six six one Evo Pressure Suit

May 1st, 2018 Update: I have grown thoroughly comfortable with this armor suit! It has allowed me to remove rather poor armor out of all my jackets so I have this Pressure Suit and can change jackets easily and at will - this SSO armored suit does seem to make some people a little nervous, more of a "you are weird for wearing something I don't understand so I'm keeping my distance" kind of thing - this is NOT a con, just something to consider... I've now worn this on over 60 rides, some, thousands of miles in length, probably have around 10,000 miles wearing this suit now and I just really like it. I have worn it off road as well and I can stand for hours and barely notice I'm wearing it!So how is it holding up? Like I wrote in my 1st review, the suit looks well designed and made and that has proven to be the case, long-term. Here's where I nit-pick a little but am very happy with this item. I did have to have my tailor fix the elastic arm band below the elbow - I removed the plastic buckle tension clasp and just had the band sewn for my arm size there - annoying problem solved! This may just be how I wear it but the shoulder velcro clasp works nicely but plastic tension clasps go sideways, looking funny but still hold up. Where I pull the shirt off at the sleeves has begun to stretch the material so it has started to "run" sort of like nylons that a woman might wear so I'm being more careful, and more slowly working the tight cuffs free over my hands - again NOT a con - this thing is well made and the material does hold up well inspight of how thin and lite it is. Eventually, it will fall apart here and I'll need to replace but feel I have seriously gotten my money's worth! I didn't give it 5 stars simply because the elbow slip buckle is a serious design flaw that NO one is going to be able to live with for very long... 661 - move slip to outside and use velcro to fasten or move down arm a bit but plastic adjustment buckle MUST be moved elsewhere! Final note - I still wish this thing clasped a bit farther below the rib cage maybe had a little impact high density foam for lower abdomen and kidneys... none the less I would / will buy again!1st, let me just say that I think this is the best dollar value I've found and 2nd, I'm an ADV rider (big adventure bike ie: R1200GS) and wanted to see if I could improve on my jacket based armor. I like this pressure suit top and the chest protection, while designed to hold ribs in place in case of a ski or bicycle fall is Not perhaps so good for ADV riders. I wish it had more solid chest protection and the wrap around velcro belt was a little lower. As it is, it feels a bit too high (I'm 6' 1" 220lbs, not much of a gut - I got the XL size). I also found myself frequently tugging it down in the front for it to be comfortable. The good stuff: The fabric is light and very stretchy but also feels strong and looks well designed and made. In it's best position for me, it is comfortable and breaths well. I expect that it will work well when it gets hot but I also expect to struggle to get it off when hot and sweaty... Speaking of getting it on and off, I found that I had to unhook one of the front upper velcro fasteners for the chest piece in order to get in and out of it. I also am careful to gently free the rather tight fitting sleeves off first, these being tight enough that I also had to take off my watch first to put on or to take off... I also noticed that the elastic bands near the elbows, once fastened down snug, dig into my elbow at the bend so that after 2 hours of riding, I was sore and red in that spot on both arms... Basically, I like this thing and I think the designers did a good job overall also remember this is Not specifically designed for an ADV rider or perhaps even motorcycling in general... Considering that, I'm going to work with it to see if I can adjust it enough to make a comfortable peace with it. I also think it is properly sized for me in XL with the sleeve ends being maybe a bit too tight - so if you are big and heavy, you might consider going with the XXL... Finally, when I consider a Leatt pressure top like this being $150 more expensive and NOT that much better, I have to say that this is a good dollar value and worth a try to my ADV bretheren...

I'm 5'8" tall and 130 pounds and the small fit me perfectly. This pressure suit is nothing short of amazing! The quality is the best I've seen and it not only fits like a glove but also offer total flexibility. A lot of thought went into this design too because it's very easy to put on and off and lots of adjustments as well.My only complaint is that i'm not a fan of the massive "six six one" logos everywhere including the print of the undershirt with "six six one". I would have preferred just plain black or grey instead of being a walking billboard advertisement for the company. But i still LOVE this suit regardless.

I use this product for both playing ice hockey and mountain biking. It has been excellent so far. I am 6' and a lean 160 lbs. and the large fits fine. A very comfortable fit with plenty of straps to customize the suit appropriately. The chest piece and spine protector come off easily if you don't want/need that level of protection. The shoulders and elbows have a great foam that is soft, yet feels gel-like and more protective than mere cheap foam padding. I've gone down on the ice in hockey and haven't felt a thing. The suit also breathes well, although it does get a little hot on bike rides with the temperature above 80. The only slight downfall is it's a bit hard to get off after it is soaked with sweat. Overall very pleased with this product.

I bought this to protect my full sleeve tattoo on my left arm while riding and it works perfectly! Good fit and functionality wise I feel very protected.

feels a little bulky when used a whole day in the bikepark.

Feels great, fits well. Great price.
