaper if you click on the O'Neal link... heh...

Thanks!

-Eric

Pssst... Azonic and O'Neal are the same company. I know Jeremy Wilkey wears/wore one and likes/liked it a lot.

MXSouth has it for $179 if you click on the O'Neal link and $199 if you click on the Azonic link... hehe...

I figured they were the same company, but I wasn't sure. :)

I'll try to find one locally to try on, it looks like what I had in mind for protection.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a chest protector and elbow guards? Looks like the same thing to me.

Most normal chest protectors don't have as much back protection as this one. Plus it has a built in kidney belt. I'm sure you could come pretty close buying seperates, but I'd rather just buy the package deal.
