Turtulise yourself with DX's motorcycle body armour for around £33.00 @ DealExtreme
Well this was posted a year ago and it is time for refresh as item is back in store.
Like it was said in previous post this may not be high end stuff for motorcycling but certainly for extreme mountain biking it's a lot of protection for around £33. Up to hukd/biker-ers judgement.

Maybe. But wouldn't you look a bit of a t1t wearing fishnet stockings on your arms?

Yeah well..... it aint something i'd wear.
But enduro riders and guys who do track days wear this stuff.
Pros:
Fits well, looks good.
Cons:
Does not seem to be able to absorb significant amount of kinetic energy. Spine protection is next to non-existant -- armor plates are thin, soft and flexible.
Other Thoughts:
Ok for mountain bike, definitely too weak for motor bike, though better than wearing no protection at all. And it is much cheaper than anything I could buy in local stores.. but own health is not a good thing to save money on.
Bottomline:
Offers reasonable protection from skin scratches, but won't save you from breaking your bones if you fall a bit harder.
