11/19/2024 8:40am No fear is the "same" as modern protectors, lying on your shoulders, thats why it did not protect them. HRP shoulder protector floating over the shoulder, so it can work like a spring, just look this huge gap: Btw anyone know about leatt mission protector jacket? https://www.24mx.com/product/leatt-mission-body-protector-graphene_pid-… Its just 90 usd and says CE level 2. Scam? Could I wear...

11/18/2024 12:23pm I also thought about hockey/football shoulder pads, but in that sport, people collide frontal, which is what shoulder pads are designed for. If you hit a tree frontal with a bike, and the impact hits your shoulder first, then it is certainly good. What do you think about this?

11/18/2024 4:27am What do you use and what are your experiences with it? Aren't they too hot in the summer? Are they comfortable?

11/18/2024 1:16am Yeah i see now. You have no bruise under the shoulder protector. The hrp suspended protector worked perfectly. My guess: shoulder protector get hit, it is flexible, so it wants to expand, but the suspended part prevents this and in the meantime receives tension and transfers it to the chest protector. So, as long as the shoulder protector doesn't get...

11/17/2024 12:59pm I saw your post in another topic, glad you were lucky. And what do you think would have happened to your shoulder if you were wearing a leatt 6.5 protectorjacket? Btw your hrp looks really worn, if it is opal colored, it is much weaker, maybe if it was new it wouldn't crack and save your shoulder.

Never broke a collar bone or hurt my shoulders. Probably lucky like wreckitrandy said. My HRP Flak Jak I got for my 16th birthday in 86. And the upgrade I made in 2003. You get used to wearing shoulder pads and you feel vulnerable when you don't. When a guy used my upper arm for a berm once and ripped the upper arm guard off, I took the opposite side off so I didn't look like a goof and I decided I liked the freedom of mobility. So that was the first thing i did when i got the MSR's.

11/17/2024 9:40am Thank you so much for the answers! I readed many different opinions about the suspended shoulder protection, so ig the best i can do is listen to those who have worn both for a long time and have injured in both. So what do you guys think, should i get a modern CE level 2 or go for the suspended...

11/17/2024 8:55am I hope you are fine now! Did you fall on your shoulder or what happened, hrp cracked too?

11/17/2024 8:43am If you fall on your shoulder with your full body weight, will it protect you? What do you think? How effective is it compare modern ce level 2 protectors like leatt 6.5 and other high end ones? Peoples told me that the suspended protector doesnt help you and the modern stuffs are much better. " A lot of collar bone...

zfer Added a reply to Best shoulder protection? Zero7 IDX1 or should i get hockey/football pads?
11/11/2024 3:44pm It seems to me that shoulder dislocations are easy to avoid with it, the energy goes into the chest protector. The suspension prevents the top of your shoulders from hitting the ground. This is just my guess, don't expect too much from me, I have no experience. Maybe someone with experience will write and convince you guys.

11/11/2024 3:26pm Are you totally sure? I read a lot of reviews here, and those who used the most modern protective stuffs wrote that there is no effective protection for the shoulders. However, some people have posted that the suspended shoulder pads took a huge hit when they fell on their shoulders. I was just reading a post today where a person...

11/11/2024 1:31pm My friend, what you think, how will a 2 cm thick supermodern material help you if you land on your shoulder first? Maybe will reduce the G force by 0,5%. Better if its suspended, so it can lead most of the energy to the chest protector. mx317 : I know the HRP, nice one, but sadly not availabe in my...

11/11/2024 12:41pm Hi! This looks really impressive https://www.dirtrider.com/tests/gear/141_1101_jett_america_zero_idx1_mx… I am sure its provide a lot of protection if i land on my shoulder due the high suspension, prob this is the highest, so it will absorb huge amount of energy. But what if for example hit a tree horizontally? I will ride in winter, mud and ice, narrow path, trees around. Planning...
