Default Is this a good deal??? 2 piece suit on CL

The guy is holding this stuff for me, but I need HT's opinion. The boots are a TAAAD too big for me, which I may sell to buy a size smaller. Everything is in great shape- I checked it out today. The jacket does not have elbow or shoulder armor however. Let me know!!! Or, if there is a comparable one for cheaper.

I'm getting ride of my Astar leather jacket, Joe Rocket textile jacket, and need to rock this jacket for the daily, and then attach for trackdays.

it's not bad. but the jacket is no good w/o CE armor. also, things don't fit you well, so if it were me, i'd look elsewhere.

i picked up my 2pc for 250. it's ugly, but it's A* pants w/ JR blaster 3.0 jacket. my SMX+'s i got for $100, and my gloves for $80. But it took me a while to piece it all together, and i don't even really wear my 2pc anymore.

everything fits me perfect except for the boots. The gloves are just an added bonus. I already have A* gloves for track and street.

I found this...CE rated in shoulder, knees, and elbows. And optional back piece. Not bad for 480!!

From my personal experience with my Cortech 2 piece suit...having the shoulder armor pretty much saved me....if you high side...(like i just did on saturday) and get thrown in the air...that padding saves a lot...of course i was sore...but hell...i didn't dislocate my shoulder or break my colar bone like i could have if i didn't have the armor there...

Just my .02 from personal experience.
