661 Pressure Suit
[image: http://pricepoint.com/media/661_PressureSuitGray.jpg] Is that paranoia? A buddy's muni caused arm fracture in austin last sunday has inspired me to get arm protection or elbow pads at the very least for rocky muni rides. i came across 'this' (http://pricepoint.com/product2108.html) at pricepoint.com Does anyone have one? I imagine it's too hot even in a texas winter. -- onefiftyfour - Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------ onefiftyfour's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/3495 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/27272 |

So, are you planning on swordfighting on your uni? That armour looks really cool, but I don't know if unicyclists would actually need that much protection, since we don't get the high speeds or height of bikers. That would be great for a Halloween costume, though. -- paco - Creator of the "BUni" "One thing is for sure. Inspector Clay is dead. Murdered.

no way. All you need is shin guards gloves and a helmet. I always thought it would be good to buy some arm guards but have never had a problem with it. THat suit might give you more currage but I wouldn't want to spend the money on currage, just go see the Wizard.

For arm protection I would just go with something like 661 2x4's or roach DH arms. Something like 'This' (http://tinyurl.com/kk5y) might be better for those of you who prefer to avoid heat. they are also pretty cheap. -- Max_Dingemans - Hey Look, who's that?

After collapsing a lung, I think some kind of chest armor is a good idea for certain people (tall and skinny) on certain terrain (like icy stairs), though this looks a bit extreme. 661 makes some less medieval armor that looks more appropriate for muni. http://www.unicycle.com/Shopping/shopexd.asp?id=534 -- gbarnes George C.
