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!!
yeah I was on chainreactioncycles.com and they have some nicely discounted back protection and other kit. Will have a chat with the others coming away and see what the general idea is!
