[QUOTE="SaintsFan_Webby, post: 108237"] I've worn body armour since I was about 12, but then again I've never really had the biggest upper body physique. Just don't expect it to prevent every injury, as a have managed to dislocate my shoulder several times while wearing it. Avoid Kooga padding, it's crap. The Canterbury one you talk about looks good, although I use one of the recent Gilbert releases myself, which seems to do the job. Just depends on how much protection you want as to what you go for. The Flexitop looks good if you just want protection across the shoulders, although if you play in the forwards you may want a set with padding on the biceps, sternum etc. All depends on personal preference of flexibility vs protection.
