How is the new bike going Usi, you happy with it.

Must have a few klm on it now, wish I could make this ride, maybe the next one.

Down low is the way to go Snowy, I have a roof tent on my trailer and its a bitch to get in and out of, especially in the middle of the night after a few beers.

Plenty of room in them just too high, we use it as a family camper and I send my kids up there to sleep and the wife and I downstairs in our trailer.

If you can mount the rooftent down low on your trailer and add an awning on the side for an annex type situation for cooking and eating etc, in my opinion is a better way to go.

Just to dust this topic off again, I bought a Leatt ‘GPX Trail’ (new version of the Adventure).
My old “Thor Impact Rig” has been great but is now well and truly past it. Question being has anyone used the Leatt pressure suit type armour? I have done some research on it and a few people are saying it the armour panels fall off, the jacket material it-self tears when the velcro touches it and the zips used on sleeves etc are sheit (according to the online reviews). So anyone who has this Leatt suit, what do you think? Or anyone who has a Leatt brace using it with any other pressure suit armour how does it go?

Thanks, B.W.

Hey B.W.
I too have the same neckbrace and was able to make it work with my klim suit by cutting out a section of the backpad, but I went and bought myself the forcefield body armour so I could just wear a jersey on hotter days, I think it may be called the extreme adventure harness or something like that, not sure anyway
the armours great, nice and tough, no damage or faults to complain of although its hot in summer which unfortunately is what I was trying to avoid with the jacket in the first place.
Also I have ditched the neckbrace as the singlet type shape of the armour seems to push the brace up to high, not allowing me to turn my head that well but in saying that if you have a longer neck than I do, it sits over the armour quite well.You could also try the brace underneath but might just be a bit of friggin around adjusting all the Velcro attachments every time you put it on, I leave mine fastened together and the brace doesn’t work over the top of the armour for me.
