not tried that but looks similar to the 661 stuff ... tight fittting so you need to be double jointed to get it on/off, that has a zip so it should be ok with a pair of pliers. not too hot in the winter but (in fact quite cosy) a bit much on a hot day if you are riding/pushing up I use a long sleeve with the elbow padding as I always seen to land on mine..... 661 does not have any back protection makes you look like batman.... but you dont notice it under a baggy jersey. Its impossible for anything to make you look sexy
would try on that basis but obviously does not offer the protection of hardshell kit, but much much better than picking dirt and stones out of your grazes, and thakes a lot of the sting out of the impact
