If you decide to get new gear, I urge to you atleast consider taking a look at them and see if it makes a difference for you.
Keep the reviews coming.  |
There's 2 reasons I didn't go with Knox for my shorts and knee guards - 1) price, & 2) availability. I purchased my Alien jacket from Revzilla and due to their Revzilla cash program, along with the rest of the money I had budgeted for my shorts and knee guards I wouldn't have had enough money because Revzilla doesn't carry the Knox shorts - which is really what I did want. I opted for the knee guards despite Revzilla carrying the Knox limb tubes because the area of coverage is greater for the Dainese knee guards. Because of my Revzilla cash I was able to afford to get the knee guards and the shorts pretty quickly. It would've been another month or 2 before I would've had the cash for the Knox shorts from STG and I didn't feel like waiting that long.
As for not going with the SAS-TEC, I mentioned my reasons for not going with it in my OP so I won't bother rehashing it.
