rock garden flak jacket what do you think?
- Thread starter BarbaRosa
- Start date
I had the old style jacket for two years and was very happy with it. I have since got the new '05 and it's heaps better. I am a big fan of the flak jacket because after seeing all the features it has for the price it is the best thing out there as far as overall value and durability. Plus a long-time supporter of RM! 
Works awesome, I just needed mine the other day while trying to lawn dart myself into the ground and then rototilling the landing with my shoulders then back. They are refreshingly smooth and not to bold. "Oh yeah that was a bear post"
They are great and comfortable upon impact.

ya i was also considering getting one, theres not alot of options for short sleved armor, how about the mace swat jacket has anyone tried it?
Anyone got some input on how the Rockgardn jackets fit on "the ladies"? My girlfriend is thinking about picking one up on closeout from cambria ($130 Australian? F**k yeah!), most likely a small/medium size. Any information would be much appreciated 
ive got a flak jacket, other then being a little hot in warm weather, i've got no problem with it, lol might have saved me some really painful injury's a few times
My Flak Jacket was definitely a little warm for Bootleg but I've worn it many other places from Plattekill to Whistler and it has always done its job
I have the '03 model and I love it. It's never let me down and has always stayed in palce during crashes. My only complaint is that it was a little long in the arms for me. Solution - I just had the arms cut-off, short sleeve style.

Cambria has '04's for $100. I amj going to get an '05. this is $160 at universalcycles.com I think you can take the arms off.
yeah you can take the arms off or just use the arms.
So how's the padding around the upper side gutt/just below ribs area? I took a fall the other day wearing EVS armor and was left with (for the second time) a nice softball sized bruise and rasberry in that area. I've got no padding around there at all, time for new armor. Might pick up the Flak.

The Large Jr. Flak Jacket is a good choice for petit gals, from 5'0" to about 5'5", anywhere from 100 to about 125 pounds.

Some dudes really hooked me up at this rhythmcycles.com place!! Sweeet
All I can say is I fell off a bridge I Diablo dropped 4 to 5 feet onto 3 snow making pipes (echo saw me afterwards) and though it still hurt like SOB I was able to walk away from it!
Easily, would have crushed a vertebre and broke a few ribs if I was not wearing it.
That is the best I can think of to push a product! How it saved my A$$

I am 5'3 and my waist 29" and my belly is 30" at the widest. WHat size should i get?
Adult Small is my guess. You are shorter than I am but about the same size around.
I love my Flak Jacket, the new ones are slick too!

You might be a Youth XL but most likely an adult S/M. I'd call Rockgardn and ask Mark, he can tell you for sure what size will fit best.
WOOOO mine comes tomorrow, would have been today but no mail on sunday, anywho, the one i tried on from punkassean fit very nicely. seems to breathe well. more info tomorrow.
