Hey,

has anybody here had any problems with their Velocity Gear armor quality? I had both zippers connecting the backprotector to the top blow out, and yesterday for no apparent reason the buckle connecting the chest-protector to my shoulder came lose with normal handling.

I've been happy with my High Velocity armor so far, but I'm beginning to wonder if you get what you pay for.

I've never been a fan of Dainese because they are so expensive, but I must admit that the Dainese protection I own still works after many years of wear and tear. I'm interested what other people with Velocity Gear will say.

Thanks,

Jaap

What did blow out, the stitching or the zippers?

The zippers. Fortunately, a friend was able to put new zippers on them (thanks Carmen!). On the buckle, it was the stitching that blew out.
