The Sette Impact Protective Suit w/ Zip-Off Sleeves was constructed using an open mesh design that is intended to give a rider superior comfort and mobility. The vented high density foam under layer provides protection, and maintains ventilation, while a removable articulated spine protector, with multi strap kidney belt keeps everything tight and secure. Extra protection is gained with strategically placed, shoulder cups and chest plates that are injection molded for extra durability. Removable arm guards with elbow and forearm protectors, make this one of the most versatile DH/Freeride protection suits on the market.
Strengths: Cheap price. Fits well. Comfortable to ride in. Well ventilated. Versitle suit. Lots of adjustments to custom fit to your body.
Weaknesses: FOLLOW UP REVIEW.... The 2nd unit has now been sent back. Same issue. The material starts to tear away from the seem under the armpit. I'm gonna try out the Troy Lee armor next. A friend of mine has that one for a while and its held up very well. The base mesh layer. The first one had to be exchanged. After my first ride in which I fell, I noticed 3 hole under the arm pit... Not sure if it was there from the begining or if it happened from the simple fall I took...
Bottom Line:
Cheapest body armor around. Has just as much padding and protection as others out there. Comfortable to ride trails in.
But it doesn't seem to hold up at all. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone
