I've been thinking of getting some body armour/pressure suit to replace the useless (wobbly) armour in my textile jacket and for mtb use.

Came across this Stern body armour on fleebay:

which appears to be a very cheap copy of the UFO Scorpion:

They are both CE approved but not sure if that just refers to the back protector. Interestingly, the Komodo Adventure Armor suit in the States is fully CE approved to some number at Class 2 level and is allegedly a rebranded UFO Scorpion:

Suppose it's a bit much to expect all that quality/protection in the Stern for �50 though!!
