I currently have a 661 Evo pressure suit (with the d3o bits). I’ve had it about 8 years, it stinks and it’s finished.

I’m currently thinking of:
https://www.ebay.fr/itm/Dainese-Rhyolite-2-Safety-Jacket-Bike-MTB-Sicherheitsjacke-Schutzweste/362308197959?hash=item545b405e47:m:mYPi1akHcHS3htHDTKWsG0Q
Or maybe the poc one but it’s more money.

Any recommendations to replace this would be great!

(Alternatively if anyone has seen any deals in xl that would be good too)

Thanks
Paul

My mate has just bought the Fox Titan but not used it yet. It looked well fitted and offered a lot of protection.

Knox Urbane with the level II elbows added. Shits all over Fox or D30 soft armour, especially in the cold as the armour stays softer. Can add add a soft chest armour upgrade as well if needed.

Tried biological washing powder or halo? You’d be amazed at what it can do to body armour... I left mine soaking wet after an alps trip a couple of years ago until a month later, I thought it was fit for the bin but I tried some bio powder and was amazed! Still going now!

Thanks, but I live in the alpes and have had it 7 years, it’s had it’s use (so much the kidney belt has fell off).

That Knox stuff looks good but too hot
