i cant seem to find an item description for this on any item ive looked at so i figured id ask the experts. do most one piece leather racing suits come with removable armor? or is it permanent?

but, most DON'T come with a chest or back protector though... i'm not sure how many people get chest protectors, but SportBikeTrackGear.com recommends a back protector.
that being said, i upgraded my suit with a CE back protector as well for around $25. it drops right into a built-in back protector pouch and fits snug. it makes the suit noticeably tighter and bulkier, but i think it's worth the added protection.
i think the higher end suits like A* and Dainese have buttons and velcro that allow you to attach the back protector to it.
There is the flat back protector pad of which there are different versions that may or not be CE rated. There is also the racing back protectors that you wear in addition for racing and can be worn street riding as well. The are spine protectors.
right... i saw some on their web site- ie they are like curved plastic vests you put on with extra spine armor etc. i will consider getting one of those when i upgrade to a 1-piece...

good info guys. the reason i ask is i am hoping to get some protective gear from my wishlist for xmas :wav: and one thing is THIS and i dont think doubling up at the shoulders, elbows etc would be too comfortable or safe even.
That Juggernaut armour is way cool if you are wearing a jersey or a non-padded, non-motorcycle jacket. If you have a CE approved motorcycle jacket then the full Jugernaut is overkill. I think that is for Motocross where the riders wear jerseys.
i haven't really found a 1pc in my size (38) that's also the right color/ style/ price, which is why i haven't really been rushing to get one. for canyon riding, the 2pc seems adequate and more flexible. i might just put off buying a 1pc altogether until i upgrade my bike in a year or two...

I always figure if you're wearing a real 2 piece it's always zipped together. That's what makes it a suit to me and not just wearing a jacket and pants.
