Velocity Track Gear Juggernaut armor shirt

I bought this before getting leathers, using it under a mesh jacket. My gear has changed, I no longer have need of it and I haven't used it in two years. I was hoping it'd fit under the VERY tight suit I just got, but no go. Selling to fund new armor.

Full CE armor, with a Level 1/2 back protector (there's a kidney pad that makes it Level 2, which can be removed). The back protector zips onto the shirt, or can be removed to use by itself. Very versatile.

It's clean... always worn over a long-sleeved shirt, so the only thing that ever touched the fabric was my wrists.

Size is M/L, with a six-plate back protector. According to the manufacturer, that's for a 36-42 inch chest and someone 5'6" to 6'1" tall. I'm 5'7" and weighed 170-175 when I was wearing it. Fit well.

Note: the belly band is very robust and wide, and I found that the shirt worked better when it was fastened on top of the chest armor (armor tucked into the top of the band) rather than below it as shown here. A taller person would not need to.

The photos below are factory stock shots and pickups from the WBW review. If there's any interest I'll post actual shots.

Full info and more photos at http://www.highvelocitygear.com/juggernaut.html

New cost $189. Asking $100 shipped.

Hi there,

I'm interested ...but I'm living in Bali, Indonesia . Any idea how much it would cost to ship it (doesn't have to be express mail, just a type of mail that gets here safely enough)?

I'll have my Nigerian banking representative get back to you.

Sorry, but that looks, smells and sounds like the opening to a scam.

Scam? No scam here, mate. I'm an English language teacher living in Bali.
The only thing that isn't 100% is that I don't actually have a Ninja - I have a KLX; hence the need for decent protection. And this is exactly why I joined this group -- simply because I saw the Juggernaut rig for sale.

Is there any proof I can provide for you?


The problem that most of us guys have in Indonesia is that all the decent, top spec gear is not available for sale in this country (or you can get new stuff imported but then get stung badly when you try to get it trough customs). Import duties are crazy (20~30% on most things, but over 100% on motorbikes!).

I had been looking around for D3O Evo ST (which is the armour that keeps it's level 2 protection at high temperatures), but I can't get my hands on that anywhere.

Over to you.

The flag was only partly the overseas bit. One post also is a big red flag.

Got an ebay user name for feedback purposes?

Can you paypal from Indonesia? (I don't even know.)

I will not do any sort of wire transfer, money order or check, simply because they're all too risky… in this day and age, payment hijinks are rampant. Payment would have to be from a trusted source.

I'd also have to add shipping because it's overseas… don't know how much that would be but I can find out. I'd take the cost of USPS shipping to California (farthest from me) out of the total to make it fair.

Sorry for all the caveats, but unfortunately the world we live in makes 'em necessary.

Looks like something I would wear... Have to get back to ya on it though, bit broke at the moment, hopefully won't take long. If ya got it when I get the money it's on, if not ya got it sooner and that's good.
