Pleasantly surprised
This was bought to save me looking like even more of an idiot trudging up hills carrying a longboard wearing a single piece leather racing suit. I was a little skeptical of how much protection it would offer, however after taking it for a ride including a couple of spills that would rip through normal clothing (and skin) I can say that I'm pleasantly surprised (hitting the road at 50-55km/h barely left a scuff mark). The reinforcement around the elbows, delts and back make it a little bulkier than a regular flanno but it's a small trade off for the protection it offers.
