My wife has leg and elbow pads but now fancies some full upper protection as she wants to try a bit harder on her big hit. Only thing I found online was snowboarding stuff which would be ok possibly.

There's a few people who do it.

My SO has a Rockgarden one, IXS do one too.

Have a poke through the CRC body armour section.

I didn't look hard enough, cheers. Seems to be just the IXS one now.

She's always saying I should buy her some flowers.
I must be rubbish, can't find any rockgarden ladies stuff online.

My Mrs uses the Alpinestars womens specific, which she finds is probably the best of a bad bunch.

Ordered it yesterday, hope it fits in all the right bits. Anyway it has the flowers on it by the looks so should be ok.
Thanks for your replies.

We just got an email from crc saying they have had to cancel our order for the RockGardn Lady Flak Jacket body armour, will have to look elsewhere and possibly pay full price.
