@Deckoz you’re the man. Peoples listen to his wisdom
The stock comes with CE level 1 pads, back, shoulder, elbow. I upgraded mine to CE level 2 D3O pads for extra protection. If it works, I don’t know 
never took a fall
thought it’s just reinforced cloth, but still… don’t belive this can work that good
But others have already fallen and they didn’t get hurt
wait a sec These aren’t sold yet?
In few days should be available online
what’s better: a vest like the leatt body protector 5.5 or a leather jacket/suite? I see many pics of (e)skaters showing or wearing their leather suits, but didn’t read about them in any safety discussion yet I guess a leather jacket with inbuilt pads comes close or is better - depends on what you compare with - than a protector vest
Any knowledge or experiences?
I wanna put a good word in here for:
Hand / Full Gloves:
Upperbody / Vest
- Leatt Body Protector 3DF Airfit Low-profile, under-the-hoodie option for those who don’t want to look like Robocop. High CE-l2 protection on back and chest, CE-l1 on elbows and shoulders. Saved me more times than I like to remember.
Knee
Hand / Openfinger-Gloves
…and I want to warn against the Flatland3D E-Skate Glove. They’re just super-flaky. The ‘pucks’ or the armour or whatever they’re meant to be, is in the wrong place and the material isn’t abrasion resistant so they fall apart pretty quickly. This is what they looked like after one or two light scuffs:
If they were a quarter of the price, maybe, but for that sort of money, go for the Loaded’s.
